What is an "alcove"?
An alcove is a small, recessed space or nook within a room, often set off from the main area. It can be created by a wall or structure, and is commonly used for decorative purposes, furniture, or additional storage. Alcoves can be found in various places, such as living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways, providing a cozy or functional space within a larger room. They may also be used to house things like bookshelves, seating, or small works of art.
