Niche is not always a planned kitchen element. Sometimes the configuration of the room provides for protruding structures or ventilation mines from the walls, and the niches in the not most convenient place are getting "in the appendage". Turn this disadvantage in the advantage by using the deepening in the wall with benefits: For example, placing a stylish container for collecting garbage.
