It’s me again. We are considering adding a niche in the shower for shampoo and similar items. Does anyone have experience with the pros and cons? Since we will have a glass partition, the squeegee would still need to be stored elsewhere because it won’t fit in the niche.
Technically, the niche can only be installed on the rear wall of the shower, where the faucet would also be mounted. In this case, only a concealed installation would be possible, as the shower bar would otherwise be in the way. Now I’m thinking, if something breaks, you wouldn’t be able to access the concealed faucet at all. Does that make sense, or would you rather skip the niche and install a standard exposed shower faucet?
Thanks for your opinions!

motorradsilke20 Jan 2023 03:14We decided against niches because I find they are difficult to clean. We now have metal baskets, which I can also remove and wash. So far, they have not rusted.
Malle Zwabber20 Jan 2023 06:38Due to our 11.5cm (4.5 inches) wall next to the guest bathroom at the back, a recessed niche was unfortunately not an option for us. However, we also didn’t want a metal basket, so we decided on this solution. It is not completely finished yet. It still needs to be sealed with silicone and cleaned properly.

Here is a photo of our niche in the old house, and the second one shows the design for the new house. More children, more niches. 😀 [ATTACH alt="shampoonische-janein-unterputzarmatur-614512-1.jpg"]77659[/ATTACH]
Do you still have a corner behind the shower there?
