Creating holes in a wall

Hi, i always encounter this problem in the design process, 

making wall recess don't always give a clean result in floor plan, i used several methods, using niches, column / beams with a higher material priority,

in this exemple i used a column, 

is there a solution for that ?

Rather than SoE-ing, could you instead us a Wall Niche?
