While we spend too much effort and money to decorate every room in our homes, we often ignore the corner spaces. But you can transform the oft-neglected corners into useful and inviting spots.
When we incorporate space-planning into corners, it can make a room appear larger and make the space more functional. When used for decoration, it can add colour and visual appeal to the space. House corners give you the flexibility to be ingenious and go all creative with your home décor.
Here are a few smart ways to decorate those empty corners in your house:
Convert it into a reading nook
Get a home for all those books by getting a corner bookcase. The bookcase can be used not only for storing books, but it can also double up as a showcase depending upon your choice. Add a round table and chair or a few bean bags to make a reading nook.
How about an indoor corner garden?
If you have always wanted to have an indoor garden, make that dream come true with an indoor garden. You can easily buy a corner pot holder online for as low as Rs 2,000.
Although it will take some careful planning and maintenance to have herbs and flower plants, the visual appeal will make it all worth it.
Add architectural detail with a corner window
Make best use of the corner by incorporating a corner window.
A corner window allows sunrays from two different angles, brightening up the room at all times of the day. This architectural detail adds an interesting twist to your walls and makes the room appear classy and stylish.
Make a style statement by adding a corner wall display
Add style and glamour to your home through innovative wall ideas for the corners. From photo frames to wooden shelves, from art pieces to wall hangings, the choices are many! The key is to avoid small pieces and have moderate or large-sized decor that is visible from the centre of the room.
Make the most of kitchen space with corner cabinets
The kitchen is one place where there is never enough space. You can customise your corner cabinets and use corner drawers to maximise space, aesthetics, and function.
You can also have a thin sliding cabinet in between two corners that comes in very handy to keep long but slender boxes.
Have fun
There are no rules on what to do with corners and that is why we suggest you unleash your creativity here!
Add a brick wall background and complete it with big statues or fill it with tons and tons of photographs from your family. Add colour with artworks or make a quiet coffee corner by placing a table and chair. Ultimately, it is all about what makes you happy and the house functional.
