You seem to have plenty of room in your ensuite, and I think you could squeeze one into the bathroom too, if you make it a bit narrower. It will depend where the taps are going too. Ours are all 180mm deep (that's frame size - it's a bit less with the Gyprock on), which is the width of two pieces of framing timber, but you can go skinnier than that. Some builders do them within a single stud wall... I can fit quite large vases in ours - in a shower niche, you only need it wide enough for shampoo bottles and soap etc. Whatever size they are, just remember that when you plaster, then tile over the surfaces, you lose space, so factor that into the dimensions.

Oooops. I stuffed up my cm and mm Our wall frames are 75mm so a double wall will be 150mm. Will need to measure my 1.5L bottles to see how thick they are. *Fingers crossed* 8 6382 5 7017 Hi, My home construction is complete, and the handover is scheduled next week.
