Built directly into the shower wall or accent alcove, arched niches with sleek glass shelves optimize storage while introducing sculptural architectural geometry.

  • Styling Strategy: Treat these illuminated ledges like a luxury hotel display. Feature high-end shampoo bottles with minimalist minimalist typography, a single white ceramic vase holding a dried palm spear, and a small stack of waterproof bath stones.
  • How to Make It: During a bathroom remodel or drywall framing phase, construct a wooden header in an arched profile. Waterproof the cavity thoroughly using a liquid membrane waterproofing system before tiling the interior. Install tempered glass shelves onto discreet silicone wall clips.
  • Variations: Line the back of the arched niche with iridescent mosaic tiles or zellige tiles to catch ambient light, pairing them with smoked bronze glass shelves instead of clear glass.
