        "text": "Recessed niches can add useful storage without taking floor space, but they require careful placement and waterproofing when installed in a shower wall. A niche may conflict with plumbing, wiring, framing, exterior walls, or the preferred tile layout.\n\nElite Remodeling & Design can include storage in the layout and design-development stage, when wall conditions and tile alignment can still be reviewed. In some rooms, a surface-mounted cabinet or corner shelf may be a simpler alternative.\n\nKey factors:\n- Available wall cavity\n- Plumbing and electrical conflicts\n- Waterproofing at the niche\n- Product sizes and bottle height\n\nList the items you actually store before choosing shelf dimensions. Ask where the niche will sit relative to the shower controls, spray, corners, and grout pattern.",
