We love discovering new ways of adding design to our home and recently came across wall niches. Wall niche are great ways to decorate a plain-looking wall, adding pictures, photos, art pieces, and my favourite – miniature models (Cars, Airplanes, Toys ..). You can install/build wall niches on any interior wall of your home.

This was an easy DIY build as we had all of the right tools and materials. Please continue reading to see how we built our first wall niche on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

3) 1 in. x 4 in. x 8 ft. MDF Moulding Board (See HomeDepot Link)

4) Other basic woodworking tools like Saw, Screwdriver, Drill, Paintbrush, etc.

Step 1: Decide Location 

This step goes easier if you have the pre-drywall pictures of your home. Yes a studfinder can help with finding the stud locations but not the electrical wires or other things hidden behind the drywall.

We had the pre-drywall pictures of our house and this made it easier for us to finalise the location.
