According to @athomewith__tanzin, a large niche like this looks better, is easier to install and clean and holds more products. Stick with the same shower tile when designing a niche of this size.

To create an accent look, place the tile on only one wall or in the shower niche. Or embrace the spa ... They are harder to install, given their size, but elegant style doesn't always come easy.

For example, if you know you'll never use a bathtub, you can use that precious square footage to install ... The shower's center niche is inset with a vintage mirror the same shape as the tile.
