Got a small bedroom? No worries! There are tons of ideas to maximize the space and make your bedroom not only functional but also stylish and welcoming. One of such solutions is a wall niche that will allow storage and display seamlessly, without taking floor or table space. Today’s roundup is dedicated to niche bedroom shelves that are a super cool idea for seamless decor and comfortable storage. But first let’s find out
What Is A Wall Niche?
A wall niche is basically a decorative box nested inside a wall of your home. They’re fully customizable, and they offer a creative way to squeeze in some extra storage out of a blank wall. Wall niches are nothing new and today more homeowners embrace them as smart storage solutions in small spaces. 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.
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. Such an idea is perfect to save some space and add decorative value to it.
