by the looks of it I'd say too high by about a few inches

A bit yes, but the bigger issue is it's always a challenge to make these look right! I'd rather see it filled, via a mural, a talented young local art student..... a section of a wallpaper mural.... It's the only way they ever really look great. FILLED. : ) That's true no matter their size, (generally) as they always come off as the clutter of " I didn't know what to do with this"/ Well..nobody does lol. The more "view......."? The better. Failing that? Call the drywall guy, be rid of it.

That’s a great idea. Maybe if I eventually get around to it we’ll sand down the back and do something like this. For now I’m just gonna up some art and a few attractive candles on nice holders :)

Yes, it is too high.

Ugh thank you all (lol) I’ll fix it!

The center of the art should be close to 60” from the floor so as close as you can get is the right height. I agree these niches are a PITA I usully close them to allow a nice piece of art not hindered by some arched opening

I think it’s a little high unless you’re going to have some thing below it which reaches up a bit to connect the picture with the “floor. “ pretty alcove.

Agreed. It’s a smidge too high like a drop. I would not do a mural but I would loveee some pretty wallpaper , like a blue!!! and a gorgeous brushed gold light fixture! Just ideas for the future lol

Light fixture means a tiny light proportioned proper with the space. Like a reading light size probably
