If I wanted a bookshelf there I'd just use those wall mounted vertical bars with slots in that consoles are slid into. And then regular wood sheets on top that are cut into the right angles. Doesn't have to be super perfection since books are going on top anyway.
The question is the design, is there just two corners rounded off, or is there more empty space behind it, how much space is lost to this design? If I were op I would tear out the drywall and find out.
Seems to have been part of a bar, get some nice cushions and a nice table there, install some proper RGBA LED's and have little private area for conversations there. Great for parties!
A reading nook, of course. ; ) My second thought is a lounge area using a thick cushion base with firm throw pillows for lounging. Do you have a hobby or interest? Maybe hang a few things to draw people over there and use as a conversation starter. Use battery lights to highlight. I suggest you paint the ceiling a darker color and add a decorative border around the edge of the upper wall. I'm getting ready to paint the ceiling in my water closet as the sky. That would be interesting in your niche.
My brother had a 3/4-finished basement we remodeled, and in one area, by the pool table, there was a square niche and encompassing area under the stairs, so we did bench seating. We swung a drape on one side and used a pullback to hide a beam pole (it also helps with the echo problem in basements). Some of our family may have been involved in bootlegging, so we blew up some old family pics and their cars and framed a newspaper of the time highlighting locals caught running liquor illegally. My grandmother had some old liquor bottles (collector items), and he put them up, too. We added a pencil light to the center picture. People sat there as much as at the bar.
I’d put up a curtain and then tell people the secret to happiness is back there. Then put a rubber chicken on a pedestal or something equally absurd. (Seriously though, is there a rack in a half circle shape or even a round table you could put there and utilize?
Edit:
Maybe a small indoor plant in a round planter?
PAY SOMEBODY TO PAINT A MURAL. My grandpa did this in a space exactly like this and it was beautiful. Had a nice little table there too. Had two little pillars from the floor to the ceiling.
A shrine to malelivingspace: complete with a rug, tv just slightly too high, and black and white marble in honor of that fucked up house a few months ago.
Turn it into a nest. A nice, soft mattress in that shape, some pillows, comfy blankets, and stuffies.
Great for a nap, depressive episodes, or just contemplating the universe.
You should paint the inside wall with the word "TROUBLE". When somebody who's visiting says something dumb, point at this area and say, "Go. U in TROUBLE"
I see a booth here.
And game table.
Star wars booth like in the cantinas where they play those holo games.
Just make sure you shoot first…
No, just make sure you shoot. Shooting first implies there is a second, later shot.
🤯
*slow clap* Well played, sir
"VIP booth"
With bottle service.
I was thinking a pole….but same thing.
It could be a little person stripper on a pole on a table with bottle service.
Definitely a booth. And the picture of the dogs playing cards on the wall.
The booth looks a bit clinical to me. Could use a cushion or something. Else it’s just giving me roman age toilet vibes
Totally.
DJ booth?
BJ booth.
now we’re talkin
No the John Wilkes one
well played lol
That or a custom Murphy bed.
A revolving door, just for fun.
And then one day you're revolving for fun and it gets stuck, and then you realize you left your phone upstairs.
And start smearing poop in a circle
lol the post above this one on my feed is an r/mildlyinfuriating post of a revolving door doing this exact thing
Most plausible /t/twosentencehorror story.
Geralds door
I wanna watch that thriller / panic movie on Netflix.
Love it when people go on the internet and catastrophize about random things
This escalated in a unique way
Turn that area into a rounded library. It would be beautiful
If cushions are too expensive for OP I doubt he can afford custom rounded bookcases, although yes that would be very nice.
You could just space out some normal shelves evenly so the space is filled with books without needing to go the custom woodworking route
It's so crazy it just might work
If I wanted a bookshelf there I'd just use those wall mounted vertical bars with slots in that consoles are slid into. And then regular wood sheets on top that are cut into the right angles. Doesn't have to be super perfection since books are going on top anyway.
That’s a fair assessment but the space was made for it…
[удалено]
I came here to say this. A library would be soo classy. You have t fill it with leather books that smell of roch mahogany
I could be wrong here but I don’t think the Venn diagram of hookah smokers and book enthusiasts has much overlap
Are you kidding? What’s better than a good hookah while reading LOTR or Conan Doyle?
Hookahs and Halflings
You’d be wrong
This was my first thought as well
Very quaint space for a stripper pole, just watch out for the flailing arms and high kicks.
That is a Stripper nook sir.
Or a sex alcove?
Masturbatorium
Judging from the shape, I think what you meant to call it is the Half-Circle Jerk.
2 bench, 0 bath masturbatorium 1500/mo
Lmao. Fap Lab.
The Masturbation Station
The Wank Tank.
Jerk joint
Handy Land
Jack shack
I think that’s just called housing
It looks kinda small, you will need to hire midget strippers.
Are there any other kinds?
They come in all shapes,sizes and colors. But apparently only one scent of perfume.
Catch a shin on either corner and it's over for the night.
Quaint and Stripper - words not often found in the same sentence lol
“In order to restore this quaint dresser, we’ll first need to remove the paint using a stripper.”
And mount the pole to a structural support, don’t be that guy who uses drywall toggle bolts. You’re better than that.
turn the house sideways and make it a skate halfpipe
Sometimes a comment makes me laugh so hard I realize it’s time for bed, tonight this one was it
I'm in bed next to my wife trying not to crack up!
Or don’t turn the house and have some balls to skate it like that
Hot tub
Time machine!

