Link separate recesses with a repeated tile backing

Separate storage areas can feel connected when a distinctive finish repeats between them. Here, vertical wood-look ribbed tiles line a long illuminated wall recess and a shorter recess beneath the bath window, giving toiletries a home in both parts of the room.

Repeating the backing links the two features visually, while the larger grey tiles provide a quieter background. Keeping the texture within the recesses adds interest without using it across every wall. It is a useful way to coordinate storage for different routines, while keeping bath products close to where they are needed.
