Alcoves can really make or break a room. If not used correctly, alcoves can be a waste of space and make a room look and feel unattractive.
On the other hand, when used properly alcoves can become a focal point of a room and enhance a room’s character, particularly when used correctly in conjunction with modern furniture.
Alcoves need to blend into a room. They make ideal architectural features and the lighting should be appropriate for the items stored in them. Alcoves don’t have to be limited to housing just a few shelves that quickly become covered in dust.
Have a look round our site for a few contemporary ideas. If you are looking for the sleek, minimalist look of modern furniture design, our slide open drawer shelves are ideal for shutting away all of the clutter. You could also have a combination of cupboards and shelves with some low level lighting for an atmospheric feel. Alternatively, you could go for the clean, simple lines of one or two select shelves.
Alcoves don’t have to ruin the contemporary feel you’re looking for.
