The purpose of niches in modern interiors can be varied. They are used for decoration, household appliances, as well as for storing things. In the latter case, this option allows you to compactly place a large number of objects without violating the style of the room and makes it possible to hide personal things from prying eyes.
Options for storage niches
Initially, niches in the interior were used only for decorative purposes, now they have a functional purpose, they can be:
- Hidden - designed in such a way that they do not stand out in the interior;
- A built-in wardrobe allows you to organize a compact storage system in it;
- A niche for shoes has special compartments for storing such things.
To organize such niches at home, you need to take care of this at the project stage. Determine in advance where they will be located. But already on the available area, you can also make such an additional place for storing things.
How to create a niche
There are only two ways to make a niche in the wall: use brickwork or drywall. The second option is preferable, as it is easier to manufacture and has a small weight. For its installation, it is better to use moisture-proof drywall.
Before starting work, it is necessary to make an appropriate plan with a calculation of all sizes and the location of the recess in the wall. If the area in the room is small, you must understand that such a design will require taking away from it about 60 centimeters in depth. This size is usually used for standard storage systems.
After drawing up the exact plan, you need to make markings on the wall. The frame for the future wall is precisely aligned according to the marking. In order for the entire wall area to be involved, shelves for books or household appliances in the rest of the niche can be provided.
After installing the frame from metal profiles, you can proceed to the formation of the wall and the installation of doors, in the case of a closed niche. Doors can be different, oar and sliding. Coupe systems are more convenient to use. Inside the niche, shelves and lights are necessarily provided. If the niche will be used as a cabinet, you need to install a bar for outerwear.
The outer part of the niche can be made hidden by designing it with facades to the tone of the surrounding finish, creating the illusion of a solid wall. Modern door opening systems allow you to abandon the handles and are actuated with one touch.
A niche in the wall is a great opportunity to organize storage of things, but when you create it, you need to calculate all the details so that it is functional and convenient to use.
