Little details like even the niches in your bathroom design matter! Thought given to size, tile, slab, decorative tile, are all considerations to take when remodeling.
Here are some design ideas for shower niches to enhance both functionality and aesthetics in your bathroom:


1. Classic Subway Tile Niche
Use white subway tiles for a timeless look.
Contrast with dark grout for definition.
Add a glass shelf for extra storage.


2. Bold Accent Niche
Use a different tile pattern or color inside the niche (e.g., mosaic, geometric, or Moroccan).
Frame with a metallic or contrasting border.


3. Full-Length Vertical Niche
Extend the niche from floor to ceiling for a sleek, modern design.
Ideal for walk-in showers with limited shelf space.


4. Recessed LED-Lit Niche
Install waterproof LED lighting inside for a luxurious spa feel.
Great for highlighting unique tile patterns.


5. Natural Stone or Marble Niche
Use marble or travertine for a high-end, organic look.
Blend seamlessly with surrounding shower walls.


6. Double or Triple Niche
Stack multiple niches vertically or horizontally for more storage.
Assign separate sections for different family members or product types.


7. Floating Shelf Niche
Incorporate built-in floating shelves inside the niche.
Wood or quartz shelves can add warmth and contrast.


8. Arched or Curved Niche
Add a soft, elegant touch with an arched design.
Pair with vintage or Mediterranean-style tiles.


9. Hidden or Corner Niche
Tuck the niche in a less visible area for a minimalist look.
Great for small showers to maximize space.



10. Frameless Glass Niche
Use glass panels for a seamless, floating effect.
Helps to maintain an open and airy feel in small bathrooms.

A Safe Home Is A Happy Home

Whether you’ve purchased a new property or need to give your home some TLC in 2025, safety should be the priority.


Protecting your property as well as the people and assets inside it doesn't have to be difficult. Use the following checklist for guidance and you won’t go wrong.


Prevent Weather Damage


Adverse weather can cause serious damage to the home. In the worst cases, it can threaten the safety of your family while also causing financial damages. Inadequate roofing is one of the most vulnerable features. Experts like A&J Professional Services can restore yours to full safety and function. Or replace it if necessary. Either way, quality roofing protects underneath while also supporting issues like insulation.


Other external features like windows and guttering need attention. Depending on your location, shutters or flood barriers may be necessary investments too.


Prevent Intruders


When thinking about home safety, potential security risks are the obvious concern. Adding the latest surveillance tech and security features is vital. For an extra layer of protection, you should design your backyard spaces to offer optimal visibility. Motion-detecting lights can also deter prospective thieves. However, it’s not only human intruders you must worry about. Pests could cause huge damage to your home and health.


So, ensuring that all potential entry points have been blocked off should be another key step. You should also clean up food spillages to reduce the attraction.

Stop Online Attacks


The modern home has a lot of tech features connected online. From Smart home systems to TVs, consoles, and cell phones, we are all connected. Naturally, this does pose potential risks. Browsing through a NordVPN Account will keep your family protected. However, devices still require firewalls, antivirus software, and other security features. You should also take care to cover cameras on devices when not in use to prevent spying.


As long as you are aware of the latest scams too, you should be fine. So, you don’t need to fear cyber attacks against the home. You just have to know about them.


Prevent Accidents


While the threat of outside attacks play on the mind, internal dangers are more common. Fixing faults with your plumbing to stay on top of potential dangers is essential. Similarly, you should pay attention to electrical faults or dangers, especially if you have young children. Childproofing may also extend to covering sharp table edges or using softer flooring like carpet. So, if they do fall down, there won’t be an unscheduled trip to the E.R.


If nothing else, preventing accidents will put you in a far happier state of mind. This should leave you free to actually enjoy life in the property.


Be Prepared


Prevention is the best form of protection, but you can’t stop every problem. So, it’s equally important to be ready for every situation, investing in smoke alarms could potentially save lives. You must replace the batteries when required, though. You will also want to have a first-aid kit in place ready to deal with any injuries. Of course, any chemicals or medication should be stored safely out of the reach of kids.


Where possible, you should put some money aside for any emergency situations. When supported by good home insurance coverage, you’ll be fine.
