Want to design a niche in the bathroom, what to pay attention to?

To do a niche in the bathroom, it should be noted that the niche can not be done on the load-bearing wall, in the design of the time must be reserved well in advance. Doing a niche in the bathroom can save space in the bathroom, used to store toiletries is very practical. Usually also choose to use it in the bathroom shower room, you can store some commonly used toiletries, such as shower gel and shampoo, mainly used to avoid overcrowding in the storage shower room shelves.

The bathroom must have a riser, at this point, we can look around the riser, if the lifting plate has something very thick on both sides, such as a bathroom cabinet or toilet, then you can thicken the tiles covering the lifting plate in order to make the lifting plate flush with the support plate. At this point, even with the lifting plate wrapped up properly, the lifting plate and the bathroom cabinet will form a recess. As mentioned above, the cove is the least amount of space used and it is best to just increase the riser so that the riser is flush with the bathroom cabinet and leaves more space. Many times we need to thicken the wall surface. For example, when using a wall mounted toilet, the toilet cistern needs to be hidden in the wall. Wall-mounted showers and plumbing also need to be hidden from the wall, and then plasterboard is made on the wall. We might as well cut a hole in the plasterboard and make a niche; in any case, the wall has become thicker and it's a waste to leave it unused.

In addition to making niches in the shower, there are options for making them elsewhere. For example, the side of the sink is perfect for making niches where our bath products and cosmetics can be placed in their proper place. The size and shape of the niche can be customized according to specific needs. To store more things, you can expand the size of the niche and add a partition in the center. Because it cuts directly into the wall, it must be designed with the aesthetics of the overall wall in mind and with the proper depth and length in mind.

Generally, the thickness of the niche is about 15-20 centimeters, if it is too shallow, then its utility will be reduced, and if it is too deep, it will look bad. In addition, before excavating, we must confirm whether it is a load-bearing wall, if so, we should avoid it. If it is not, we can cut out the suitable holes directly according to the design requirements and reinforce the decoration. In the process of building niches, the construction technology is relatively high and the production is somewhat troublesome, we must pay attention to safety.
