Design ideas for alcoves
Alcove ideas – 28 design solutions to maximise awkward recesses
(Image credit: Future PLC)
You may not have thought too much about alcove ideas before you moved in, then grown frustrated as you tried to arrange furniture around awkward spaces.
Alcoves are usually associated with period properties, where they are created by a chimney breast jutting out in the centre of a room. Typically, these double recesses either side of the fireplace are reclaimed as storage space in bedrooms and living room ideas, with built-in shelving being a popular way to utilise the space.
But this isn't the only way to use the nooks created by an alcove. Nor is it the only type of alcove you'll find in a property. Under-stair areas, awkward corners in loft-extensions and odd spaces created by renovations and extensions can also create alcoves. But, rather than ignore them or hide them, you can make these tricky structural recesses work in your favour.
Inspirational alcove ideas
Discover opportunities to be smarter with space. From much-needed storage, to cool decorative features and even functional family areas, we have all sorts of clever ideas for alcoves that you'll love.
1. Go low with a built-in bench

Create a relaxed, modern vibe by running low-level shelving in the alcoves either side of a chimney breast. Simple and unfussy, so perfect alongside a modern fireplace, one single long-line shelf can work as a TV bench or a display area for artwork. Fill the space underneath with a couple of chunky baskets for storing games kit and media or stashing logs and kindling.
2. Set up a reading nook for little ones

