Capitalizing on the corners
of your rooms will fill in your decorating plans.
Corners can be a challenge, but they’re not wasted space. Decorate them thoughtfully to add interest and function to a room.
Just about whenever you have four walls, a corner is created. Corners are seldom the heart and soul of a room. Sometimes they’re charming and engage us to decorate them beautifully. More often they create an awkward space, especially when the corner doesn’t include 90-degree angles. And often they fall totally “under the radar” of decorating plans. But an empty corner can make a room look unfinished and unbalanced.
Don’t think of your corners as wasted space; embellish them to add flair to your home environment and even add function to a room! Most important of all, don’t let corners become spots for clutter to accumulate.
Here are some ideas:
- An interesting small table can be topped with a unique art object, striking lamp or beautiful vase.
- A large houseplant or tree can sit on the floor, adding nature and beauty, and even refreshing the indoor air quality.
- An extra-tall vase filled with tall branches or grasses can sit on the floor.
- A small desk can provide an additional work area or computer space.
- An easy chair and good lighting can create a cozy reading space.
- Small wall art on one or both walls of the corner can provide a point of interest to engage visitors.
- Display shelves can hold family photos or treasures collected on adventures around the world.
Don’t cut corners in your home decorating! Make it a point to focus on enhancing these challenging spaces in your house.
