storage around bathtub

[curlygirlygirl]

I think that things are starting to come along nicely in our master bath remodel, but I did have a question about our tub.  I take a bath every night and I'm an extreme girly girl with all sorts of shampoos, soaps, face products etc. I use in the tub.  

Have you seen any great photos of storage solutions around the bathtub so it doesn't look cluttered with everything all lined up around it?

I'm thinking about having a shelf put up along the wall, almost like a bookcase setup if that makes any sense.   But I don't know if that will help keep a clean look because everything would still be exposed.

Here's a couple different ideas...

Niches in homes with traditional decor

Wall bump out for areas where you can't thicken the wall

I prefer a thickened wall on one end with a niche just like you would have in a shower for the more hidden storage. Ideally the niche would be tiled so it can hold up to wet bottles.