Create a quiet zone for reading away from the hustle and bustle of the living room or kitchen-diner. A low-level shelving unit can double up as a bench, topped off with a row of cushions or seat pads, and gives stowing space underneath for books, toys and games.
Make the space feel extra cosy by painting the bottom section of wall in a warm, tonal shade.
Add a couple of book shelves above within easy grabbing distance.
3. Build diagonal cubbies for books
(Image credit: Future PLC/Dominic Blackmore)
Make book storage a statement feature by creating a diagonal arrangement in an alcove. Use wooden cubes or box shelving, fixed to the wall diagonally instead of in a regular, straight line. Paint shelves dark to match the wall for a polished look, try dramatic emerald green, dark navy or dusky plum - book covers and spines will pop against darker tones.
4. Create pockets of colour
(Image credit: Dulux)
Create a breakout area by painting an alcove a contrast colour, creating a thoughtful bedroom or living room paint idea. Go just a couple of shades darker than your wall colour for a subtle, understated look or make maximum impact by choosing a dark, decadent tone for greater contrast.
An easy way of sectioning off a small area for a dressing table or work zone, just slot in a slimline desk or console table to fill the space and add a stool or chair to sit at.
5. Create ombre-effect shelves in an alcove
(Image credit: Future PLC/Dominic Blackmore)
Make a feature of simple floating shelves by painting the walls behind in tonal shades. Take colours from the same family, starting with the darkest tone at the bottom and going lighter as you go upwards, to give an ombre effect. Soft shades of green, create a calm, tranquil feel, with a display of house plant ideas, greenery and ceramics in similar tones.
6. Set up a serving nook
(Image credit: Future PLC/Dominic Blackmore)
Put a narrow dining room alcove to good use by slotting in a set of slimline shelves. Use short lengths of kitchen worktop or scaffolding planks, resting on simple wooden brackets fixed to the wall. Slot in a trolley underneath and fill shelves with tableware, serving kit and condiments to save a trek to the kitchen each time you need something.
7. Boost bedroom storage with neat built-ins
(Image credit: Future PLC/Dominic Blackmore)
Ease the pressure on wardrobe space by making use of alcoves for an extra bedroom storage idea.
Use a couple of Ikea Platsa freestanding cabinets (minus the feet) and repurpose as wall-hung storage - use hidden fixings inside to secure them to the walls. Kit out the interior, depending on what you want to store - add shelves for folded items or a short clothes rail to hang shirts and blouses.
8. Slot slimline shelves in at the end of a bath
(Image credit: Future PLC/Colin Poole)
Boxed-in pipework can leave awkward nooks for small bathroom ideas. Turn unused areas into a storage opportunity by adding narrow shelving and using the space to store soaps and toiletries. Paint shelves to match panelling or woodwork to give a bespoke, fully-fitted look.
9. Use picture ledges for a display area
(Image credit: Future PLC/Dominic Blackmore)
Find a use for shallow alcoves by creating a display area for artwork. Narrow picture ledges require minimal depth and are ideally sized for holding picture frames, postcards and small decorative items.
Match ledges to your wall colour so that they blend in and artwork stands out. Displays are easy to rearrange with an informal set-up like this, just slot in extra items like greetings cards, decorations and greenery as the seasons change.
10. Create an entertainment unit
(Image credit: Future PLC/ David Giles)
If you have a deep recess in your alcove, why not make the most of it by using it to house your TV and do away with a traditional entertainment unit? Just ensure the bottom shelf has enough height/width to accommodate your existing set, or consider investing in a new one that does. Or if you're looking for a ways to hide a tv you could add doors to conceal the TV, painting the doors the same colour as the surrounding alcove colour.
11. Create a cosy reading corner
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Simon Whitmore)
An alcove is a natural spot for a reading corner idea, a little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of a busy family home.
Add a chair, a table where you can rest a cup of tea or glass of wine, and shelves for books. Paint the walls a darker colour – and the shelves, too, so they don't distract – that will draw you in to this cosy sanctuary. Make sure there are cushions and throws so you can cuddle up.
12. Choose a classic treatment with built-in bookcases
(Image credit: Future PLC)
The go-to solution for living room alcoves is to fill them with built-in storage. It's a no-brainer if you live in a period property, although there are better solutions if you prefer a contemporary look.
In this smart grey living room the owners have coordinated the look by painting the chimney breast in the same colour as the furniture.
13. Build in a space-saving bed
(Image credit: Future PLC)
Attic spaces can be incredibly difficult to furnish – especially when you have to negotiate a sloping roof. But this attic bedroom idea proves that the task is far from impossible.
This deep alcove is the perfect spot for a bed, and the narrower nook within it has been filled with shelves.
Extra bedding can be stashed in the large drawer under the mattress, and a simple wall-mounted light negates the need for a bedside table. As examples of maximising space go, this room is up there with the very best.
14. Measure up for a dresser
(Image credit: Future PLC/ David Parmiter)
Building kitchen furniture around an alcove can be tricky. So why not make things easy for yourself and pop a dresser there instead. You might be lucky enough to find an off-the-peg design that fits perfectly into the gap. Failing that, you could contact a carpenter or bespoke kitchen company to build a made-to-measure piece for a smart kitchen storage idea.
15. Create a nook for bathroom essentials
(Image credit: Future PLC/ David Giles)
The reality is, a little bit of storage next to your WC can be extremely practical. A simple shelf makes the most of an awkward bathroom alcove or recess, providing a savvy bathroom storage idea.
Start with a basket or bucket of loo roll underneath so that you're never caught short – then a few accessories on the shelf above. This might be a good spot to store nappies, extra hand towels and wet wipes.
16. Indulge in your favourite pastime
(Image credit: Future PLC)
If you're taking the traditional route and building furniture into your alcove, why not turn it into a dedicated space for your favourite hobby? You could create a craft corner for knitting and sewing, or keep your record collection here. Add a turntable, a decent pair of headphones and a comfy chair, and you've got the perfect easy listening spot!
17. Move your bed into the alcove
(Image credit: Future PLC)
Make bedtime extra cosy by positioning your bed within an alcove. Painting the wall behind in a feature colour makes it appear almost as an extension of the headboard. Instantly, a simple divan becomes so much more with this thoughtful DIY headboard idea of sorts.
18. Be practical in a guest room
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Carolyn Barber)
Attic spaces are always a bit awkward, but you can turn these odd angles and alcoves created by boxed-in pipework to your advantage. Here, they make up a natural room divider between a cosy guest bed situated under the eaves and a handy bedroom basin and dressing area. Painting the alcoves in different colours enhances the zoned feeling still further.
19. Get creative with how you display within the space
(Image credit: Future PLC / Rachel Smith)
Don't leave your alcove walls empty - they're practically begging for statement artworks to be hung on them. Whether you create a personal gallery with multiple pictures, or go bold with a single piece that continues your colour scheme - as here - your living room will benefit. Add interesting diagonal shelves to further the artistic impact.
See, those alcoves do have a design benefit, beyond your standard storage solutions.
It's time to get creative and update your space... Question is, which room of the house are you going to tackle first?
20. Create a grown-up work space
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Davide Lovatti)
If you're building or renovating an extension, why not make space in the plans for a grown-up work area. This little nook takes up barely any space, features storage for books and files, and feels like a private space in an open-plan area. Subtle and chic - one of our favourite design combinations.
21. Take cupboards from floor to ceiling
(Image credit: Future PLC/ David Giles)
Take a leaf out of the book of early 20th-century houses, which often featured built-in bedroom storage like this. Floor-to-ceiling, flat-fronted wardrobes streamline the space, look crisp and clean and keep clutter hidden away. What more can you ask for?Becuaes you are working with a recessed alcove space the cupboards won't eat into the bedroom floor plan – because the space is already set back from the wall for better alignment.
22. Pop in a mini bar
(Image credit: Future PLC/ David Giles)
If you don't have space for a cellar, but do have a penchant for wine, why not make way for your bottles in the most sociable of spaces – the living room. The cabinet above has plenty of space for wine and glasses, and frees up precious space in the fridge and kitchen cupboards?
23. Make space for pampering
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Dominic Blackmore)
The combination of a bay window and a fireplace alcove needn't cause excess design difficulties. Work through it by creating a neat little beauty or work area like this, which benefits from the natural light filtering through the adjacent window.
A pale wood desk and metal tolix chair combine for a smart country-style feel, while a single large art print on the wall behind the desk enhances the sense of this being a separate space.
24. Camouflage awkward recesses with pattern
(Image credit: Future PLC/ David Giles)
Don't need extra storage, and want to pretend your alcoves don't actually exist? Use a wallpaper to camouflage them into a feature wall idea, with a fireplace at the centre of the scheme.
Retro prints like this one work well – busy enough to distract you from the different depths of the wall, it also matches the fireplace tiles, and almost seems to pull the walls forward. Oh, and don't go hanging pictures or shelving on it - this will just confuse things!
25. Opt for freestanding storage
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Dominic Blackmore)
Built-in alcove storage can look quite traditional in a period property, which is great if that's the look your after but if you want a more modern finish, freestanding storage might be a better fit for you (excuse the pun). That's not to mention it can be costly to have bespoke built-in storage, making freestanding a great budget solution.
Use smart paint choices to recede your shelving into an alcove recess - visually, if not physically. For instance, here the grey tones of the wooden shelving blend with the dove grey shade on the chimney breast, keeping the focus on the rest of the decor, as opposed to the stacks in the alcoves.
26. Turn a recess into a dressing area
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Colin Poole)
As good idea for little ladies as it is full-grown women, a dressing area will make picking outfits for the day ahead an organised and enjoyable occasion. Include a chair for 'dumping' in case you're indecisive over fashion choices, and full-length mirror for taking it all in.
27. Use the space for a shower
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Colin Poole)
Use a bathroom recess to your advantage and install a streamlined shower enclosure (in an ideal world, it's in addition to a beautiful freestanding bath!). Simple metro tiles and a classic glass shower screen make for a neat unit that adds to the overall feel in this luxurious bathroom.
28. Build in a seat
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Colin Poole)
In an old farmhouse kitchen, where the stove has been removed, turn a brick chimney into a casual seating area. This area is ideal for guests to sit and chat with you while you're cooking.
A wooden beach seat, a scattering of comfy cushions, and this dead space takes on a whole new lease of life.
What can you do with an alcove?
What you can do with an alcove depends on your needs and budget, also in which room you are looking to maximise an alcove. Using the awkward space for storage is one of the most obvious design solutions. If you have the budget, look to tailor the space to suit your exact requirements by seeking bespoke shelving or cupboards to use the space from floor to ceiling seamlessly. However there's still huge potential to use the space smarter and keep costs low, by putting up floating shelves yourself and choosing freestanding furniture to fill the space.

