What room is the alcove in? You could add a very plain, straight wooden strip to finish it off. This sort of thing is sold at most diy stores. It could then be painted the same as the walls to give a neat finish.

I currently have about 5 large boxes of books in my house and 5 “unused” alcoves so alcove shelving seems an obvious solution to me! What I’m struggling to decide is 1) How far recessed from the alcove the shelves would look best (2cm or more in an alcove that is 30cm deep?), 2) how chunky/thick (top to bottom) the shelves should be and 3) whether to pack the shelves in eg for novels without leaving much space between shelves or make a taller space on the bottom shelf for photos etc? Any ideas please?

Dear Ocean and Lynn, I'm happy to help property owners if I think I can give a helpful, concise answer or point them in the right direction. Although this is a valid design dilemma, it is one of several types of question that I should think many professionals on Houzz will avoid. This is a technical query which requires detailed knowledge of specific products and circumstances, in which giving inadequately informed advice could be problematic. These are usually best addressed to manufacturers of specific products or an architect / designer / installer who is engaged to deal with the project.

It looks like you all get the idea. There are no limits, apart from our imagination, to the configurations. I have no idea why they are called jib doors. Does anyone know? I do know from experience though that they work a treat. Many years ago I was visiting Abbotsford the home of Sir Walter Scott. I was lost in reverie taking in the contents of a lovely room when the wall moved and a woman appeared. I quite literally jumped out of my skin! She turned out to be a grand daughter of Sir Walter Scott who very kindly explained the door mechanism. I think she took secret pleasure in startling visitors!

Alcove wall lights above/below picture rail?
Q

It seems to me the space above the picture rail should be clear of fittings or any decor for that matter. I'm also having a hard time picturing wall lights and alcove shelving on the same wall. Just because they are there now doesn't mean they should stay. Some lights on an extending arm could look nice, depending on your style. Or flush LED lights if you want to light the shelves. Much depends on the design of the shelving.
