Niche in the interior, photo

The most standard placement option for this type of equipment is a special cabinet or standard wall mount. Less commonly, there is an opening in the cabinet, since often the cabinet sections do not correspond to the dimensions of the TV.

The most modern way, which, by the way, is able to create a certain stylistic orientation of the room is a niche for a TV.

The advantages of this design are as follows:

• Inexpensive performance.
• It is easy to manufacture and assemble even with your own efforts.
• A carefully thought-out design can create a certain atmosphere and style of the room.
• Using a niche, you can remove all the wires, which will positively affect the aesthetics of the appearance of the room.

To make this type of construction you will need:

• Drywall sheets. They can be either a standard rectangular shape, or arched - depending on what kind of construction will be created.
• Profile. If the design is linear, then choose aluminum, for mounting to the walls and ceiling. For arched structures, a flexible profile is used. A wooden base structure is also possible, which will require special battens.
• The expansion bolt shield and self-tapping screws, by means of them fastening is carried out.
• For the treatment of seams - serpyanka tape.
• Decoration Materials.
• Level - it is better to take a laser, since the slightest inaccuracy and deviation from verticality and horizontalness will be noticeable on the finished product.
• Puncher for drilling holes in the wall of the room.
• Screwdriver or screwdriver.
• Knife, in order to cut drywall dista.
• Scissors or hacksaw for aluminum profiles.
• Spatulas and rollers. They will be needed at the final stage for finishing the finished structure.

Often, additional lockers and shelves are carried out together with a TV niche - this will create a single harmonious ensemble. Therefore, it is worth immediately thinking over the full appearance of a possible design so that you do not have to finish and remodel later. To do this, create a color sketch that will fully show the structure with all the elements that it is planned to place in it.

Niche in the bedroom and living room

If you run a niche for a TV in the living room, then you should not limit yourself to just a place for a TV. It is advisable to beat the space around. It can be shelves for decorative accessories, additional equipment, such as a DVD player, karaoke, etc. ATTENTION: if bookshelves are planned, they will require additional rigidity. This will prevent plasterboard bending under the weight of the books.

For the bedroom, do not create too bulky designs. Otherwise, it will be able to drown out the rest of the space, drawing attention to itself.

Which form to choose?

For the living room, you can choose the following layout options for a TV niche:

• Make a niche and shelves under it.
• Run an entire wall, in which in addition to installing a TV, provide shelves along the entire surface of the wall. Perform them better in different lengths and heights.
• You can perform a recess under the TV under the false fireplace.

This design is well suited for most style decisions of the room. This can be a classic, modern, high-tech, loft, country.

For the bedroom, the design should be more relaxed. Do not perform it multicomponent. It is advisable to limit itself to several shelves or, if the style and space of the room allows, then a place for a decorative fireplace.

In order to create a correct and visually harmonious space from drywall, you need to draw it on paper. The sketch is better done in color, this will help to better understand the final result.

IMPORTANT: When planning the space around, it is worth considering that nevertheless it is the TV that should occupy a central place in the composition.

To do this, catchy accents and large open shelves should be avoided. Otherwise, the abundance of elements on them will create a sense of chaos. If the shelves must be made large, it is better to close them with doors.

Rectangular shapes of niches are a classic option that can easily fit into any space without distorting it and not dissoning with it.

Curved shapes of niches - also look spectacular, but require more skill in their implementation. They can be recommended only where their curvilinearity will intersect with the same kind of structures in the room.

Convex constructions also exist. Their manufacture is allowed only in large rooms. Otherwise, they, taking part of the space, will put too much pressure on the person.

You can perform a curved shape of a niche in the form of a strip that starts from the floor, runs vertically along the wall, and makes a smooth bend that goes to the ceiling. In the ceiling part of the structure, you can make lighting points. While on the wall they hang a TV.

Niche Finish

As soon as the design of the niche is completed, the question arises - how to finish it? There are several options:

• Wallpapering.
• Painting.
• Glass decoration.
• Using backlight.

Wallpaper can be used both over the entire surface and in a limited area.

Painting is the simplest option that does not require special efforts or skills.

Glass, as a rule, decorates the surface of the shelves. In addition to the aesthetic function, this material also has a functional purpose. It protects the surface of drywall from the effects of possible moisture, eg = example, if a vase or a flower pot is placed on a shelf.

Backlighting is the most difficult design option. It is important to consider a lot of factors, such as:

• The source of the creation of light.
• Light color - it should be harmoniously combined with both the surrounding space and not drown in its brightness of the main and additional lighting and the TV screen.
• The direction of light flow. At the design stage, decide whether it will be unidirectional or diverge in all directions.

To make the design of a niche for a TV, you should follow a certain sequence.

• Initially, you need to create a drawing.
• Then, according to him, perform the installation of the frame structure.
• Using the sheets of drywall of the right size, the internal parts of the niche are sewn.
• If there is a backlight in the project, make wiring for it.
• Then they put lighting devices.
• They put the TV at the right point, while simultaneously connecting the wires. All necessary communications are brought to the device.
• Only then the outer surface of the niche is sutured using sheets of drywall.
• At the finishing stage, all cosmetic operations are done, such as puttying, pasting, painting.
