Entry Alcove Help!

Right when you talk in our home we have this large high alcove. Thinking about adding shelves? Looking for suggestions on what to do! Kind of an interesting shape

A tall glass vase that glows when you turn the spot light on (unless you're in earthquake country).

Lucky you since there's a plug. Get a long, oblong lamp, which will make a nice, friendly addition to your entryway. I must say, though, I can't figure out why builders stick these odd nooks here and there.

Here are two wonderful, slim table lamps from Ikea that look like basket/vases when not lit.

Check measurements to make sure the second one's not too wide.

You could try a nice sculpture in that area since there is a light in the alcove. Notice the alcoves in this design of ours included below.
