When this homeowner in Wyndmoor, PA reached out to CT Tile & Remodeling, his goal was clear: update the shower without disturbing the rest of the bathroom. He loved the existing tile floor and Jacuzzi tub and wanted a modern, durable shower that blended seamlessly with what was already there.

When designing a new shower, storage may seem like a small detail—but it plays a major role in how your bathroom looks, feels, and functions every day. One of the most common questions we hear at CT Tile & Remodeling is:

Should I choose a shower niche or a shower shelf?

The answer depends on your shower layout, design style, and how you use the space. In this article, we’ll compare tile shower niches and metal shower shelves side by side to help you decide which option is right for your bathroom remodel.

When planning a bathroom remodel, storage should feel intentional—not like an afterthought. For many homeowners, the best solution isn’t a recessed tile niche, but sleek, durable metal shower shelves that provide practical storage while enhancing the overall design.

A well-designed tile shower niche is one of those small details that makes a big impact. It adds built-in storage, keeps your shower organized, and elevates the overall look of your bathroom. When planned and installed correctly, a shower niche blends seamlessly into the design—feeling intentional, polished, and built to last.
