Elegant storage solutions: Integrating a wall niche into your home
A built-in wall niche is the perfect way to create additional storage space without compromising on your room aesthetics. Whether you are renovating a bathroom, upgrading a hallway, or designing a modern living room, these recessed compartments eliminate the need for bulky, protruding shelves. They offer a streamlined look while keeping your essential items neatly organised and easily accessible.
Particularly in wet rooms like bathrooms and showers, a wall niche serves as an ideal spot for shampoo bottles and soap. By integrating the storage directly into the wall structure, you achieve a minimalist design that is both highly functional and visually appealing.

Frequently asked questions about wall niches
How do I install a wall niche in a bathroom?
Installation typically involves framing a recess within a stud wall before applying the plasterboard or cement board. The niche is then secured into the framing, sealed thoroughly with waterproofing membranes or liquid tanking, and finally tiled over or finished according to the manufacturer instructions.
Can I retrofit a wall niche into an existing wall?
Yes, retrofitting is possible, but it requires carefully cutting into the existing wall to locate the studs and ensuring there are no hidden pipes or electrical cables. Once the space is cleared and framed, the niche can be inserted and sealed.
Are plasterboard wall niches suitable for wet areas?
Our green GKBi plasterboard niches are moisture-resistant and designed for use in damp environments like bathrooms. However, they must be properly treated with a suitable waterproofing system before any tiles or final finishes are applied to prevent water damage.
How do I clean and maintain a stainless steel wall niche?
Stainless steel niches are very low-maintenance. Simply wipe them down regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner to remove soap scum and water spots, ensuring they retain their elegant finish for years to come.
What is the best height to position a shower niche?
For optimal ergonomics, a shower niche is usually installed at chest to eye level, which is roughly 100 to 120 cm from the shower floor. This height ensures that shampoos and shower gels are easily reachable without having to bend down.
Conclusion: Upgrade your space with a premium wall niche
