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!
