Right angles don’t have to be tricky. Here are our most steal-worthy ideas to make the most of the space you have.
Use Unique Shapes
This rounded chaise might be tricky in a standard room, but it works perfectly in this odd corner near the staircase. When choosing furniture to fit an angled corner, like this one, don’t be afraid to pick pieces with a unique shape or scale.
Go All In On a Gallery Wall
Extending a gallery wall into a corner helps the lines of your space disappear. Choose artwork of varying sizes, shapes and textures for bigger impact. This is also a great trick to use in a smaller space, to make it feel a bit larger.
Create Additional Seating
If you have an odd corner in your home and you’re not sure what to do with it, consider creating an extra cozy seating area like this one from designer Kari Whitman. All you need is 1 or 2 chairs and a small side table. This can work really well in an extra long living room, family room or even in a master bedroom.
Add a Desk
This clever desk makes use of an otherwise abandoned corner in a NYC apartment. A solution like this one from Design Development might require some additional custom work; however, it’s worth it to add the functionality of a desk to your space.
Try a Window Seat
Here’s a chic corner from Blackband Design that makes great use of the space with the addition of a window seat. You can either create a custom solution or use a pre-fab model, but whichever you choose, work in some hidden storage with a lifting lid or cabinet-style doors.
