The presented interior showcases an excellent example of functional and aesthetically pleasing use of a niche in a country house. This built-in seating area creates a cozy space designed in a fresh, cheerful color palette. The vertical blue paneling on the back wall of the niche not only creates depth but also references traditional American coastal style techniques, adding a note of casual elegance to the interior.
The bench with pull-out drawers is a prime example of multifunctional design thinking in country house architecture, where each element has practical value. The cushion with a blue zigzag pattern and decorative pillows with geometric ornaments in green and blue tones create a thoughtful color solution that harmonizes with the overall palette of the space.
A particularly interesting element is the wallpaper featuring stylized surfboards or boats on both sides of the niche, which emphasizes the coastal theme and creates a visual context for the entire space. This detail perfectly demonstrates how thematic wallpaper can become an accent element that sets the character for the entire room.
The hooks for bags are a practical addition that transforms this area into a functional storage space. Two fabric bags – green with a graphic print and pink with a floral pattern – add bright color accents and demonstrate a thoughtful approach to space organization.
The white cabinets above the niche provide additional storage space, visually unifying the structure with the rest of the house interior. This technique can be easily adapted for any country house where there is a need for maximally efficient use of space without compromising aesthetics.
