7 ways to arrange wall niche|PdD

A niche in a wall is an arrangement challenge. However, with a little work and a good idea, we can bring out its potential. How to do it? Check out our suggestions.

1. Built-in

The most popular and very simple way to arrange a niche is to create a built-in. This is a great place for a capacious closet or a smaller cabinet that reaches halfway up the wall. You can paint the upper part of the niche in a different, interesting color. This will give you not only storage space, but also place to display decorations.

2. Dining room

If you want to separate the different zones in the living room, the niche can be used as a dining area. You can arrange a small dining room with a folding table placed with its shorter side against the wall. Add to it a few compact chairs, which you can easily store under the table. It is worth distinguishing this part of the room by painting the niche with a contrasting color.

A niche in a hallway or bedroom is a great space to create a closet. To start, carefully measure the available space, including width, height and depth. Then think about what items you want to put in it. This can include shelves, cabinets, clothes hangers, etc. Even a single rod on which you will hang your outer garments will give you more storage space.
