Functional And Cool Kitchen Niche Ideas

Functional And Cool Kitchen Niche Ideas

Niches are very functional for any room. They can be used for storage and display, placing pieces of furniture and organizing entire rooms within them. Today’s roundup will show you how to make the most of kitchen niches, save floor space, add interest, and make your space as functional as possible.

What is a wall niche?

A wall niche is essentially a decorative box that is built into the wall of your home. They are fully customizable and offer a creative way to squeeze extra storage space out of an empty wall. Wall niches are nothing new and are now being used by more and more homeowners as a smart storage solution in small spaces. Wall niches are very versatile spaces that can be placed almost anywhere in your home. Unlike mountable shelves, which can be distracting (and make rooms appear smaller), wall niches don’t protrude above the surface of your wall and form a whole. In one niche, you may end up with a lot of shelves at once.

Niches around stoves

Placing niches around the stove or even placing the stove in a large niche is a very popular idea for several reasons: it’s practical, the hood is hidden above the stove and everything looks seamless. You can also opt for small side niche shelves on either side – they are perfect for storing spices, condiments, knives, oils and all other things you need for cooking.

Niches with furniture

Some niches are large enough for closets and even an entire small kitchen. This is a great idea when there is not enough space and a niche can be a way to arrange large closets without them preventing you from moving comfortably here. It can also be a nice idea to set up a coffee and tea bar or just a home bar at home – placed in a niche, it will be accentuated, especially if you use light tiles or paint. You can even create an entire mini pantry in a large niche, it will look good and fit seamlessly into the kitchen.
