Recessed niches, shelves and corner caddies built into the wall for tidy storage, with proper waterproofing and slope.
Shower niches are among the most useful details in a remodel. They hold shampoo and soap without the clutter of wire caddies and hanging bottles, and they add a design moment to the wall. They are also a classic weak point if built poorly. A niche is a hole in the wall, which means more edges to waterproof, a shelf that must slope slightly so water drains out and a framed cavity that must be precisely sized to fit tile. Good niche design considers tile layout, height, depth and the number of shelves. Nashville homeowners get the best results when the niche is planned along with the tile pattern.
We discuss size and location, then frame the niche between studs, aligned to tile joints where possible. The interior is waterproofed with the same system as the shower, shelves are sloped toward the shower to drain, and edges are finished with tile, trim or stone. We can also install a premade niche insert, a corner shelf or a floating glass shelf. We choose a height that is comfortable and out of the direct spray, and we make sure the niche does not weaken the wall.
Niche size and position are aligned to the tile layout so cuts are minimal and lines are clean.
Every edge and corner inside the niche is sealed as part of the shower system.
Shelves slope slightly toward the shower so water drains and does not sit.
We place the niche where it is easy to reach and out of the direct spray.
