Fit out an office area in an alcove © Castorama
It is a small area that can be very useful. A recess in the wall, an alcove or a recess, can be arranged in a clever way. Here are 12 great ideas for using those precious square meters.
Because a room is not always perfectly square or rectangular, it is sometimes difficult to furnish or arrange it without wasting space. What to do, for example, with an alcove or a recess? If they are generally transformed into a bookcase with the help of shelving, it is also possible to use this precious volume in other ways.
Depending on the available space, a recess at the wall can indeed accommodate a small kitchen, house a laundry area or be converted into a dressing room. A studio, where the smallest centimeter counts, can thus be perfectly optimized thanks to these cleverly arranged corners. A living room can also change its face and gain in character thanks to a subtly revamped alcove. In a bedroom or hallway, this surface can be transformed into a storage room which advantageously replaces a cabinet, and thus free up space for other arrangements.
To fill up on ideas, here are 12 clever solutions that perfectly illustrate how to transform an alcove into a useful and functional surface!
