Living room corners are great spots for an extra seat or two. Even if they're not used daily, extra seating in the living room is helpful when you've got extra company or are entertaining.

When styling a living room corner, it's crucial that the corner complements and meshes with the decor in the rest of the living room too. Take inspiration from the rest of your space to decide how to style a corner.

When you're trying to figure out what to do with any kind of empty space in your home, the answer can almost always be: houseplants. And living room corners are no different. Add a variety of houseplants to bring in some lush color and texture to your living room.

If you're looking to add just a few houseplants, you may need to add some height to your empty living room corner to make it look full and balanced. To do this, use a small, simple table and add the plants on top of it. (And if your corner is near a tall window, this will give the houseplants better access to sunlight too.

Shelving is another easy win for an empty living room corner. A couple of shelves can become a new home for your favorite books or a few board games. Add a chair next to the shelving and you've got a wonderfully styled living room corner.

Living room corners are often out of the way, but are still seen quite often. Use this not-quite-out-of-sight feature to your advantage by adding a shelving unit or display case to display a few of your favorite things, like souvenirs or a small collection. Its location in a corner keeps the entire room from feeling cluttered, but they're still on display in a prominent part of the home.

Who says you need to add anything to the floor of a living room corner to fill it up? The wall can work too. A gallery wall can be a great way to use an unused corner. Plus, what better way to add a little personality to your living room?

For larger corners (or otherwise tricky spots) in a living or great room space, add a small conversation set.
This will provide a nice place to get away from the hubbub of the main space, and it can be a great reading nook too.

Another way to fill an unused corner is with a living room favorite: built-ins. Built-ins bring extra storage to your living room and can add style to a space without adding clutter.

Wall coverings are another great way to bring visual interest to a space, like the shiplap in the corner above in the space from House 9. They add texture and character without adding extra furniture or decor—a helpful addition if your living room already veers on the side of a-little-too-full.

A small side table (or two nesting tables) is a helpful addition to nearly any living room, as they provide flexible usage for extra guests or dinners in front of the TV. And a great spot for said side tables? The living room corner.

In the age of the flexible home, sometimes a living room corner is the only space for a home office.
To make this look work, pick a desk that fits the corner and try to keep it tidy outside of work hours or when the desk isn't in use.

There are few things that say cozy as much as a window seat on a rainy day. And a window seat (or a bench) are great additions to a living room corner that can really up your living room's hygge factor.

Looking for a more unique seating option for your living room corner? Look no further than a chaise. The luxurious and elegant chaise brings a unique touch to any space, and it's sure to be the statement seat of your living room.

For some subtle storage (and style), add a console table to your living room corner. Console tables are a great place to store a few small items, like remotes, a magazine or two, and some keys. They also offer enough surface space to display a few pieces of decor too.

Sometimes living room corners can be awkwardly built, with nooks and crannies that are deeper or different shapes than the rest of your living room.
Use this to your advantage by picking furniture that fits well, even in the trickiest of spaces.

To really add some height to a living room corner (and plenty of green), add a potted tree. Look for dwarf varieties that are hardy to changes in moisture and temperature, don't need tons of sun, and include some interesting foliage to boot.

Another match-made-in-living-room-corner-heaven is the corner bar. Add a cabinet or two, a wine fridge, and a few shelves to get the living room bar of your dreams, and get ready to throw a party.

Many living room corners often contain windows. It's important to highlight living room windows—they're great sources of natural light and they can offer a lovely view into the world outside. To show off a window in a corner, use high-quality curtains in a pattern that meshes well with the rest of the space.

If you're tight for space, or just want another spot to work on a puzzle or take a quick bite, add in a small table and set of chairs.
To finish off the look, add a simple statement light and a large piece of art or two.

