When dealing with a large niche in the bathroom, there are many possibilities to explore. Bathroom niches have become a growing trend in interior design. Their versatility and functionality make them an ideal choice for making the most of the available space. We have brought some examples to help you in your choice:
Large niche in the bathroom: create a shower space
One of the most common and requested applications for a large niche in the bathroom is to create a space for a shower. To enjoy a moment of relaxation, a large shower is among the most popular solutions today. An excellent solution then, inside the space used for the shower, is to create a corner to store body care products, shampoos and conditioners, soaps, sponges and more. Make sure the niche is properly waterproofed to avoid moisture problems. However, choosing a shower for a generously sized niche is not as simple as you think, there are some crucial choices to make, such as choosing the type of opening. We have selected for you some types of shower enclosures in a large niche:
Walk-in
The niche walk-in shower enclosure is among the most popular for a large niche in the bathroom. Simple and elegant, it lends itself to any type of style in the bathroom, thanks to the great versatility of the transparency of the glass, which is the protagonist in this type of product.
To embellish a generously sized niche, the walk-in shower box, although essential in shape and function, can be completed with some accessories that are as simple as they are precious. Among these we find internal shelves, which help in storing shampoos and creams as well as giving stability to the glass itself, removing the need for an upper support bar and finally towel holders external to the glass which attach to the latter.
Shower enclosure with double folding door
The shower enclosure equipped with two folding doors is among the space savers par excellence. But what does it mean? It means that the doors open inside the shower and close like a package. This clever design saves space in the bathroom as there is no need for additional space to open the doors to the outside.
Shower enclosure with pivot door
The shower enclosure with pivoting door is one of the most minimal solutions for a shower cabin in a large niche in the bathroom. But what exactly is a pivot door? It is a swing door, usually positioned with a pin 18cm from the wall, to allow you to install elements such as radiators or towel warmers near the door entrance, brilliant right?
A clear representation of this type of door is the collection of shower enclosures Kubik, characterized by minimalism, thanks also to the very small profiles and to the upper support bar integrated into the profile.
Shower cabin with double sliding door
It is the most classic solution when talking about a large niche in the bathroom. A double sliding door ensures the most comfortable entrance and additional space. A double sliding door ensures that the entrance space is sufficient, even for the elderly or people with disabilities, and that the space beyond the niche does not have to be left free to open the doors.
