When it comes to deciding what shelving you are going to place in your shower area you will need to make an important decision.
That decision will most likely be between the shower niche and the shower.
Both have their pros and cons but let me guide you below and let you make your decision.
Shower Niche
A shower niche/box/shelf is a practical and stylish vessel for all your necessities. The reason I have used so many slashes is like all parts of renovations different tradesmen have different names for the same actions.
For this though we shall go with the niche as it sounds cooler.
I love the use of brushed copper in our Armidale bathroom below as the niche is more subtle.
The rising popularity of inbuilt shower recesses is due to a few reasons but the number one is the hatred people have had with rusting shower shelves and the cramped nature of too many items sticking out the wall, Who hasn’t banged their head or elbow on a shower soap dish?,
If you haven’t, consider yourself very fortunate.
What I love about this Armidale bathroom renovation below is our sparky used strip lighting in the niche to make it pop and become more a feature with the Kit Kat tiles.
Shower Ledge
The shower ledge or the wall to wall wall which is exactly as the weird title states is a wall that goes between the shower walls or across the entire bathroom. Becoming more popular than the shower niche both due to its size and ability to be used as a feature you will find the shower ledge the most popular shower shelf going into the 2020s and beyond.
The key with this Glen Inness main bathroom renovation below was getting the shower heads right to work with the height of the ledge required.
The key to getting the heights right and understanding the placement of the items it affects is really crucial and experience-based. Below I’ll give some quick notes to look for when attempting the shower ledge and a link to an alternative to the shower ledge.
These bathrooms we completed in Inverell below took expert tiling to make sure the walls worked perfect in each bathroom.
When it comes to deciding which will work for you remember this, shower niches can only go on external walls or if you have enough room they can go in stud walls.
The wall-to-wall shelf can pretty much go in any shower but will affect space, the shower screen and the height of items.
