What is a "niche"?
A niche is a recessed area or alcove in a wall, often used for decorative purposes or to display objects such as sculptures, plants, or lighting fixtures. Niches can vary in size and shape and are commonly found in both interior and exterior architecture. They add visual interest to a space by breaking up the flat surface of a wall and providing a dedicated spot for items that enhance the overall design. Niches can also be functional, providing storage or serving as a small shelf, making them versatile elements in architectural design.
