Bathroom furniture and accessories
Open shelves and niches in the bathroom – design and practicality
Open storage looks airy, but is more sensitive to water, dust and visual clutter.

Niche in the shower
Design the niche during the rough construction. It must have suitable waterproofing, fall and accessible dimensions for shower cosmetics. Additional cutting of load-bearing walls without a project is not advisable.
Shelves by the sink
A shallow shelf helps with storing everyday items, but it should not interfere with movement or be directly under the water flow. A closed drawer is often better for small items.
Material of shelves
Glass and metal are easy to clean, while wooden or decorative shelves should be checked for suitability in humid environments. Sealed edges are more important than the decor itself.
Fewer exposed items
Two carefully chosen decorations and towels create a calmer impression than a multitude of bottles. The niche can be highlighted with subtle lighting, which must be suitable for the environment.
What to remember
Niches and their lighting should be marked in the design before tiling.
