6cm space after bath

We're in the process of having our bathroom done in an art deco style, and basically the bath needs to be boxed in. There'll be a 60mm gap after one end, and if honest, I'm not sure what to do with this space. I don't really like the idea of having a flat ledge behind the bath (both aesthetically and if water gets on there and runs off).

Any suggestions or ideas would be really appreciated. I'd thought originally of a false wall, but not sure. Even a short wall then slope back to the original would be something...

    False wall with a clear panel housing a TV so you sit in the bath, relax and catch up on your favourite box set.

    False wall made of glass bricks with hidden LED lighting behind for an ambient effect when chilling in the bath.

    False wall maybe. You could make some shelves into it for bottles, candles, etc.
  • We had the same situation and went for a false wall with a couple of "cubby holes" in. As Wassa123 says, you can keep bottles in there or whatever you like.
