What’s the difference between a shower niche and a shower recess?
The terms ‘shower niche’ and ‘shower recess’ are sometimes used interchangeably, but they actually mean different things!
A shower niche refers to a recessed shelf in the cavity of a shower wall – a finished ‘nook’ in which to store items like shampoo and body wash. A shower recess refers to the entire shower cubicle, including the walls and shower base used to make an enclosed shower.
