The recess is decorated with columns and stucco in the same styles as with the baguette - historical, classical, imperial... The wall looks rich and pretentious, emphasizing the status of the owner of the room.

The visual perception of the entire structure depends on the parameters and shape of the niche. In most cases, the deepening is made for a specific plasma. But sometimes, according to the designer's idea, a rather large niche is created. She participates in the decoration of the entire wall. When mounting a recess under a home TV, remember that its dimensions must exceed the parameters of the built-in equipment by at least 10 cm.

To fulfill a niche, different types of materials can be involved. The final finish can be made of plaster in the form of stucco molding, as well as resort to the help of moldings and baguettes. The most common materials for creating a decorative depression are as follows.

• Laminate. It is used in interiors where wood is required for style purposes. Laminate flooring allows you to reduce the cost of the project without disrupting the overall design of the room.

Details of the future structure are cut from the sheet with the help of a construction knife. With the help of self-tapping screws and dowels, drywall elements are applied to the profile and fixed. After finishing work, the structure can be decorated with decorative corners that match the tone of the finish. This will give the niche a neat and crisp line.
