Best decision ever to have 5 wall niches put in during our recent home renovation projects. They're clever, modern, discreet, safe, practical, and of minimal cost.
So You Want to Install a Shower Niche
Hypothesis: A shower niche (aka a tiny carved-out shelf for shampoo bottles and other toiletries) is the height of bathroom luxury. Whether one is covered in shimmering tiles or coated in Mediterranean-inspired
plaster, the tiny nook just feels utterly chic. For one, it also gives you a place to display your pretty products—so long, shower caddy. Plus, building one into your bathing space can make you feel like you’re living in a
hotel (housekeeping not included). Convinced yet?
If you’re
renovating, it’s a pretty easy add that’ll make even the most cramped showers sing. The challenge isn’t how to implement it; it’s narrowing down the styling options out there to just one look. We pulled a few bathrooms currently inspiring us.

Raise your hand if your morning routine involves navigating around shampoo bottles perched precariously on the tub ledge, body wash and conditioner piled in a corner, or the sad caddy hanging from the shower head. It's as annoying as it gets, and it's ugly, too. The thing is, when you're renovating your bathroom, it's easy to let this predicament slip your mind as you peruse pretty new tiles and fixtures. But we're here to tell you: Don't get distracted. Ask your contractor to incorporate a shower niche for storage—it will be the best decision you ever made. - Architectural Digest