10 stylish looks for nooks or niches |

Living room alcove ideas make the very most of these handsome architectural features in both practical and aesthetic terms.
Alcoves are often found alongside the chimney, but they may be located elsewhere in the room and, while their dimensions vary, they all provide equal design opportunity. And this is the case even if they aren’t an original part of the room – they can be added to square and rectangular modern rooms to create character.
We’ve put together living room ideas that reveal the style and storage potential of alcoves, along with advice from the experts.
Living room alcove ideas
While appealing features in their own right, the elegance of alcoves can be enhanced with clever decorative strategies.
Meanwhile, they offer vast potential as part of small living room ideas as well as in larger spaces for storage and display – and even as separate zones. Be inspired by these living room alcove ideas.
1. Maximize storage and style with multiple alcoves
(Image credit: Kitesgrove)
Think big with living room alcove ideas. 'Alcoves are a practical and characterful way to add additional storage to a living room without taking up valuable floor space,' says Katie Lion, senior interior designer at Kitesgrove .
‘Incorporating recessed shelving into a living room adds depth to the space and a focal feature to introduce contrasting living room paint ideas or finishes to the room. This creates distinctive niches to display books, artwork and plants that can evolve over time.’
2. Frame a couch within a large alcove

A large alcove can be a valuable asset in designing a living room. 'The soft curves of alcoves can help to frame a space and make it feel more inviting,' says Paul Deckland, product manager at Cotswold Company .
‘A welcome step away from traditional doors, they offer a grander and more dramatic structural alternative for those seeking open plan living, whilst still giving a subtle nod to different zones.’
3. Go bespoke for an elegant finish

