Who’s thinking about a bathroom reno?

If you are, storage solutions are key. If you want a storage niche or ledge, this is an important design decision early in the process.
A niche or ledge is a great built-in solution for storing your soap, shampoo, and even a plant. Anything you need quick and easy access to.

So what is a niche?

A niche is a recessed storage space. You can have one or multiples and designed early enough in the process you will have less limitation on size and orientation.

✔️ PROS recessed into the wall so doesn’t take up space and great for smaller bathrooms

✖️ CONS limited by wall cavity depth & fixed height means you need to ensure you carefully consider what you want stored

What is a ledge?

Ledges are becoming more popular. They are a half height wall built into your shower space or near your bath.

✔️ PROS no height limitations due it’s open nature

✖️ CONS lose floor space as these aren’t recessed and suit larger bathrooms
