Niches are most commonly used for decorative display purposes. They can be most simply described as wall frames with a platform, which allows the addition of any piece you like. Niches can be surface mounted, which means that they will be inserted onto the wall as you would hang a picture or artwork. Otherwise, niches can be recessed, which means that they are built into the wall, in this case a hole must be cut into the wall for the niche to be installed. Depending on the type of walls you have, including the wall depth and what they are made from will determine the best type of niche for your home, and the easiest to install.
You can find niches in many places around the home. People often apply niches in the foyer, entrance, hallways, fireplaces and basically anywhere in the home that may seem a little bare. The main function of a niche is as a decorative wall feature. They give the home the feel of an interior art gallery and basically turn those bare walls into a piece of artwork. By adding niches to your home you will add a sense of culture and an artistic flair.
What are some of the things that you can have on display in a niche? Well there is an abundant array of possibilities, which it really depends on what you want to put on display for all to see.
