Recessed Niche: A Circular Hole Carved into the Wall

A niche dug into the wall. The shape is an arch with a semicircular top or a rectangle with all four corners rounded, with a depth of twenty centimeters. The inside and surrounding areas are finished with the same type of plaster, smoothly applied, and all four inner corners are also rounded. It contains only one or two items: a ceramic pot, a stack of books, or a small plant. A warm light is hidden at the bottom or top edge of the niche.
Avoid: making the niche a square rectangle, adding wooden shelves and back panels inside the niche, filling the niche with too many items, using cool white light to illuminate the niche.

一個挖在牆上的壁龕。形狀是上方半圓的拱形或四角全圓的矩形,深度二十公分,內側與周圍是同一種塗料一路抹進去,四個內角也是圓的;裡面只放一到兩件東西:一個陶罐、一疊書、或一株小植物。龕的底部或上緣藏著一道暖光。避免:把壁龕做成方正的矩形、在龕內加木質層板與背板、把壁龕塞滿東西、使用冷白光打亮龕內。
