Versatile Alcove Uses


Usually alcoves are overlooked when it comes to versatile storage and decoration ideas for the given  room, though they can be made to suit many different purposes, from handy additional storage to pure room decoration. The most common type of alcove is found on either side of the fireplace, those alcoves are usually large enough to fit a free standing book case or a set of handy display shelves for awards or art pieces.



 Shelving in this case, could be constructed of multiple shelves of different size and depth. This will create a functional and artistic design suitable for both storage and display. The particular style of the book case or the shelving should complement the rest of the room for a complete interior design. Another very suitable purpose for fireplace alcoves is storing of firewood, this is handy and will save you numerous walks to the basement or garage for extra firewood during the cold months of the year. Choosing a suitable purpose for the given alcove is important, storage of firewood for instance will inevitably create some mess in the fireplace room, either it being the lounge or the living room.

For larger sized alcoves, and where room designs allow, the alcove could be turned into a fully functional study, the niche will fit a computer, a desk and a reading lamp. It is a good idea to use the alcove closer to the window for abundant natural light. For more artistic solutions, the alcove could accommodate a bold and funky wallpaper that emphasizes or highlights the fire place or an entire feature wall including the alcove itself – this look is usually preferred for simplistic room designs.
