Decorating Niches

I see a lot of "what do I do with these built in niche?" posts, and I came across this photo.

Do you like the way the niches have been decorated?

May be an image of sofa and living room

@lolakimono I do like them! Very much!

Honestly, no. I would have added some greenery (like an ivy plant in a pot with a mini trellis and it cascading down below the shelf/flat surface)...COLOR! I appreciate that there is no stark white, but the lack of color in the room, for me, leaves much to be desired.

There is greenery to the left, FYI.

@lolakimono I saw that tree...

I was focused on the 2 smaller niches.

I should have said 'more greenery'. In that room, just having that tree is pretty sparse. I'd feel like I was in a desert...LOL

I think they are nicely done.

I like it. My sister´s family room has the Niches but there are more shelves. The fire place is in the middle and there is space on top for a TV. She has three children and has all their trophies and awards on the shelves. Looks great and well organized.

One thing I don´t like is anything cascading anywhere. People do this with plants, but it´s not my thing. I sometimes think that there are bugs hiding in the cascading plants.

No, but nothing else in the room appeals to me either.

Yes, they've done a nice job. They can't do much height because the lights are so low. I've always wanted a niche I could decorate. They use a lot of arched ones in Southwest style homes.
