Shower Niche 24×12
Width 24″Depth 3.5″Height 12″Shape rectangle
Overview
A 24 by 12 inch shower niche is a wide, recessed shelf set into the shower wall. Its horizontal shape holds several bottles side by side, and it shines as a clean, built-in storage spot in tiled showers.
Sizing & placement
The opening is 24 inches wide and 12 inches tall, recessed 3.5 inches into the wall. Its sill sits 48 inches above the floor by default, which you can change. At 24 inches wide it spans more than one standard stud bay, so the framing usually needs a header.
Where it works
Tiled showers and tub-shower combos in bathrooms; suits modern, minimalist, and spa-style designs.