7 Go-To Ideas for Living Room Corner Decor!
Updated: by Kris Jarrett
Sharing my favorite ideas for living room corner decor so you can finally say goodbye to those empty corners in your home!
For years we had a corner in our living room that I wasn’t sure what to do with so I left it bare – once I filled it, I realized what a big difference it made to have it decorated! I’m sure I’m not alone in having a naked corner giving me the stink-eye so I thought I’d write a post sharing my favorite living room corner decor. Starting with my own solution, I have seven ideas for kissing those empty living room corners goodbye! (post includes affiliate links – full disclosure statement available {here})
1. A Tree (Either Faux or Real)
In our previous home, this living room corner was the spot where we set up our Christmas tree in our family room:
So for the rest of the year I wanted something that would be easy to move to another room to make way for our tree.
I added what’s now my go-to corner filler – {this faux fiddle leaf fig tree} (mine is the 7 foot version):
Sources: TV console (similar) | Chandelier (satin bronze) | Antelope pillow cover | White tasseled pillow cover | Blue linen pillow cover | Faux fiddle leaf fig tree | Rug | Pair of floor poufs | Art prints (details in {this post} | Acrylic coffee table (similar) | Coffee table tray (28″ square) | Rattan chair
It took me a while to stomach the price of it but after killing two real fiddle leaf figs that cost $100 each, I made the investment and am so glad I did – it adds so much life to this room (and doesn’t go brown on me)! It comes with a simple burlap wrapped base so you need a pot or basket to put it in – mine is in {this woven handled basket}:
As another option, I’m also crushing on {this faux olive tree} for a more airy look:
Pottery Barn came out with a different faux olive tree a year or so ago that I think looked pretty fake but this is a newer version that looks so good! Another option is to use a grouping of planters such as {these cross base planters} filled with a variety of tall leafy plants:
2.
A Decorative LadderAnother living room corner idea is to place an interesting ladder in the corner that can be used to hold extra blankets and quilts like {this cute white wood ladder}:
There are actually a lot of decorative ladder options to choose from – these are a few other favorites:

You could also consider a stylish ladder bookshelf like {this one} – depending on the size of your bare corner, a single bookshelf or a pair might be just what you need:
Also check out {this cute ladder with woven baskets}.
3. Artwork on an Easel
Another option is to buy a pretty easel to display a favorite piece of art in the corner:
Pottery Barn
My favorite easel I’ve seen is {this gorgeous acrylic easel}:
4. A Round Table
One of my favorite living room corner ideas is to add a round corner table (and then style the heck out of it like the talented Heather Bullard did here):
Heather Bullard
Check out {this round table} as a similar option to the one that she used.
5. A Cozy Reading Nook
Another option is to create a cozy reading nook with a comfy chair like {this upholstered wingback} and a small side table:
I kinda wish I could jump right into that photo – cozying up in a comfy chair to read is one of my favorite things!
6. A Floor Lamp
Another option is to fill that bare corner a statement-making floor lamp – one with a large base like {this tripod floor lamp} works best:
These are some other favorite stylish floor lamps that would work beautifully in a living room corner:

7. A Bar Cart
A final option is to use a bar cart in your bare living room corner. While you can use bar carts for the obvious purpose of setting up a bar with alcohol bottles, mixers, and glassware, they can really be used to hold just about anything – plants, books, you name it! We have {this rattan bar cart} which has been a really versatile piece – we normally use it for bar supplies but change it up sometimes too.
For example a few Christmases back, I turned it into a hot chocolate station for my girls and their friends:
These are a few other stylish bar cart choices:

