Tiled shower wall niche.

A shower niche is one such modification to the bathroom wall that can help declutter and organize an otherwise crowded and unorganized bathroom and shower cubicle. Be aware that if installing this niche in a wall deeper than 3 1 2 inches 2 x6 studs in my case you will need to build out behind your niche to make the wall depth only 3 1 2 with a solid backing i used osb due to the niche being flexible. If left unsupported on the backside your grout and maybe even take will crack with time. As you can see in this picture steve is using 12x24 wall tile that s the same thickness as the sill.

The sill tile should hang outside the niche by 1 16 if you ll be using pencil trim tile to frame the niche. Notice the same tiles are used for both the niche and shower for a cohesive appearance. It also can add some interest to those plain yet wide shower walls. This shower features carrara marble tiles and two long niches.

By making the sill stick out by 1 16 he ll make the pencil tile hang out over the main tile by the same distance. Installing a rectangular tile niche horizontally can give you a much longer space to keep your things. It is such a simple yet unique design that we wonder why we did not think about having something like this in our bathrooms around a decade ago. Don t be fooled by cheap imitations.
