        "text": "A recessed niche should be framed into an interior wall whenever possible, as cutting into an exterior wall compromises exterior insulation and vapor barriers. Niches should align with full tile courses to avoid awkward narrow cuts, and the bottom shelf must be pitched slightly forward so water drains back into the shower rather than pooling against the back wall. Planning shelf height around your tallest shampoo bottles before framing begins ensures the finished tiled cutout is both functional and watertight.",
