Niche decoration in the bedroom

Every day starts in the bedroom and ends there. This place in the house is intended for privacy and relaxation. Therefore, it should be cozy and comfortable here. A minimum of furniture and conciseness are welcomed. But modern bedrooms cannot do without original design solutions. An excellent design idea is a niche in the bedroom.

If it is already provided according to the plan in the apartment, it remains only to think about the restoration of the niche. Otherwise, a secluded alcove is easy to build with your own hands. Thus, you will not only add a touch of novelty to the interior, but also acquire a practical decorative element.

The installation of a niche in your bedroom can be entrusted to professionals, but it is not difficult to cope with it without outside help. A few sheets of drywall, profiles and a successful project - and now you can already plan what to place on the shelves at the head of the bed. A niche can easily place an entire library or an exhibition of family photos in its bowels. It will also take over the functions of a souvenir rack, replace the bedside table and become the best place for a TV. The advantages of plasterboard construction are as follows:

• affordable price for materials;
• quick installation;
• safety and environmental friendliness;
• the ability to create original forms;
• lightweight construction.

The niche is designed according to the general concept of the bedroom interior. Niches made in oriental style look especially interesting, when a spacious bed with small decorative pillows is languidly located in them.

Niches can be of a wide variety of shapes and differ not only in depth, area and design, but also in functionality. In each bedroom, using drywall, you can create a unique color and coziness. The niche makes you want to spend days in bed. And your interior will be the envy of everyone who will be allowed to look into your bedroom:

• A spacious niche in the wall above the head of the bed. This design will effectively accentuate the headboard. In addition to beauty, it is also very practical. If you cut out small shelves in it, the issue of storing remotes, mobile phones and a night light will be solved once and for all. And you no longer need to think about where to put the jewelry box or your favorite aroma lamp. There is enough room for them too.

• There are no rules for the arrangement of niche shelves. They can be located above the bed and on the sides of it, reliably blocking from prying eyes all those things that you want to always have at hand in your bedroom. Convenience is the main rule that you need to be guided by when arranging a cozy alcove for rest from daytime worries and night sleep.

• Small decorative niche. It mainly serves as an accent in stylish design, therefore, as a rule, it is complemented by subdued lighting. Plasterboard construction of this type is generously decorated with glass and mirror inserts, draped with fabrics. Textured plaster, imitation brick, photowall-paper are used as decoration. Niche design with voluminous photo wallpaper is a bold decision, the choice of those who want to make a niche the main detail of the interior.

• Dividing a niche into segments involves the use of spotlights. In each compartment, with the help of soft light, objects of your pride can easily and stylishly stand out - sports cups, honorary prizes, competitive trophies, antiques. There is enough space for everything that you want to contemplate every day.

• Niche for TV. It is always located at the headboard and perfectly copes with two tasks at once: it provides functionality and aesthetics. Only a panel can be framed by a niche, simulating a frame for a picture. And you can create a semblance of a bedside table with illumination and decoration in the same style as the bedroom from drywall. The internal space of this design will allow you to hide all cables and wires from view.

• Wardrobe niche in the bedroom. The dream of a wardrobe in the bedroom is also easy to achieve if there is a deep niche and a place in the room where to put a wide bed. Otherwise, it is better not to clutter up the room with furniture, but to leave the bed in a cozy recess. In a shallow niche, you can also build something like a cabinet. Several rows of shelves - and a practical chest of drawers is ready for its intended use. It remains to think over the facade so that things are not kept in plain sight.

Making a niche in the "Khrushchev", you can change the room beyond recognition, as if it were the design of a modern town house. In decoration, liquid or fabric wallpaper, textured plaster, staining, craquelure, play with color and light are popular. The niche can be separated from the rest of the walls in a lighter or darker tone, or decorated in shades contrasting in color.

On dark walls, on the other hand, light contrasting recesses look impressive and laconic. Such a solution will draw attention to the internal content, therefore, only beautiful, stylish things should be placed in open sections. Do not overload the compartments with souvenirs and figurines. Single compositions are the best option. Here are the basic rules for professional and competent design:

• the smaller the recess, the smaller the decor items in it;
• a small niche is decorated in the same color as the entire wall;
• it is better to frame a decorative niche from many shallow shelves;
• use the recess to create a decor for the Middle Ages, a cave grotto;
• lighting is an important element for a spectacular design.

In order not to burden the bedroom design with a complex plasterboard structure, it must be decorated with lighting. In addition to the decorative function, the light in a niche can carry a functional load. For example, you are a fan of reading before bed, but you can interfere with the rest of your significant other. Then the unobtrusive side lighting in the niche will replace your night light.

An interesting solution for illuminating a niche is the use of an LED strip. The play of colors will create a special intimate atmosphere in the bedroom. And here it is appropriate like nowhere else. But don't overdo it with lighting. Too bright spectra of neon light will make the bedroom look like a disco. This zone should cause peace and harmony, therefore warm light is optimal.
