A shower niche adds storage, but it has to work around the pipes in the wall. Here is the Carmel guide.
The wall
Niches fit best between studs, but supply lines or a vent can limit the location.
The size
Size the niche to the tile layout so the edges land cleanly.
The slope
The niche shelf needs a slight slope so water drains instead of pooling.
The call
Place it where it works with the plumbing. Call 888-217-3585 and Carmel Home Plumbing Co will match you with a Carmel pro.
