Any niche or near-niche in my house is going to be a bookcase!  Pronto!

I don't care for them.  Large lights take up most of them leaving options only for small nondescript items.  Also to matchy matchy for me.

I like the idea of decorating the areas .  There are so many things you could put in the niches and you can change your decor if you wan especially around holidays.

I typically love niches, but I guess I am used to seeing them with arched tops on staircase landings, rather than fully rectangular shapes. I would like the niches in your picture much better if they didn't have those strange light fixtures hanging inside them, but instead had a few more shelves for books or other objets d'art. I would also like the niches to have rounded tops like the arch over the entranceway to the room has.

I like the idea of the niches, but other than that, I don't care for the room.

I mean they matched the decor. It's just too staged for me.

You know where else I love niches? On the shower wall. We flip houses and that´s what buyers love. They are wide enough and tall enought to put a few bottles of body wash and shampoo. They are also decorated with decorative tiles and really make the bathroom look beautiful.

I LOVE the niches and have them on each side of my fireplace. I also have the tone on tone ...  I'm not tied in to any particular color and can add color if I want to.  I like the peaceful feel of the neutral palette yet can decorate seasonally and however I want to.  Right now I have cathedral window frames with lambs ear wreaths on each ...
