Abstract

A domestic refrigeration appliance includes a thermally insulated inner container bounding a coolable interior for food. A refrigeration device cools the interior, a door leaf opens and closes the interior, a thermally insulated wall portion has a first surface facing the interior, a second surface facing away from the interior and an opening. An interior lighting configuration at least partially illuminates the interior when the door leaf is open. The lighting configuration includes at least one lamp and a shell-like housing forming a backing part fastened on the second surface of the wall portion near a periphery of the opening and bounding a cavity which is open towards the opening. The wall portion partially overlaps the cavity forming a niche in which the at least one lamp is disposed, and the wall portion, near the niche, completely overlaps the at least one lamp.
