Niches in the interior: the proper use of

What is not good, perhaps, every studio apartment, so this lack of personal space. On the small but lovely bedroom has a dream. We can assume that the owners' sesquioxide "apartments were lucky: the niche may turn into a charming retreat for rest and sleep, which is separated from the rest of the room.

However, in order to maintain the appearance of additional space, it is not necessary to separate the niche walls. The most we can afford - is a ledge with one large or several small windows. Indeed, in this intimate part of the apartment must penetrate the sunlight! And in the room is important to maintain a sense of lightness and spaciousness.
Much more convenient to use a mobile version of the partition, such as collapsible screen. Or better - a "wall", folding like an accordion and leaving the pier.
When folded, it does not violate the integrity of the room and the room looks bigger. But should it expand - and before you a single room! One member of the family can relax in the bedroom, while another is working or watching TV. Of course, the issue of soundproofing a wall will not solve, but the lives of several people in one room will be much easier. By the way, another option (among other things, the most simple in execution) - heavy curtains, which absorb sound well and good to protect a rest from glare.
As the bed is better to choose a sofa. Cozy corner to sleep in seconds turn into a mini-living room. Successful addition to the sofa will be a coffee table on wheels (it can also act as a night stand). With this approach, laid out a bed can take all the niche, and it would not be a problem - at any moment can turn it into a zone for receiving guests.
Privacy and some isolation from the outside world needs a man not only during rest and during working hours. Therefore often placed in a niche computer desk and a small library in one or two bookcases. Divide the total area and "cabinet" can easily shelves that will not interfere with natural light.
By contrast the computer screen can put a small sofa that film fans can enjoy watching the new DVD in a cozy atmosphere. Recently, a computer (especially with a large LCD monitor) is increasingly replacing TV. Therefore, the "computer-related" space needed to equip not only for work but also for the pleasant moments of leisure. Bookcase better place along the farthest from the window wall. A computer desk positioned so that at any time of day shone not monitor, that is sideways to the window.
Separately, you should take care of the publicity. Chandelier over the whole area, the lamp at the computer and the wall above the sofa or chairs - this is the minimum program, which will turn a dark corner of a room suitable for work. In general, the lighting - it is a separate issue for the niche. As a rule, it is located in the farthest corner of the window. Accordingly, the semi-darkness, helps to relax and completely inappropriate in the workplace, may prevail in it even during the day. Therefore, those who work from home are not occasional, but always makes sense to organize the workplace more illuminated side of the room, removing the niche role of the living room or bedroom.
If you decide to make it an office, obstavte room so that it was bright and happy. Cheerfulness and optimism - best friends working! You can decorate the room with bright paintings on the walls or living flowering plants. Great vacation for the eyes, so necessary when working at the computer, ensure the aquarium. By the way, he can play the role of the partition separating the working and "common" area. In this case, both the walls should be left transparent, not pasting them picturesque, but hardly transmits light decorative film. If you are the owner of not only "sesquioxide" apartments, but also an interesting collection, better place than the niche-room, for it is not found.
What else can be placed in a niche? By and large, anything! For example, a dining room, if your house a small kitchen. Imagine that you - well-known designer who was asked to create the interior of a small restaurant, and boldly embody ideas in a small area of ​​his "room to room." And it would be: Japan and retro with cushions on wooden benches, solid leather sofas or frivolous rattan chair - you decide.
We recall only the guests: Make sure that at any moment could pristavit a couple of extra chairs for coming to the tea family and friends. Or maybe, and did put in a niche so popular today, the bar? Whatever was your choice, do not forget how to work on the design of the walls. This is the case, when the avant-garde and expression are welcome! And again, the lighting - it needs to consider no less carefully.
Apartment with a niche - the perfect material for a more radical redesign. For example, separating the niche of the total rooms, you can define it under a kitchenette with electric stove. Then the old kitchen is transformed into the second grade room. And in order to place on the newly made for cooking was not too crowded, one of the walls (between the recess and the corridor) can demolish or make it a wide arched doorway.
If "-half" apartment belongs to the young fashionistas, the niche can become a dressing room. Especially her decorate the mirror an entire wall: the hostess can see myself in all its glory, and the room becomes more visually.
Whatever role or playing a niche in your life, it necessarily will be the most comfortable place in the house. After all, it seems specifically designed to implement the boldest and most unexpected design ideas. And what is especially nice, all aimed at trying to make your life more colorful, beautiful and comfortable.
