Veined shower tile with a blue-lit niche

A long blue-lit niche crosses veined shower walls behind a clear glass enclosure. The supplied sequence follows exposed framing, board preparation and tile setting through the later fittings, while surrounding wall work remains unfinished.

Framing, boards and tile-setting stages

The earliest photographs show exposed framing and an open floor area. Later views record floor and wall preparation, the formed horizontal niche and tile setting. The earliest view records the stripped preparation stage before tile.

Veining around a horizontal niche

Gray, pale and warm-toned markings run across the rectangular wall tiles and continue onto the shower floor. The long recessed niche interrupts the wall pattern with a horizontal line of blue light. Close views show its tiled returns and the joints around the opening. When planning a similar niche, consider its height, tile courses and shelf proportions together.

Glass, fittings and the later installation

Clear glass separates the shower from the wall-hung toilet beside it. The later photographs show the handheld fitting, square control pieces and reflected blue light across the tiled surfaces. Exposed insulation and unfinished areas around the toilet and upper walls remain visible.
