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.”
