So, keep scrolling to find out how you can make the best out of these awkward recessed wall niches with just some extra paint, a few decor pieces or even a strip of wallpaper.
Wall niche idea #1: Pop colors for that extra edge
Do bright colors attract you? Then this one’s for you. A wall niche can instantly be turned into an eye-catchy corner with this simple trick.
Just paint the wall niche in a bright shade of your favorite color or add a mural that personally speaks to you, and voila, your niche will instantly turn into an interesting focal point. If the above doesn’t float your boat, you can also wallpaper the space.
Wall niche idea #2: Floating shelves to the rescue
We often come across wall niches behind sofas in living rooms, on the side walls of a bedroom and the like.
Have you wondered why? That’s because of the way the buildings are constructed. The dead space between two pillars can be used to stack floating shelves to display stuff beautifully. Think vases, photo frames with family photos, books, and collectibles from your travels.
Wall niche idea #3: Deck up with decor
If you are someone who loves collecting decor items in various shapes and sizes, then you’ll love this niche design idea.
Wall niches of any size and form can be decorated with beautiful decor items like vases, ceramics, figurines. A host of smaller items gathered together will look great in smaller niches like the one above. If you have a large niche, then prop one large statement decor piece, a sizeable urn or painting also works.
Wall niche idea #4: Turn it into a pooja corner
For a believer, a home is never complete without a pooja room or a pooja corner.
Recessed wall niches are a great place to create your own little pooja corner, especially if you don’t have the space for a pooja room. All you need to do is demarcate the niche, in a different color or add a partition to keep things private, and place the deity along with bells, lamps and other pooja items.
Wall niche idea #5: Create mirrored wonders
Wall niches are the perfect place to display your memories in style. You can use these spaces to place photo frames of different sizes, which can form patterns to create a unique wall niche design.
Alternatively, you can also place mirrors to create an alluring accent.