The problem of empty corners is an eternal challenge for the owner of every house.
And it doesn’t matter if it’s tiny or big, sooner or later you will think to occupy it with something - beautiful or functional. In this guide, you will learn 20 ways to use the corner of the living room to the maximum benefit for you and harmony for the interior. nine0003
Let's take a fresh look at empty corners. Experienced designers advise you to start by answering the most important question: what do you want to change in the living room. Those. be puzzled by the use of corners, not because they are empty (problem), but in order to improve the interior (opportunity). And the tool for this will be small free areas of the floor.
For clarity, we have collected 80 photos of the design of the corner in the living room . Get inspired and let the finds be successful!
After analyzing a lot of options, we found that all ideas on this topic can be divided into two large categories (according to the tasks that you solve): (1) decor or (2) practicality. Of course, they can unite, but still one of the goals will be more important.
At the moment when you answer the question about the desired interior changes, you automatically determine:
- whether you want to make it more beautiful (more spectacular, add a touch of originality, etc.) nine0228
- find a more practical way to use the living room area, including its reserves.
or
If decor is more important, see the first section (out of 7 ways).
If you prefer a rational approach, there are 4 more detailed sections for you (storage, creating small additional zones, corner arrangement of furniture, fireplace, TV, etc.).
__________________________
corners in the living room - 7 tricks for beautiful decor
Some of these ideas require very little space and will not affect the original arrangement of the furniture. To implement others, you may need to acquire some new decor elements or make a small rearrangement. nine0003
1. Large indoor plants.
Tall plants with large leaves are appropriate in any room, regardless of style and size.
Put a ficus, a small palm tree or anything else in that very uncomfortable empty corner - and immediately feel how it became easier to breathe. And if your house has architectural delights like columns that already exacerbate empty corners, the plant will balance them.
2. Beautiful screen.
Why is she good? The one that won't get lost in a corner, like a painting, for example. The screen will turn the corner of the living room into a highlight of the interior. The taller and richer the decor, the more it will attract attention. nine0003
3. Decorative niches for empty corners.
Frame them with a contrasting color or decorative panels for more effect, add lighting. Put your favorite books or cute things in the niche.
4. Large art object.
Just don't rush to argue that you don't have money for such a luxury. This decor does not have to be expensive, fashionable or defiant. As an art object, any large object that you like is suitable.
nine0003
It can be an unusual installation of bare branches, as in this eco-style interior. Or - a large vase on the bedside table. Or maybe you like a collection of vintage suitcases or an antique mirror in the corner?
5. Side table with table lamp.
If you already have one, simply add a dramatic table lamp (interesting in color, texture or shape). This decorative element has a practical use - it is convenient to read or communicate in a private setting. nine0003
It also adds a positive visual effect - lighted corners are perceived as more comfortable, while the room seems larger.
6. Spectacular floor lamp.
It perfectly illuminates the middle of the living room if it has a trendy modern shape (curved base + extra large lampshade). Or replaces a table lamp (more traditional forms of floor lamps).
This results in a high-impact decor in the corners. So, as in the previous method, you get two effects at once - decorative and practical.
nine0003
7. Console table and mirror.
If you plan to have a console table or a beautiful chest of drawers in the corner, hang a mirror above it. It will turn out a very elegant element, especially relevant in a classic interior.
In addition, the mirror surface will add light and volume (practical role).
__________________________
additional area in the corner of the living room - 4 options
The essence of the idea:
furniture and design are selected depending on what you need - the opportunity to work, private communication or a corner for personal relaxation. nine0003
Reading nook.
It will fit even in the smallest room. A comfortable chair and a lamp (wall sconce or floor lamp) are enough. If desired (and enough space) - a bedside table or a miniature bookcase.
Workplace in the corner of the living room.
In your house there is no room for a full-fledged study, but in the living room there is a large enough empty corner? The perfect place for a home office!
To make the most of your precious space, hang corner shelves on the walls or opt for a corner workbench.
nine0003
Interested in an idea? We know everything about the corner home office, find out in our guide on this topic.
A corner for private communication.
A pair of armchairs, a coffee or card table, a little decor - and voila, a hospitable corner is ready!
If the living room is large, this trick will help hide empty corners. If the area is modest, you will win an additional place for gatherings with your soulmate or friend.
