If you’re the minimalist type, you may aim for as little clutter in your shower as possible. These farmhouse shower niche ideas prove why the minimalists among us need a recessed shelf in our showers. A shower niche is the ideal solution for storing shampoos and soap bottles in smaller showers without having to add unwieldy hanging organizers. They are also great for tub and shower combos because you can install niches on top of each other at different heights for when you’re showering or lounging in the bath.
Farmhouse shower niches are generally designed with contemporary subway, hexagon, or herringbone tile in white or gray. More traditional farmhouse designs include mosaic or penny tile. For an eye-catching look, go for shower niche tiling that contrasts with the tiling along the walls. No matter what style you go with, a farmhouse shower niche is a buzz-worthy solution for adding storage space to any shower.

Interior designer Huong Vu emphasizes the significance of attention to detail when it comes to creating a standout shower niche in a farmhouse bathroom. “The shower wall and niche alignment are a simple and thoughtful detail,” she notes, highlighting the importance of planning in the design process.
In her expert opinion, there are two key tiling options to consider. The first involves positioning the tiles in such a way that they meet the edge of the niche, subsequently forming a border with a grout line on the outside. The alternative approach is to extend the outside wall tiles past the niche, resulting in a grout line within the niche itself.
Vu further advises, “Clear construction drawings are crucial to guide the tiler in starting and cutting the tiles effectively in the design process.”
