14. Recessed Niche Wall Shelving
If you are planning a kitchen remodel, building a custom recessed niche directly into the drywall or tiled backsplash behind your stove is the ultimate luxury upgrade. This built-in alcove keeps your essential cooking oils and daily spices perfectly flush with the wall, completely out of the way of prep areas but exactly where you need them when standing over a hot pan. Frame the niche with beautiful marble, contrasting tile, or natural wood to make it a stunning architectural feature.
