nooks and niches.

we’ve all got these odd little nooks and niches around the house that we’re not always sure what to do with. a funny little hallway, or a recessed built-in from an era when phones still attached to our walls. i happen to love decorating these little spots. creating a sweet little vignette of collectibles, adding a vintage chair with perhaps a few books stacked up nicely, or adding a bit of artwork and creating a mini gallery. here’s a few grand examples of what to do with the awkward nooks and crannies.

habitat; Sköna hem; susie cusher, (via a little sussy); and Sköna hem.




the society inc.; bright bazaar; fondly seen; and Sköna hem.







































There is something here, this dusty-bright coves, and kitchen caves, that set me straight into carving out one just for me, in my own home.
Cheers!
I have a nook in my new house that I haven’t been able to find something that “fits” there yet. Thanks for sharing these inspirational pics!
Thanks for linking up, Victoria! I also love to decorate these small nooks – finding quirky or interesting objects to style the spaces.
my to do list just got a little bit longer
It seems I’m going to be quite busy on Pinterest — so many gorgeous photos you’ve given us to swoon over. The lilacs are my favorite, but I adore that antique couch. Pieces like that are so rare and special and the fabrics on it are wonderfully interesting.
I love the purple wooden wall! Or just any wooden wall in general, I think i have to have it! Thanks for posting this, it’s not only pretty , but really really useful!
I love all of these! Truly inspiring design. This is by far one of my favourite websites to follow…

Nooks are my favorite place to dress up. I love the idea of little nesty spaces, and these photos are so inspirational!
I absolutely love your blog, it is just a pure visual treat. thanks.
great inspiration, I need some of those socks below, almost can’t wait for winter.
makes my heart go pitter patter!!
I love the room with the globe and the desk, as well as the nook/cranny with the couch in it. That stark white look with different splashes of color is so great.
