Bright niches in the interior

A niche in the wall is a strong decorative element that can transform literally any interior. Its necessity can be judged by several signs. The functionality of a niche can be very diverse, as well as its location. This technique came to the interior design from rustic styles that include niche shelves. Similar elements are also found in southern variations of country style. They do not perform any specific tasks; they have an exclusively decorative role. The color in the country for the niches is chosen exactly the same as for the wall itself, in which the niche is located.

Niches are also actively used in the classics. From above, the openings in this case are most often rounded. The portal is a white color. According to the canons of the classical style, a vase or figurine is placed in the center of the niche. The color inside contrasts with the primary color of the walls.

Figurines and vases are not provided in niches in retro style. If you choose this direction of interior design, you can decorate a niche with family photos, a floral collage or a beautiful picture. Highlights in retro and classic style are not provided. Niche placement is usually symmetrical.

Practically nothing is limited to the use of niches in modern interiors. They can be placed as you like, have a very different color. You can use the backlight and other tricks. In the Japanese interior, niches can often be seen in the bedroom.

Modern style options are distinguished by the fact that the frame is not used for them. Such openings are simply cut out in a drywall.

The functional purpose of the niche is almost predetermined. It is most often equipped as a shelf. For beauty and convenience, such elements are placed in the walls located at the head of the bed. Even if a niche is highlighted in any way, its lighting will not be enough for reading, so you must also take care of other light sources. Niches with large enough sizes are sometimes used as a stand for a TV or other equipment. However, the area of ​​the room in this case should also be quite impressive.

Attribute to niches any high functional properties is not worth it. This is primarily a decorative element, and therefore, the niche should look bright and interesting. But at the same time, you should not arrange too many niches in the wall, constructing something like a rack, since it usually looks ugly.
