What Is a Wall Niche?
A wall niche is a decorative box nested inside a wall of your home, fully customizable and perfect for squeezing in extra storage out of a blank wall. They're not new, and more homeowners are embracing them as smart storage solutions in small spaces.
Wall niches are very versatile spaces that can be placed almost anywhere throughout your home. This is a big advantage over mountable shelving, which can get in the way and make rooms look smaller.
They don't extend past the surface of your wall, so you can fit a lot of shelves in one niche. In fact, one niche can hold a surprising amount of storage.
