What to Do With Alcoves in Your Home (6 Decor Tips)

There's no doubt that alcoves can be a beautiful and versatile addition to any home.

But what do you do with them? How can you make the most of this unique space?

Here are six tips to help get you started.

Bench area

Alcoves are often overlooked spaces in the home, but they can be transformed into cosy nooks with a little bit of creativity.

One way to do this is by adding a bench. Benches are versatile pieces of furniture that can be used for extra seating, storage, or simply as a decorative accent.

When choosing a bench for your alcove, it's important to consider both function and style.

For example, if you're looking for extra storage, you might want to choose a blanket box bench.

Or, if you want to create a more relaxing space, you might opt for a bench with a soft cushion.

Use it as an office space

One great way to use an alcove is for a home office workspace. By placing a desk in the alcove, you can create a private and quiet space to work.

Additionally, the alcove can provide valuable storage space for office supplies and files.

If you don't have an actual room that you can dedicate to a home office, an alcove is a great alternative.

With a little bit of creativity, you can turn any alcove into a functional and stylish workspace.


Tuck away an accent chair

One great way to make use of alcoves is to place an accent chair in them.

This can create a cosy reading space that is perfect for curling up with a good book.

Not only does this make use of otherwise empty space, but it also adds a pop of colour or visual interest to the room.


Add bookshelves

Alcoves are often wasted spaces in homes, but they offer the perfect opportunity to add a stylish bookshelf.

Bookshelves not only provide a place to store books, but they can also be used to display pictures and ornaments.
