Niche in the kitchen wall
Most often, niches in the kitchen serve as shelves. Another purpose is to hide the refrigerator, TV or household appliances deep into the wall, thus protecting them from the effects of moisture. Gypsum board construction can serve as a frame for sanitary ware and furniture, as well as a decorative stand or bar counter.

The niche in the wall depends on the style of the room. The same groove, decorated with different materials, will look different. In addition to lighting and color in the design of the niche, use other materials. A unique design can be created with the help of metal, glass, wood or decorative stone. They are used independently or combined with each other, depending on the purpose of the rooms.
The material for creating niches is usually gypsum board, but sometimes concrete or brick. Creating a niche in a brick wall takes much more time than constructing a false construction, especially when it comes to bearing walls.
