A niche is a very smart solution for any interior as it adds decorative value and can be used for practical purposes, for example, for making a home bar in it, for storing things without wasting floor or table space, for placing a bed there and for many other. Besides, it looks absolutely seamless and sleek and matches literally any interior style. How to rock niches in living rooms? Let’s see.
A Usual Or An Arched Niche?
The shape and size of the niche is up to you, and while an arched niche is a very trendy solution like everything arches and curved today, a usual niche is classics that will never go out of style.
Storing Firewood
As we are discussing living rooms, fireplaces are often present there, and if you have one, you may build in some niches on one or both sides of the fireplaces to store firewood. Such niches will be both decorative and functional adding coziness with wood and displaying it in a cool way.

Home Bar
If you wanna have a home bar, you can make a usual or arched niche and place it there. To accent the niche even more, use some bold paint or wallpaper there, and then make a bar of a cabinet or a credenza. Add lights and all the necessary stuff and voila!

Decor
The most popular idea for a living room is rocking niches for storage and decor, that is for displaying various decorative objects, accessories, coffee table books, potted plants and blooms, travel finds and other precious pieces. First of all, decide on the shape and size of the niche, it can be placed in any part of the room – next to the fireplace, door, in the corner or in some awkward nook. You may go for a whole series of niches if you want. Second, decide whether you will accent it or not – with paint, wallpaper, wooden shelves or completely cover them with wood inside. Build in lights if you want to accent the objects inside even more. If you don’t use anything at all, your niche will look more modern and seamless. Now you can display books, decor and other stuff you want. Get inspired!
