Our homes can full of interesting and unique features. It’s what makes them so different from the next home. Interior niches can be a part of these unusual features and sometimes it can be a challenge to figure out what to do with them.

Interior niches or alcoves can be found all over the home, in living rooms, bedrooms, entryways and any other room in the house…! Depending on the space you can turn your wall niche into an amazing feature. Here are some top ideas and inspiration for decorating and styling those home details…!

3. Paint, Tile and Molding

A small change can go a long way to make a wall niche the focal point in a room. By using a contrasting color of paint or adding a tile backdrop, you can easily elevate your niche into something more special and intentional. You can make a subtle change by painting (or tiling) the niche a darker tone of the color already on the walls or make a bold choice by selecting a contrasting shade to make the wall niche pop.

You can also set your niche apart by taking a tip from the history books and installing some molding. “Historical” doesn’t mean stodgy or buttoned up, though…! Scallops and caps can be modern if used in the right way. Decorative molding around the niche not only highlights the niche itself, but makes it a more intentional and purposeful part of your room’s design.

Draw your guests’ eyes to your wall niche by displaying a statement piece there. A niche itself can make a statement, and displaying a carefully-chosen item can up the statement factor even more.

Just make sure the two elements complement each other. Lights adds more elegance to niches.

5. Highlight the Space with Art

Sometimes, a wall niche is up so high that it doesn’t make sense to be used as a display area for smaller items. But you can make the niche work double duty by using it to placing a piece of art…!

We suggest our clients that a wall niche can serve as the frame for your art, making it a structural and decorative element in the room.

Consider adding a beautiful, faux wrought iron design in your wall niche. This can pay homage to a window design without looking like a “fake window.” Attractive carved panels can do the same thing.

If you are able, an excellent way to mix function and design with your wall niche is to add a piece of furniture like small freezer compartment with a drawer and open shelves. The size of your niche may change the course you take, but no matter what, great furniture can elevate your niche into something more.

You have the choice to make the furniture inside the niche stand out, or blend in with its surroundings. A large niche might be a beautiful way to frame a wingback chair or rustic style chair. Or maybe you can find (or custom build) a dresser that tucks perfectly into your niche. It will look like the niche was made for that piece of furniture, not an afterthought or potentially random design element in the room.