'Alcoves that flank living room fireplaces are almost always a good idea not least because they make the most out of what can often be an awkward, redundant space,' says Natascha Dartnall, managing director at ND Studios .
‘Finding freestanding furniture for these nooks can be a minefield. However, by choosing bespoke joinery for these spaces, you can ensure that they are made to be the perfect fit.’
4. Draw the eye to curvaceous alcoves

Smaller alcoves can still make a large impact as living room wall ideas. 'The curved top of these living room alcoves perfectly complements the shape of the ceiling in this grand space,' says Andrea Childs, editor, Country Homes & Interiors.
‘When designing a room do consider the architectural detailing that exists as you can enhance the feel by mimicking it in other areas. These alcoves are perfect for vases filled with lush foliage which help draw attention to their beautiful shape.’
5. Paint alcove shelves the same color as the walls
(Image credit: Gong)
Creating bookshelves in an alcove as part of living room layout ideas? 'If you're adding a bookcase to an alcove, paint the shelves the same color as the walls,‘ suggests Jennifer Ebert, digital editor, Homes & Gardens.
‘It will blend it into the decor and create a more modern look. Let the pieces you place on it add the color and texture instead, and keep your displays simple so you can see the wall color behind.’
6. New build without alcoves? Create your own
(Image credit: Lindye Galloway Studio + Shop/Chad Mellon)
Consider living room alcove ideas for rooms without any. 'It would be very rare not to have at least several alcoves in an older property, but a newer home may not have any,' says Andrea Childs, editor, Country Homes & Interiors.
The solution? ‘Create your own – with the help of a carpenter,’ she says. ‘This design creates a feature as well as extra living room storage.’
7. Add a home office in an alcove
(Image credit: Kitesgrove )
Consider fitting a desk in an alcove as one of your living room corner ideas. 'Whatever the size of a living room alcove it has the potential to create a mini office space,' says Melanie Griffiths, editor, Period Living.
‘With more of us working from home these alcoves have become a life saver. Small and intimate, they're a fabulous option for an office. Hang some shelves above and away you go.’
8. Blend in freestanding pieces
(Image credit: Neptune )
Often living room alcove ideas feature custom furniture, but you can use freestanding pieces instead. If so, how to make the furniture part of the alcove?
‘Paint it the same color as the wall,’ advises Melanie Griffiths. Bear in mind, though, that the interior of the piece doesn’t have to be the same shade.
‘Here, a chocolate brown interior adds depth and helps the books and ornaments stand out as a display – and the hue is a great choice as a cozy living room idea,’ she says.
9. Make a feature of an alcove
(Image credit: Lindye Galloway Studio + Shop/Chad Mellon)
'We adore this living room alcove idea by interior designer Lindye Galloway with a curved top, deep shelves and, of course, its on-trend industrial-style doors,’ says Lucy Searle, global editor in chief of Homes & Gardens. ‘This clever touch turns it into a display feature with the black accent following through into the rest of scheme.'
10. Highlight an alcove with a mirror
(Image credit: Brent Darby/Future PLC)
Living room mirror ideas can include alcoves as well as over the fireplace and other locations.
'In a smaller living room, you can make the most of an alcove by utilizing the space for storage with shelves and a cupboard underneath,' says Jennifer Ebert.
‘But consider also fitting mirror glass behind open shelves. This will bounce the light around the room, create the illusion of space and turn the alcove into even more of a feature.’
What can I do with the alcoves in my living room?
There are a whole host of things you can do with alcoves in a living room. They can provide space to store either behind closed doors with a custom cupboard or on open shelving as well as a place for display of decorative accessories or houseplants.
They can provide a niche for furniture such as an armchair – or even a couch if the alcove is sizeable. Or, use an alcove to make space for a home office with a desk and shelving, or as a nook for a chic bar cart.
Should a living room alcove be painted lighter or darker?
An alcove can be painted lighter or darker, depending on the effect you want to create. Painting an alcove in a lighter shade visually reduces its depth and is a more classic approach. Paint it darker and it will recede and make for a more dramatic feature.

There are many uses for an alcove. It all depends on your imagination and the size of the niche. For example, if you have a large one-room apartment with an alcove, the interior can be designed as follows: arrange a sleeping area in a niche and fence it off with a curtain or partition.

Another design option for a one-room apartment with a niche is to make a children's area in it. You can put a crib there and close it from everyone with a partition, or make a small playroom where children's toys will be stored.

