Designing a bathroom requires careful attention to detail to remain beautiful and organized. The amount of hygiene and health products typically stored in this environment requires functional cabinets and other strategies. Increasingly, we see the solution of using niches to create a recess in the wall. This allows optimizing the available space and, as a bonus, makes the environment more aesthetically pleasing. That's why we bring you some examples of bathroom niches and tips for their installation. In addition, we bring you other examples beyond traditional soap dishes.
Bathroom Niche
There is no specific rule for the size of the bathroom niche. It depends on the number of products customers usually have. The main concern is to place them at a height where customers can easily reach them. Therefore, you should start at least 90 cm from the ground. Its height should be at least 30 cm to accommodate products such as shampoos and conditioners. Remember that these elements can have horizontal and vertical shapes and can occupy any space in the bathroom to optimize functionality and aesthetics.
When installing a niche, it is also important to consider the plumbing project to avoid interfering with pipes. Therefore, one must consult an architect or interior designer to study the existing wall and propose the best way to build its niche. As for materials, they should be waterproof. That's why stones are the most commonly used and desired. But some use plaster, porcelain, and concrete. These pieces can also create indirect lighting that can bring a different atmosphere to the environment when lit.
Sink Extension and Support Benches
Besides niches, we present some projects that have adopted other strategies to organize products in the bathroom. One is extending the sink counter to the shower in a design that integrates both spaces. Other solutions include building support benches that are not only used when the user wants a more relaxed bath but also for holding objects.
