DIY Hometalk

The empty corner in the room is trite, boring and dysfunctional. And for apartments, which also do not differ in large dimensions, this is a real crime. This section of the room is a great way to place the right thing without taking up much space. In the corner, you can place a variety of objects.

 

The main thing is to choose a product that will be in harmony with the overall interior of the room.

1. The Lamp

In addition to lighting, lamps also perform the function of zoning.

An oversized lamp will look very beautiful in the corner of the room. It will act as an additional source of lighting and at the same time will become a beautiful decorative element. The best option is a floor lamp. Lamps will play the role of dim light at the moment when the general lighting seems too bright and intrusive. You can also think about purchasing an unobtrusive sconce or decorative option that will create an original play of shadows on the walls. Pay attention to pendant lights, for example in the form of a bird or a flower.

2. Shelves

Snow-white shelves visually expand the space.

Shelves are the easiest and most practical way to decorate a corner. Using these products, you can fill in the empty space, making it useful and aesthetic. On them, you can place frames with photographs, decorative gizmos, books, and collectibles. As for the material, for comfort choose wooden models, for lightness and airiness – glass, for a touch of modernity – metal. The shelves also become a kind of distraction technique: if you hang them above the battery, then no one will pay attention to the radiator.

3. Shelf or Bookcase

A staircase-rack necessarily draws attention to the things that stand on it.

If you have a small apartment or you are a fan of minimalism in the interior, then instead of a massive wardrobe, we offer to purchase a bookcase. It is as functional as its “elder brother”, but at the same time, it takes up much less space and does not “crush” its presence. With it, you can increase the storage space in the room. On open shelves, you can place family photos, books, souvenirs, personal items. Instead of a rack, you can use a bookcase or a decorated staircase that looks more elegant and “lighter.” Do not miss ideas on how to occupy space in the corners with shelves, racks and other furniture.

4. Vases

Floor vase can be used as an independent decorative element.

If you do not want to overload the corner, floor vases will be the ideal solution. Due to the variety of shapes, colors, decorative elements, they are an excellent element for filling and decorating the corner. When choosing an original vase, pay attention to the strength of the material from which the product is made, as well as its stability, because the object can be easily touched with a foot and broken.

5. Wardrobe

A self-made wardrobe looks interesting and unusual.

Yes, you heard right. Let it be a miniature version of the dressing room. All you need to do is hang a small bar diagonally and complement it with corner shelves. If you are ready for experiments, then it is quite possible to build a full-fledged corner dressing room, using all the space that is.

6. Plant

Plants in the house make the interior more harmonious and complete. 

In the corner, you can place a houseplant in a beautiful, neat pot. Both tall trees with spreading leaves and compact stems will look harmonious. Any of these options will make space more vibrant. Also, the plant will be able to make a bright accent in the interior. As for the rules for placing the flower, it is better to place it near the window, where there is a large amount of natural light.

7. Mirror

The large surface of the floor mirror allows you to evaluate the entire image at the same time.

A dark and unpresentable corner can be beaten with a mirror. It will not only fulfill its intended purpose, show your image, but also visually increase the space, make it brighter. In the corner, both a floor mirror and a model equipped with a delivery or legs will look great. Please note that something pleasant to the eyes should be displayed in the mirror, otherwise you risk spoiling the interior and atmosphere of the room.

8. Armchair

Choose a bright chair that will accent the room.

It doesn’t matter in which room you want to beat the empty corner: in the bedroom, in the living room or in the kitchen. The chair will look appropriate everywhere. In a duet with a small elegant dressing table, it will create a great place to relax, where you can sit down in the evening with your favorite book or a cup of coffee.

9. Stool

On the stool, in the living room, you can put books, put a vase of flowers.

At first glance, it seems that this prosaic item can only stand in the kitchen near the dining table. However, in the corner, it will also play a significant role, especially if it is, for example, a corridor. You can sit down on such a chair, put a jacket while you undress, or place any necessary items there if there are not enough shelves or drawers in the room.

10. TV Stand

Corner cabinets for TVs – a non-standard solution in a modern interior.

Although the TV stand is not a fashionable trend in the interior right now (many people think that it only occupies valuable square meters. However, if the width of the living room does not allow the use of plasma with a large screen, then the stand will become your main assistant. In this case, we advise you to use the “diagonal rule” to place a sofa in one corner, and a TV in the second. So you save a place in the room and ensure a high level of comfort for yourself.

11. Desktop

A corner table can save space in a small room.

If you want to use the corner as competently as possible, put the desktop there. The angular model will significantly save space in a small room and usefully use the available area. However, in the overall premises, this interior item will also look appropriate. The size of the table will depend on the configuration of the corner and your personal preferences. As in the case of plants, choose a site near the window for the workplace, so that there is a lot of natural light.

12. Furniture Corner

A kitchen corner is an economical, practical and convenient furniture option.

This is the most prosaic and practical option (apart from ideas with shelves), especially when it comes to the kitchen. Although, if you are used to non-standard solutions to problems, the furniture corner will find its place in the bedroom and in the living room, for example, under the window. It will be a good alternative to overall sofas, armchairs, and will also help create a comfortable place for communication, games, gatherings with friends and relatives.
