If you have a small bedroom and it seems to you that there’s no space for decor, for a nightstand or for something else, no worries, you can make a wall niche. A wall niche is a decorative cavity, which usually features a rectangular or an arched shape, and it can be customized and used for anything around the house, not only in a bedroom. Wall niches have a number of advantages, among which are sleek and seamless storage and display and a catchy touch to the style of the room. A wall niche can act as a nightstand, a storage headboard, a display and in many other ways, here are some ideas to integrate it into your bedroom.
Headboard Bedroom Niches
A long and narrow niche can be an alternative to a storage headboard and can be used for storing books, displaying various types of decor and stuff you may need, you may even attach a sconce there. You can make this niche accented with a different paint color or some timber panels. You may also build in some lights if you are going to use it for storage instead of nightstands. Such an idea is perfect to save some space and add decorative value to it.
