When arranging an apartment, everyone wants to get an exclusive version of the interior of the hall as a result of the repair. However, after installing the furniture, it turns out that the room usually looks banal, "like everyone else." Of course, you can try to install the furniture differently, but anyway, the output is a typical, standardly furnished room. A good way out can be the independent creation of shelves and niches from drywall in the living room. This material has long been used in the design of the internal space. He is malleable, easily suitable for the erection of various designs and can successfully replace massive frame furniture.
Convenience of building drywall niches in living rooms
Living space in apartment buildings built in the second half of the twentieth century and in many modern municipal high-rise buildings so small that the residents are worried about every extra centimeter given to the frame walls in the hall fastenings. To some extent, this loss can be compensated by making niches from drywall in the living room. Thus, several positive results can be achieved at once:
- Reduce the amount of lost area, as shelves can be made in between the structural elements.
- Personalize the room, make its design special.
- Save a large amount of money on ordering furniture for a personal project.
Recesses in the walls, or niches, began to be used by people from biblical times. Despite the elapsed time, they still have not lost their relevance. Due to the plasticity of drywall, they can be given any shape and make designs of different sizes. In the living room a niche can be used:
- as a stand for a large-sized TV;
- as a frame for the sofa, while it is possible to mount a backlight or diode strip into it, which will make it possible to use additional lighting in the room.

Plasterboard shelves and their advantages
For the decoration of the room, shelves are often made along with niches. Usually they are designed in the general style of the room and therefore harmoniously fit into its interior, which is difficult to achieve from purchased pieces of furniture.
