At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we’ve worked with countless homeowners to create stunning tiled shower niches using high-quality niche tiles that suit all styles and budgets.
In this article, I’ll explore seven inspiring shower niche tile ideas that are both practical and stylish. From sleek modern designs to eye-catching patterns, these ideas will help you turn a simple niche into a design statement. Let’s dive in and discover how to create a niche that’s as beautiful as it is functional.
1. Botanic Sedum
Give your shower niche a cool and modern look with the Botanic Sedum mosaic tile. This extremely elegant glass mosaic features varying shades of blue, purple, and grey. It has a glossy finish, which will do very well to add a fresh touch to your bathroom. This mosaic tile is suitable for shower areas of all sizes.
The Botanic Sedum mosaic tile is designed for simple installation with a minimum of grouting, which produces a neat and plush finish, which is exactly what you want in a shower niche. And its neutral colours complement a wide range of bathroom accessories and fittings without being overpowering or clashing. You’ll be making an excellent choice by going with this mosaic tile for your shower niche!
The Botanic Sedum mosaic tile is 328×304mm and is sold per sheet. It can be purchased from our online store for only $40 per piece.
2. Bold Geometry with Kaleido
If you want your shower niche to do more than blend in, Kaleido brings the personality. This 332x332mm matt porcelain tile features a mixed geometric design that feels playful but still refined—ideal for adding a pop of pattern without overwhelming the space.
At $20 per tile, it’s a cost-effective way to add some punch to your bathroom. I’ve seen this work well in niches as a standalone feature, but it’s also great repeated in a row or block for something more dramatic. Pair it with plain white or soft grey wall tiles to let the pattern shine. For DIY renovators looking to create a custom touch without custom prices, Kaleido is a strong pick.
3. Deco Heritage Mix Black Tile
The Deco Heritage Mix Black tile is an excellent choice if you’re looking to make your niche a standout feature in your bathroom design. This large-sized tile combines a mix of 72 different geometric patterns in varying shades of black, white, and grey, all presented with a textured matte finish. Its intricate designs and elegant look make it perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to your bathroom.
By choosing the Deco Heritage Mix Black tile for your niche, you can create a visually stunning focal point that enhances the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. Its durability ensures it will withstand high foot traffic, making it both a practical and stylish option.

4. Earthy Texture with Bracken
Looking to add a touch of warmth and depth to your shower niche? The Bracken tile is a standout. With its rich, natural tones and tactile surface, it brings a raw, grounded look that pairs beautifully with everything from brushed brass tapware to timber-look vanities.
It’s a great choice if you want to add contrast without going too bold—especially when paired with soft grey or warm white wall tiles. I’ve seen this used in both modern and rustic-style bathrooms where a bit of texture goes a long way. Bracken works well in niches, but also looks fantastic when carried through to a feature wall behind the vanity or along the shower wall for extra impact. And at 250x250mm and just $13.75 inc.GST per tile, it’s a budget-friendly way to add texture and tone to your bathroom.
