18 Shower Niche Ideas for a Beautiful Storage Solution

Put self-care products within arm's reach.

We all need somewhere to store our shower products, so why not make it stylish? A shower niche is the epitome of blending form and function. It's a place where you can experiment with tile, color, and texture while maximizing your bathroom's storage.

Floor-to-Ceiling Niche

Rather than building a standalone niche, this one is tucked into the side of the shower and spans from floor to ceiling. Multiple shelves leave plenty of room for products, and it has an elegant built-in shelving look.

Double Niche

Rather than going vertical with another shelf, this double niche goes horizontal. Two side-by-side shelves leave a lot of room for bath products. If you have two people who regularly use this shower, each one gets their own space.

Full Wall Niche

Want to maximize your space for all your different soaps? Stretch the niche across the entire wall. This niche has the same small-scale mosaic tile throughout the shower, niche, floor, and even the bathroom walls, giving it a cohesive rather than busy look, despite the tiny tiles.

Pony Wall Niche

There isn't always a full wall to use for niche placement, but that doesn't mean you have to give up the niche altogether. Utilize a low spot, like a pony wall, to put a niche. It may be best to install one shelf with a low niche so you're not reaching down too low for products.
