Everyone loves having a niche in their shower. A niche is functional, stylish, and one of those elements that adds tons of personality to a space. A shower niche offers a great opportunity to show off your own sense of style in your bathroom. Take advantage of your niche by trying out these design ideas!
Your niche doesn’t have to simply be an inlet in your shower that looks exactly like its surroundings. Let it stand out with its own style! A great way to do this is by giving your niche a sleek, calm, seamless look. You can accomplish this by using sheets of glass tile that will give the niche a noticeable sheen that also blends into the surrounding tile. It breaks up the monotony of the tile pattern and becomes a focal point in the shower. This is a very glamorous look that you’ll love!
Another way to add some interest to your shower niche is to mix up the tile pattern. For instance, a herringbone tile pattern inside the shower niche when the rest of the shower features a traditional, horizontal pattern is the perfect way to make the niche a special space. A smooth, marble shower with a herringbone-patterned shower niche looks stunning. You can also get creative with the color and the style of the tile in the niche itself. These basic ways to distinguish the shower niche from the rest of the shower are the perfect methods for giving your bathroom an extra level of character.
When planning out your niche there are several things you should keep in mind. You’ll want to make sure that all of your shower products will actually fit within the niche, so don’t install a niche that’s too short or too narrow. It’s also possible that there will be plumbing, electrical, or structural elements within the wall that could dictate the location and shape of your niche. Be flexible with your needs so that you can get the best niche within your bathroom’s limitations. You should also consider installing two smaller niches if you want to separate your own shower products from your partner’s. This can also make the niches feel less cluttered.
Your shower niche can be one of the most interesting, eye-catching parts of your bathroom. Give it the design it deserves with these ideas! Check out more ideas and examples in the article below!
