On what to put in this wall niche pic attached. This is the same one taken in the display home I Don't mind the scone they have used but not totally convinced. Pics would be much appreciated and advise on where to Buy. Our other Niche pic below. Thanks Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: What to put in wall niche 2Dec 03, 2012 9:06 pm Wire art like above would look good, as would a large family photo canvas, or scattered framed family pics. We have a niche in our entry but it is on the corner and is really a display shelf, I got a PowerPoint placed in it so I could place a lamp and some family pics in frames. The display home has a large vase with flowers in it. Built a Hawthorne 31 with EB nessjeffdreamhouse.blogspot.com.au Building an investment now with New Living homes... We are at nearly finished...

Re: What to put in wall niche 3Dec 03, 2012 9:17 pm Hey ODH, I have been thinking about what we will put in our niche also, I want something unusual and a bit of a wow... I guess I will know it when I see it. I love all the niches in the Hartley. Gota decide what to put in the bedroom one also. Re: What to put in wall niche 4Dec 03, 2012 10:23 pm Hi there, we put this gorgeous mirror in our entry niche...brought from a small home decor store in Fountain Gate, Vic http://i1071.photobucket.com/albums/u509/kjw7/2E0234DF-FF70-44F6-A133-39DFE2ADD946-3069-000005177C7D1B0F_zps489550e0.jpg Kayla Re: What to put in wall niche 5Dec 04, 2012 7:25 am Thanks heaps everyone! I like the idea of scattered pics, would love to put some lighting in it but forgot to add some in plans like down lights or something. Kjw7 really like that mirror as well, I have another niche pic below (bedroom wall where bed goes) does anyone think an interesting mirror would look ok in here?? I actually saw a pretty white mirror with scolloped edges (rectangle) thought I might look ok over the bed niche as I have a chandalier that will reflect of it also ????? just not sure..

I was originally going to get some more holiday pictures printed on canvas to fit, but DH decided he wanted something like the wood carving in Cam and Mitch's house of Modern Family lol. So when we were in Thailand we bought two matching carvings similar to these: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I am not into Asian-themed houses but DH desparately wanted them, and since I've decided pretty much everything else I thought I should let him have something How long would the mirror be in the bedroom niche? I think it would look a little funny if it didn't take up a fair bit of it, you'd need something else on either end too? If you know what I mean? 1st build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59376 *New*-2nd build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70324&p=1154282#p1154282 Re: What to put in wall niche 7Dec 04, 2012 10:57 am Yeah I agree I looked again at the mirror this morning but it won't fit in that space properly maybe I will still buy it and put it somewhere else I was thinking of maybe going to a local market might be able to pick something up there? I like the wooden effect nice and different idea anyone has more pics to share that would be much appreciated. Re: What to put in wall niche 9Dec 10, 2012 5:26 pm munta The Niche is cliche, I suggest you put bricks, mortar and plaster in it No thanks! Cliche!!! So are decks, freestanding baths, pendants, splashbacks.. But people INCLUDING myself still like them.... hence why they STILL build houses WITH niches...... it was part of the plan and we WANTED to leave it in.. Re: What to put in wall niche 10Dec 10, 2012 7:27 pm I like Niches , you can put in them whatever you want. I have three in the gallery as you walk thru into the house proper.

Problem solved Thanks home angels I was thinking a mirror of some sort just can't find one that will fit and looks interesting yet.. If you can't find a suitable potato chip dispenser and decide to look into mirrors, I've seen nice bevelled edge mirrors at places like Freedom Furniture. Even eBay has some nice mirrors.

Hoping to buy a hall stand for our enterance it's also longer then I thought lol.. Thanks for the mirror sites HA , will have a look and see what I can find Re: What to put in wall niche 17Dec 11, 2012 1:45 pm [/quote] .... hence why they STILL build houses WITH niches...... [/quote] hence why the are STILL cliche, and yes I agree those other's are clique too. Except the splashbacks, that's like say doors and walls are cliche Re: What to put in wall niche 19Dec 11, 2012 2:34 pm Doors and walls are so cliche maybe I can replace them with a giant niche. Thanks for your help everyone think I will go with the mirror Re: What to put in wall niche 20Dec 11, 2012 4:36 pm I will never understand why people that don't have anything helpful to say cant just move onto the next thread and not post anything. Why bother taking the time to write an entire post if its completely negative. I think a mirror will look nice and really open the room up, good choice Kayla 0 1547 Thank you again Simeon..
