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!

Oh, no. The room ends there; another room is behind it.Ah, okay 😀 It somehow looked to me like it continued beyond that.
ateliersiegel22 Jan 2023 09:00One of the most important criteria for me when furnishing new rooms is that they should be easy to maintain. Cleaning and repairs should not be unnecessarily complicated, in my opinion.
For example, I avoid built-in fixtures (even though they are often easier to clean) because fixtures often do not last as long as the house.

No baskets that can rust, everything nicely tiled. We don’t have a €3.99 (about $4.25) basket, but an expensive, nice shelf that can be cleaned quickly and hasn’t rusted even after 9 years.
The niches look good and elegant, but in my opinion, they are questionable when it comes to cleaning and maintenance.
Now, there are also fixed care product dispensers on strips again, which could be hung somewhere?!

… But we only have two refillable bottles in the shower, hanging in a wall holder. Sometimes there’s a tube of hair treatment left in the shower tray. I think that’s good too. I’ll check to see if there’s something like that that suits us. But as I said: no more plastic packaging for me…
By the way, the shampoo bottle stands on the floor in the drain cover.

By the way, the sprayer is placed on the floor in the channel cover here. Thanks, that’s definitely an option too! Just placing it on the bottom frame and leaning it against the wall. The point about the solid shampoos hanging is also a good one, since I have actually been using them instead of shower gel for years. I hadn’t thought of that at all.

Due to my 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) wall next to the rear guest bathroom, a recessed niche was unfortunately not an option for us.
However, we also didn’t want a metal basket, so we chose this solution instead. It’s not completely finished yet. It still needs to be sealed with silicone and cleaned up. I think this solution looks very stylish as well! How are the parts mounted? Screwed into the joints or glued in place?
Malle Zwabber23 Jan 2023 06:32The whole thing was glued. Essentially, the tiler simply glued two tile triangles together and attached a strip of tile to the front edge. Then everything was neatly finished with a Jolly edge, and it was done.
