ᐅ Looking for Furniture Advice for a Bathroom Niche

Hello everyone!
Here is the current situation:

Modern bathroom: white bathtub, showerhead, grey tiles, baskets and towels.

The Kallax shelf back there in the niche is only a temporary solution.
I would like to have something different there. The Kallax just fits in exactly. The width I have is about 155cm (61 inches), and the height is about the same as the Kallax (around 77cm (30 inches)).
I would prefer a shelf, chest of drawers, or side table that is a bit lower than the current one. It can have some open compartments for towels but may also partially have doors.
I can hardly find anything in the 150–155cm (59–61 inches) width range. Everything I find is either too short (for example, 120cm (47 inches)) or too long (160cm (63 inches) doesn’t fit).

Do you have any ideas what would fit well there? Preferably something from that big Swedish store or other online shops, any tip is much appreciated. 🙂

Oh, I can totally relate to that.
Vossen and Möve towels occasionally appear on Ventee, right now even Vossen is available. The sale started this morning, maybe you can still grab some nice ones. I bought towels there before my move and now use them in the shower toilet; they’re still in great condition.
In the end, last year I purchased the plush towels at Möbel Kraft using vouchers (30€ (about $33) back on a 90€ (about $99) purchase).

That doesn’t ring a bell for me yet, but I’ll take a look, thanks!

One thing is (almost) certain for us: the next living room furniture will be custom-made by the carpenter exactly to our specifications!
These will very likely be the last pieces of furniture we ever buy... 😱

So, Möbel Kraft should already be open for you as well 🙂
Quality is always quite individual: These cuddly soft things are relatively thick and often needed washing. My husband prefers the ones from Vossen, which are a bit lighter.
You have to register at Ventee... it’s worth checking in from time to time. But these are clearance or seasonal outlet items... I don’t mind as long as the price-performance ratio is right.

Thanks for the tip, their products definitely look very attractive.
Do you have any experience with their towels? Do you put them in the dryer?
Some of my towels have borders that bunch up in the dryer. This then distorts the overall shape of the towel, which I find more frustrating than I can put into words. I really like the borders, but they would need to withstand drying in the machine. Do you have any experience with this?

They have all already been in the dryer. The borders have not changed. I have Riviera (warning, very thick!), Safari, and India’s Jungle, and I am very satisfied with all three. “Night in Blue” would be so beautiful, but for that I would have to retile our bathrooms :-)