Tea corner or minibar. nine0219
In the large living room, you can create an additional, very comfortable corner for a small meal, evening tea or cocktail conversation. The difference from the previous version is in the height of the table (or rack, if we are talking about a small home bar).
In addition to a table, a "gentlemen's set" may include a pair of chairs or a corner sofa. Even if you already have a full-fledged dining room, you can always add such a corner for a cozy conversation over your favorite drink.
__________________________
large interior elements
Here we will consider the 2 most popular options.
TV in the corner of the living room.
Sometimes this position of the TV is the most convenient. It is enough just to purchase a corner cabinet for equipment.
Decorating such a zone is not at all easy. However, if you look for eye-catching furniture to frame your TV, this can be a very good move.
Another reason to use this solution is the problematic combination of a modern plasma screen and traditional style (anything from classic and country to ethnic and colonial). nine0003
If you want to show that the TV doesn't matter to you at all, hide it in a corner cabinet. How else you can hide this item, we showed in our large two-part gallery on the topic of how to hide a TV.
Fireplace in the corner of the living room.
Usually the hearth becomes the focal point of the living room, and it is placed in the most conspicuous place.
But it is more appropriate with large classic fireplaces, beautiful in their scale. And for a corner (for example, near the window), their younger brother is quite suitable - a mini-fireplace (usually a gas one). nine0003
It both smoothes the corner and at the same time attracts attention - with light, warmth and comfort. By the way, this solution is ideal for those who really want a fireplace, but cannot make it the center of the living room (for example, if the room is small or performs several functions at once).
A beautiful finish is not canceled and depends on your imagination (or the type of model purchased in the salon).
By the way, corner fireplaces are more expensive than standard ones. Therefore, it may be sufficient to simply rotate the normal model at an angle to both adjoining walls. If at the same time you are confused by the free space formed in the corner, order a corner mantel-top and attach it instead of the standard one. nine0003
__________________________
corner cabinets and shelves
Storage issues in the living room can become a problem (if the room is small) or worry the owners only in connection with the problem of empty corners.
Therefore, in this section, we have included 3 completely different ways to solve these problems using angles.
Corner home library.
Do you have so many books that you have no idea where to keep them? Or, conversely, is there no room at all for your few chosen volumes? The bookcase (racks) in the corner will save you. And compact, and beautiful, if in harmony with the rest of the situation. nine0003
Shelves for living room corners.
It is not necessary to look for corner shelves specially - it is enough to combine ordinary ones into a beautiful and comfortable composition. However, if you turn on the fantasy, you can come up with more original options.
These shelves can hold books, decorations, photographs or small boxes for small items.
Showcase.
All you need is a shelving unit or an open corner cabinet. And he will proudly demonstrate your "treasures". Especially good for fragile gizmos that you are afraid to put on hanging shelves.
nine0003
__________________________
upholstered furniture for living room corners
For this section, we have selected 3 options, choose what you like best and meets your comfort needs.
Corner sofa.
As the name suggests, this wonderful invention was designed specifically for those who want to create maximum seating space in their living room using corners. But it's not only that. It is clearly more comfortable to communicate, and sitting in a corner is much more pleasant and comfortable than on an ordinary sofa. nine0003
Another advantage of the corner sofa is that you can easily equip a reading nook with a wall sconce. And no tables for lamps and floor lamps! Imagine how much space this wonderful item saves. If the room is also small, a suitable compact corner sofa is the perfect piece of furniture for this occasion.
Bench with cushions.
An interesting and popular item that came to us from American and Swedish interiors.
Pay attention to the first photo. Once this place was considered a terribly uncomfortable "tail" of the living room. And now it has become a favorite vacation spot. If your house also has such corners with which you have no idea what to do, try this option too. nine0003
In addition to the sofa bench, you can equip this area with bookshelves or pick up furniture that looks like a banquette for the hallway (bench + drawers).
Armchair.
In a small room, even an armchair for family members can be placed in a corner. Or - one of the chairs (if a couple fits).
If the living room is spacious enough, you can add additional places for guests to the interior, which, if necessary, can be moved closer to the sofa.
________________________________
Any piece of furniture that is effective in the corner.
And, in conclusion, we can recall that there is universal compact furniture designed specifically for corners - shelving, bedside tables, sofas, sofas.
