Small and mighty or large and in charge, a shower niche doesn’t have to be an afterthought.
Sometimes we want it to nearly disappear into the wall, using the same material so it feels seamless.
Other times, it becomes part of the design, turning something purely functional into a defining detail.
The right approach depends on the shower, the materials, what needs to be stored, and how we want the overall space to feel and function.
And while some niches may look simple when it’s finished, there’s quite a bit happening behind the scenes. Placement, scale, tile layout, waterproofing, stone thicknesses, grout lines, and how each material transitions all need to be considered together.
Ten showers, ten different approaches. Which direction would you choose: simple and seamless or more of a focal point?
