Empty corners usually form the underutilized areas of a home as they are not given the attention they deserve. With clever details and good utilization of space, a corner can transform into a highly functional and aesthetically pleasing space. Here are some tips to decorate the empty corners of your home and maximize every square inch of the available space.

1. Add Extra Seating

Create a cosy seating area with unique pieces of furniture like a chaise lounge, an accent chair, a rocking chair or a swing chair. One of the best ways to make optimum use of the corner space is by incorporating a sectional L-shaped sofa.

2. Introduce a Light Fixture

To avoid dark corners or shadows within any room, it is essential to incorporate a layered lighting scheme that includes sources of light at different levels so that the light is uniformly spread. You can brighten up the corner of a room by suspending a tall pendant light from the ceiling or introducing a floor lamp to a vacant corner. The best part about corner lighting is that it adds brightness, casts a soft glow and infuses an element of warmth within a space.

3. Create Storage

Amplify open storage with wall-mounted triangular shelves or floating shelves and use it for displaying books, photographs or statement accessories. For a clutter-free look, consider a built-in storage cabinet that can be used as a crockery cabinet, a display cabinet or even a bar cabinet. Install a corner bookshelf and introduce a lounge chair to convert it into a reading nook.

4. Place Plants

Bring in an element of freshness and spruce up corners with natural plants. Note that plants not only add a good dose of colour and texture but also enliven a space and have brilliant air-purifying qualities.

6. Design a Meditation Zone

Transform a corner into an area for prayer or meditation. Decorate the space with soothing colours and create a clutter-free look so that you can stay calm and focussed. Infuse a meditative vibe with a cushion, calming wall art, and tools like a singing bowl, affirmation beads and crystals.

7. Create an Accent Wall

Transform the corners of a room into an accent wall by hanging a painting, or introducing a boldcolour wallpaper or wall panelling. Go for statement accessories or personalize the space by creating a gallery wall with family photos.

8. Install a Corner Window

Expand the indoor space and create a brilliant indoor-outdoor connection by installing a corner window especially if the house opens into picturesque views. Add a window seat and create a space to soak in the winter sun.