Alcove design and decoration
There are two common niche design options that designers usually resort to. The first option is to fit the niche design into the overall interior of the room. In this case, designers select the same colors and finishes as throughout the room.
Usually, small niches are designed in this way, in which shelves or a rack can be made. nine0003

The second option is to design it in a different style. For example, you can paint the walls of an alcove a color that is brighter than the decor of the room. In this case, a bright spot will create an interesting accent. The main thing is to choose a color that matches the palette of the room.

You can create an alcove yourself and make a small isolated niche. Many designers like to make it next to the window and create a cozy sleeping place in it. If you decide on such a design, try to hang blackout curtains or roller blinds on the windows. Bright light can wake you up in the morning. nine0003

Bathroom
Oddly enough, in large apartments there is an alcove in the bathroom. Here you can place the bath itself and equip functional shelves or cabinets on the sides of it.

Wardrobe
Not everyone likes open storage and shelving, so an entire wardrobe can be built into a niche.

Workplace
It will be nice to work in a cozy corner: put a table for a computer in a small niche, and decorate the upper part of the alcove with shelves for books and stationery.

Dressing room
A dressing room can be arranged in the niche of a one-room apartment. The main part of the room will become more spacious, as all things will be stored in an alcove.

Dining room
Sometimes a large niche in the apartment is located in the kitchen. Arrange a dining area there: put a table and a sofa, hang a lamp above them. Family lunches and dinners will become more comfortable. nine0003

Animal enclosure
Many people make a partition between the kitchen and the room to sometimes lock the pet in the kitchen.
But if you have a free niche, you can arrange a comfortable place for him in it.

11 new ideas for using an alcove in the interior
An alcove is a niche in a wall that is fenced off from the rest of the room by draperies, columns or arches. We tell you how you can use this space wisely. nine0003
1 Sleeping place
If a bed (fully or partially) fits in the niche, a sleeping place can be arranged here.
Instagram @dorotheemeilichzon
This technique looks original and unhackneyed. In addition, it gives the atmosphere an actual oriental touch. And, of course, the alcove provides excellent zoning.
2 Mini Laundry Room
A niche in the hallway, kitchen, corridor or bathroom can serve as a place for arranging a mini laundry room. nine0003
Instagram @justinablakeney
Such a homely household corner will make it easier to put clothes and textiles in order.
And at the same time it will be aesthetically located and hidden from view in an alcove. If desired, you can complement the niche with drapery or doors.
3 Bench
The alcove can accommodate a bench.
Instagram @dorotheemeilichzon
This is true for a niche in the hallway or corridor, as well as for an alcove in the dining room. Bonus: additional intimacy of the functional area. nine0003
4 Open shelves
The best solution for narrow and shallow alcoves - open shelves.
Instagram @linsdrabwellhome
They can form a single storage system. And they can become a place for placing decorative expositions. In the same way, you can organize a home library.
5 Stairway to nowhere
Look at this unusual design trick. nine0003
Instagram @alcovebookcafe
By arranging a staircase to nowhere in the alcove, the designers got an original and very compact seating area.
The idea, by the way, is also suitable for the design of a children's room.
6 Miniature lounge area
Alcove seating area? Why not!
Instagram @dorotheemeilichzon
The niches in the walls seem to be specially created to organize mini-zones for relaxation and reading. Take a look at how cozy and stylish this reception looks. nine0003
7 Combined storage system
In addition to placing open shelves, the niche can also be used as a combined storage system.
Instagram @oliverhazaelcarpentry
The combination of open and closed shelves makes storage more flexible and functional. By the way, such a solution would be appropriate in any room, from the kitchen to the bathroom.
8 Dressing room
If the size of the niche allows, you can arrange a dressing room here.
Instagram @mikaperry
The idea is most suitable for alcoves in children's rooms.
But if your wardrobe is not so large in volume, you can take note for arranging an adult dressing room.
9 Bathtub in a recess
An alcove in a bathroom can be used as a place for a bathtub.
Instagram @buro9
nine0002 Look, basking in the foam in such a cozy corner is a pleasure. In addition, the issue of dividing the bathroom into functional parts will be effectively resolved.10 Mini Home Office
Compact mini home office fits perfectly in a niche.
Instagram @bronwen.name
This will solve the issue with workplace zoning. And if you add a curtain to the niche, you can hide the "work mess" with a flick of the wrist. nine0003
11 TV zone
TV zone can also be placed in the alcove.
Instagram @indiattaylor
The idea will especially appeal to those who are worried that a “black screen” can spoil the design, because in a niche the TV will be much less conspicuous.
