Need a creative and functional storage idea? Want to add interest to your interior without being banal? Then a niche is your choice! Niche have always been an option for many homes, especially small ones, and today they are totally on!
What Is A Wall Niche?
A wall niche is basically a decorative box or space nested inside a wall of your home. It is fully customizable, and it offers a creative way to squeeze in some extra storage out of a blank wall. Wall niches are very versatile spaces that can be placed almost anywhere throughout your home, contrary to mountable shelving, which can get in the way (and make rooms look smaller), wall niches don’t extend past the surface of your wall and in one niche you may get a lot of shelves at once.
Niches Around Cookers
Placing niches around cookers or even placing the cooker in a large niche is a very popular idea for several reasons: this is practical, the hood is hidden over the cooker and everything looks seamless. You may also go for tiny side niche shelves on both sides – they are perfect for placing condiments, spices, knives, oils and all the other stuff you may need for cooking.

Niches With Cabinetry

It can be also a nice idea to create a home coffee and tea bar or just a home bar – placed in a niche it will be accented, especially if you use some bright tile or paint.