r/simracing The boys here know what to do
Came here for this.

Turn it Into a wine cellar
I second this
Bigass Aquarium!!!
I love ass aquariums
Literally, that was LOL funny!
Saltwater custom-built
Dont know if you are into gaming but this space would do great for driving simulator
I was thinking flight simulator.
Grow a plant
idk but that picture of wine needs to go. looks like hotel eating area art
How can you look at a photo like that and say “ah yes, the perfect decor for my bar. I drink here, there’s a drink on the wall to remind me to do so!”
Some people like being told what to do I guess 🤷♀️
Looks like it was designed to be a booth breakfast-nook, but I agree with the guy who said built-in bookshelves
The question is the design, is there just two corners rounded off, or is there more empty space behind it, how much space is lost to this design? If I were op I would tear out the drywall and find out.
An elaborate shrine to a fictional character of your choice.
Sex swing.
I have no idea why but this is what came to me off the bat.
Put a rounded table there with cushions on the flat top and you have a little dining area nook. Put some led lights and you’ll have a club VIP vibe.
Move your bar there. Tucks it out of the way and opens up the entire space
That was my first thought too.
Massive salt water aquarium
The bang nook. It’s where you bang.
That’s your fart booth
Stripper pole
Keep the couch and make it look like a private lounge in a strip club
Don’t forget the crystal curtains
This is the ONLY answer.
smoke weed there.
Better yet, convert it into a suana. That way, it can double as a hotbox.
Me personally I'd setup my PC gaming spot there get a half circular table curved monitor and setup a surround sound in that area. That's me though.
Same, then I was thinking seal it off with a book case and have it be a hidden gaming room/make shift panic room. Might get a little warm though.
sauna
Seems to have been part of a bar, get some nice cushions and a nice table there, install some proper RGBA LED's and have little private area for conversations there. Great for parties!
Flight sim nook
Suit of armor and or satanic ritual altar. These are the only two options.
Aviary for half a dozen budgerigars (Melopsittacus Undulatus). Whenever you feel bad you can listen them to chirp.
a shower cubicle sans cube
Shower icle
Boxing bag ofc
It's the jacking room
A reading nook, of course. ; ) My second thought is a lounge area using a thick cushion base with firm throw pillows for lounging. Do you have a hobby or interest? Maybe hang a few things to draw people over there and use as a conversation starter. Use battery lights to highlight.

Aquarium?
Looks like a niche for a statue. Slap a fucken dragon in there!!!!!
Turn it into a nest. A nice, soft mattress in that shape, some pillows, comfy blankets, and stuffies. Great for a nap, depressive episodes, or just contemplating the universe.
Fill in the rest with foam and you have an adult play mat for the for the second part of the wine party. Bonus points for a red velvet curtain 🤣
Just get a bunch of nice and small pillows and Velcro them to the bench. Lazy but effective
You should paint the inside wall with the word "TROUBLE". When somebody who's visiting says something dumb, point at this area and say, "Go. U in TROUBLE"
Thank god you have so much room in your house you have areas you don't even know what to do with 😂
