Stall is compact, hence no accent tile. I would suggest a generous sized horizontal niche on the back wall to hold products. Keep the tile rather plain / light colored to visually expand the stall.

no

i agree with Rita that the accent you choose is the main dater in a bathroom. the reason a new choice looks great (like a vertical strip) is that we havent seen so many vertical strips YET so they still look fresh.

they won't, as soon as everyone picks a vertical strip.

and what is really frustrating is down the road it will seem like such a little thing... 'if only this strip could be changed'. leave the strip off.

I agree, no stripe, but use an accent tile in a niche instead.

thank you for all the feedback; I appreciate it! And thank you for the compliment, Stacey. :) So it looks like one bathroom hubby's way, one mine - with no accent tile. I thought about it for the niche but then I kind of agree with a comment on another post... They look great in photos with nothing in the shower, but do we really want to draw attention to our shampoo, etc? opinions on that?

very pretty, cheryl!

I have a larger shower but used accent tiles in my niche. My niche only holds face wash, my razor, and after shower spray... I have 2 corner dispensers that each hold 3 products, so 2 shampoos, 1 conditioner, and 3 body washes. I like my silver accents. I did 2 vertical stripes at each shower head too. I am waiting for the glass to arrive.

If you didn't want to clutter up your niche you could put in dispensers.

Keep it simple. Something to hold soap/shampoo in same colour if possible.

Godswood: Your shower is gorgeous! I hate how the niches have to be only 3 inches deep because of the walls. I am considering corner shelves... have to think about that one...

everyone: any thoughts on those?

I too considered corner shelves until I saw the dispensers. Since I tiled my shower myself, I decided the dispensers were easier than shelves.

Thank you for your compliment. I am quite proud of my shower. :)
