What do you do with cubby holes behind the chimney like this? Put a 20cm IKEA shelf for CDs in it? A lamp? Junk? Some electronics? It feels like an unusable dead space that just accumulates dust and spider nests over the years.

Hell yeah. Probably build it on drawer slides so it can slide out and reveal a nice rack of long guns with shelves up top for handguns and mags and ammo...

I have a gap like that between a dresser and a wall. It is filled with a bunch of random shit. Old binders and books and bags of miscellaneous crap and I think there's an amplifier for a car subwoofer somewhere in there. I should clean it out. If you pack this space with junk it will remain that way for a long time. It's so little usable space that it's hard to even find a reason to want to clean it out. Better put something at least slightly useful in there so you don't end up like me.

Could get a pretty nice fold out bed in there if you have guests often

If you did it right you could make it look like that little cubby doesn't even exist. Not like some thief is going to go around measuring your chimney width outside then come inside to measure and verify that it is fully in the corner of the room and there isn't some hidden area there... In fact I'm pretty amazed that it wasn't just walled off during construction to eliminate are that little cubby anyways.

Finish the wall make it flush with other one. Or shelves. Make a secret door put your mistress in there. Put a plant in front of the door. Hide some weed in there. Etc

I'm not sure that it's right to morally condone having a mistress or illegal drug use anon.
