What Is A Wall Niche?
A wall niche is basically a decorative box nested inside a wall of your home. They are fully customizable, and they offer a creative way to squeeze in some extra storage out of a blank wall.
What Are Niche Advantages?
Wall niches are nothing new and today more homeowners embrace them as smart storage and decor solutions in small spaces. Wall niches are very versatile spaces that can be placed almost anywhere throughout your home, contrary to mountable shelving, which can get in the way, wall niches don’t extend past the surface of your wall and in one niche you may get a lot of shelves at once.
Making them large or smaller, deeper or more shallow is up to you and what you are going to use them for. Usually shallow and smaller niches are used for displaying various types of decor and even making gallery walls, while deeper and large ones are great for storage. Light up your niche if you want more attention drawn to it. Let’s take a look at rocking niches in bathrooms.
Niche Shelves In Showers/ Over Tubs
The coolest solution to use niches in bathrooms is to make niche shelves in the shower space or over a tub. Such a decision should be taken beforehand if you have this surface tiled or it’s a concrete or stone one – you will have to make it while tiling or pouring this concrete. If not, then it can be added later but it will be hard to do so. The niche can be big or small, tall and narrow or long and narrow, it can be a series of niches with shelves. Use niches for storing all the necessary bathroom stuff you have, from soaps and shampoos to loofas. You may also use them for decor, for example, seashells, faux plants and other. If this niche isn’t right where the water is, it can hold some towels. Niche shelves, especially those designed beforehand, look very seamless and elegant and give your space a modern feel. If you add timber to the niche, it will bring a more rustic feel.
