How to Decorate an Empty Corner

FT NEWS

Don’t know how to decorate an empty corner in the living room or in an another key space? Here are a bunch of ideas that can help transform a negative space into an inviting and a functional one.

Add furniture
A rocking chair
What to do with an empty space in the living room? Add a chair. See how this home’s empty corner design becomes an inviting getaway spot, with a rocking chair by a window – a perfect set up to enjoy a cuppa while watching the world go by.

A games table
Consider setting up a table and seating by the corner to enjoy a game of chess (or even cards). Since this games area is relegated to the corner, the constant activity won’t disturb the rest of the house.

A day bed
Sometimes for a power nap, sometimes to just kick back and relax, this corner bed is especially useful on lazy Sundays.

Hang up photographs
An art corner idea – the dead space here is utilised as a canvas for images. The black-and-white framed pictures give the area an art-gallery-like feel.

Bring in a sculpture
Filling up the space in the corner of the room is a tall sculpture – its pale earthy make stands out against the dark polished walls.

Install built-in bookshelves
The home library corner here is also complemented with a seating alcove – a cosy book-reading space is thus created.

Get tall storage that looks pretty…
The graduated ‘whatnot’ shelf in the corner here adds a pop of colour and Victorian charm to the room, while offering storage for china or knick-knacks. The actual footprint is small, and the vertical storage can make for interesting displays, including trailing potted plants.

…yes, even a clothes stand
In this nursery room, a stylish tall corner clothes stand is a useful place to hang the toddler’s clothes – its colour complements the palette of the room, too.

Make a coffee corner
A coffee corner like this can help transform a neglected corner into a favourite, much-used area.

Fit in a phone booth
It’s true – many of us don’t even own landline phones anymore. But whether for a real telephone or a dummy one, a corner can be converted into a phone booth area.

Carve out a window
Okay with making structural changes? A corner window can be a great way to make use of the dead space – it’ll open up the room to endless views and create an indoor-outdoor connection.

Add a vanity in the bedroom or a bathroom
The vanity and mirror unit here takes over the awkward corner space in this bathroom, to make an unusual and stylish spot.

Put up a TV
This corner TV idea hits home – the blank stretch of space is made functional by installing the tube.

Push in a bar cart
This corner bar is a flexible unit – the trolley helps fill up the empty spot in the room and can be wheeled in and out of the room, whenever needed.
