Hello everyone!
My wife and I are considering getting lighting installed in the planned partial walls (one next to the bathtub and one in the shower).
What are your experiences with this? Has anyone here implemented something like that?
If yes, how much does it roughly cost? Just a ballpark figure... And how is it usually switched? Normally together with the main light? Or do you have a separate switch?
Our vanity unit also has a surrounding LED strip. We will have that controlled separately beside the main light switch, so it doesn’t cause glare at night or fully wake us up...
Would it be a good idea to connect the lighting for the partial walls to that as well?
By the way, how large should such partial walls be? Do you have any practical experience? And is it even feasible to build that into an 11.5 cm (4.5 inch) partition wall?
I would be glad to get some feedback.

We also installed this in our shower. I’m happy every time I turn on the light and see it shining there.

The last picture shows the width of the niche.
I don’t think it’s possible to implement something like this in an 11.5cm (4.5 inch) interior brick wall. Even if the recess were a bit less deep, there’s basically no material "behind" it towards the other room. Or does anyone see this differently?
At the moment, I’m considering shelves that can be installed without drilling. These would be "clamped" into the joint and held in place by the tiles.

I wouldn’t install a wall system next to the shower but rather build it entirely with drywall. How did you plan to cut out a niche in a wall that’s only one brick thick? Yes, that’s exactly why I’m asking...
I’m afraid it might not work with solid construction.
I still need to clarify that with my construction company.
Of course, it could be that I’m worrying unnecessarily. After all, the contract under VOB for the drywall installer is already signed at home... I just thought he was only doing the ceiling on the upper floor. It might be that he’s planned for the shower wall as well.

And I would rather not have the shower narrower than 88.5cm (35 inches)In that case, a glass panel would probably be a better option than a drywall partition; this would give you about 10cm (4 inches) more width for the shower. If the fixtures cannot be installed in the exterior wall (bottom of the plan), you could add a drywall extension there and create a niche.
