Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for a good idea on how to best design our niche next to the fireplace. The niche goes from the very bottom up to under the ceiling and is supposed to serve as a wood storage area in the lower part up to about 1.50 meters. 33 cm logs fit quite exactly in there. Above that, I would like to install 2 or 3 shelves, but only for decorative items.

I would like to line the lower area with something that can withstand the wood-in, wood-out routine relatively unscathed over time. I do find plenty of pictures on Google, but especially regarding the choice of material, none of it has really helped me so far.

I am also uncertain about the shelves. Frosted glass somehow feels very nineties. As an alternative, I still have leftover pieces of a 35mm acacia board, from which I would cut something out if I have no other ideas. Oiled, it goes quite well with the parquet.

Currently, all three sides of the niche are completely plastered. The plaster would remain underneath. Maybe you have an idea...

Best regards,
Markus

That fits perfectly with the Expedit in the office next door! I hadn’t thought of steel sheet metal yet, that would actually be an option. Any more ideas?

Tiles would also work. They come in all colors and sizes. There are suitable profiles for the front edge.

No, I somehow find tiles unsympathetic there.... Of course, they would be durable and reasonably inexpensive. I think I even still have a profile from the bathroom.

No... tiles only as a last resort.

Edges in the color of the floor I find nice [emoji2] For the wood compartment, I would paint the plaster inside with white cellar paint or something like that, so that the area can be cleaned if necessary. Such floor paint or something similar
