How can I disguise or decorate a recessed soap dish?

There are 2 recessed soap dishes in the wall above my bathroom vanity. They are only large enough to hold one bar of soap each. I can't remove them since I live in an apartment. They are in excellent condition but I hate staring at 2 empty niches.

Use them for holding razors, wash rags or small designer soaps.
I would buy two of the prettiest soaps I could find, and make them pretty. Maybe something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Sapphire-SoapRock-Decorative-Earth-Friendly-Packaging/dp/B075DBNK4D/ref=sr_1_55_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1523496555&sr=8-55&keywords=decorative+soap
Small painted canvases, but what about making nite-lights out of them? You can get small battery operated lights or maybe those battery operated fairy lights. They can act as nite-lights also. They sell some that stay on for 4 or 6 hours.
I'm thinking command hooks to hang handtowels to Cover The open holes Or Command Strips or adhesive velcro strips to adhere decorative tiles, Pictures, or light weight open top storage containers (plastic or Acrylic boxes, Baskets) for cosmetic brushes, hair ties, toothbrushes, toothpaste
Low light loving plants can do well especially with the humidity created in bath rooms. Maybe votive candles would add some ambiance.
I would put a potted tropical plant in each one. The tropical plants love all that moisture and steam.
Since it's a shallow space -- how about a few succulents in those spaces?
