Are you wasting the space where your walls meet? In our never-ending quest to make the most of every square inch of space around the home, we’re looking to the corners. Corners can be cleverly occupied and used or totally awkward and wasted. Eliminate the awkward and make sure your corners are serving you as best they can. Check out these cleverly occupied corners to decide.

                

1- Open The Corner Completely: The line between indoors and outdoors disappears with doors that open up a corner

2-Nestle in a sectional: Let’s start off simply. Sectional sofas were made for corners. In fact, the corner spot is usually the comfiest, most coveted spot for lounging. In a small room, cozy that sectional right into the corner.

3-Make a big statement with a room screen: Artwork is great, but it can get lost in a corner like this one. If your corner has a case of the blahs, add height, dimension, texture and geometry by angling a room screen there.

5- Bring in some life with a plant: High-rise homes often have large columns that can make the corner space even more awkward. In this home a tall plant adds a wild shape and large sprigs of green to all the clean, modern lines and neutral colors.

6- Designate a spot for reading: A comfortable chair, a side table and a reading lamp are all you need to create a favourite spot.

7- Consider a banquette for a vast living room or dining room: In large rooms, corners offer an opportunity to create a little room within the room. A seating area like this one can inspire an afternoon tea tradition, or host an ongoing game of chess.

8- Hang a mirror over a console table in the corner: This vignette makes elegant use of a small corner. The mirror adds depth and reflects light.

9- Address the corner with architecture: These last few big moves are for those who are planning new construction or a remodel. Talk to your architect about contemporary corner windows.
