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.

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.

In the article below, you will get acquainted with the different types of furniture and find out what options are on the market. How to fit corner furniture into the interior? - this and many other questions will be answered in the article below.
The production of corner furniture has been popular in European countries for many years. It all started with corner kitchens and living rooms and ended with the production of cabinets, tables and many other types of furniture. nine0003
Corner furniture made a real splash in the field of interior design
In Russia, this type was not so relevant until the last few years. When people saw the possibilities and advantages in terms of layout and overall design of the apartment, corner furniture began to actively spread throughout the houses. It is especially popular in small apartments, where every free centimeter is important.
Corner furniture has made a splash in the interior design industry, because it can be used to change the layout and smooth out a room with many open corners. nine0016

Visiting guests often judge hosts by their living room, and for good reason. Most of the meetings, according to tradition, are held in this room. In order for the leisure of the family and guests not to upset anything, you need free space and comfort. It is the development of space and comfort that contributes to the purchase of such a complex. nine0003
This version of the wall provides the necessary space and comfort
Space saving is the main feature of the corner walls . The seating complex is a complex of cabinets and shelves, which provides for the installation of a TV and other equipment designed for the living room.
Despite its small dimensions, the furniture can accommodate a large number of things. Closets are mainly provided for a large accumulation of clothes - there are linen shelves and even shelves for shoes. nine0003
Saving space is the main feature of the corner walls
Each cabinet is designed in such a way that it can accommodate as many things as possible. This can be understood if you start looking at each section. Thanks to the thoughtful arrangement of the complex - cabinets, drawers and shelves, it has become easier to store things and organize order.
Benefits
1 Save space
The living room is an important place in terms of space. This is where guests and family members gather. However, it becomes very difficult to place a TV and a lot of things, and therefore many choose to install a corner complex. By saving space, you can radically change the overall design of the apartment, or supplement it. nine0003

2 Variety of styles
Provence, boho, modern - and this is not the whole list of choices. You can create something unusual in the living room, different from other rooms. With the right choice of color, an unattractive dull living room can sparkle in a completely new way.
Hi-tech style

This type of furniture also looks appropriate in a large apartment. Thanks to the expanded dimensional grid, you can install a complex of any size, which gives you ample opportunities for designing your own apartment. nine0003
Corner living rooms are a great solution for transforming and changing the overall look of the room.

Wardrobe
Quite often space is “eaten up” by corners. Due to the fact that they cannot always be used, the space is reduced and the apartment or room can become very crowded. In this case, putting a cabinet in the corner is the best solution.
This cabinet offers plenty of storage space
Among the features of this furniture, we can distinguish an absolute spread of models. Now they are creating options that are somewhat reminiscent of dressing rooms, where you can store everything: shoes, small items, outerwear and underwear. You can buy a complex where cabinets are designed for the most necessary.
Which room is best?
Corner cabinet helps free up space and brighten bare corners. In some apartments where there is little furniture, corners can be the main reason for not being the most comfortable environment. If you scatter the carpet next to the closet, then regardless of the room, the design and overall atmosphere will sparkle with new colors. nine0003
Corner cabinets are especially relevant for the hallway
More often this cabinet is used for hallways. This is due to the fact that in old houses the hallways were made small and there are no opportunities to create a beautiful design because of this.
It is important to select furniture in such a way that the wallpaper and all surrounding furniture are in harmony with each other. In the case of an ill-conceived design, nonsense can result.
Sofa
These sofas are used in almost any room. It's all because of their special ability to fit into any interior. Of course, without defining the main colors and style, it will be bad to harmonize one with the other. Remember that the harmony of colors is the basis of a successful design. nine0003
Similar sofas can be used in almost any room
How to beat?
More often installed in the living room. At first it may seem that the location should be strictly in the corner, but it is not. When the living room is large, they often decide to put the sofa in the very middle, and harmoniously hang a huge TV on the wall or place a canvas for the projector.
In classic style
If the sofa complements the loft style, then by adding a couple of unusual interior elements, harmony will be undeniable. In all other cases, the sofa can have any arrangement, the main thing is to follow the harmony of colors. nine0003
Choose the size
If the room is large, you can place the sofa in two ways - in the middle and in the corner. When placed in a corner, you save a lot of free space. Often in living rooms they put all the furniture around the perimeter of the room, and leave the middle free.

Tip
To make the sofa look organic in the middle, it is important to make the right accent and not overload everything around with things. In this situation, the less decor around, the better. Do not forget about the existing design! If set incorrectly, the sofa will seem bulky and will visually reduce the room. nine0111
Fireplace
Fireplace is a detail that adds comfort and beauty to the house or apartment where it is located.
Corner fireplace can be:
- built-in;
- freestanding.
There are many options on the market with different installations. Regardless of the type of installation, a fireplace undeniably adds coziness and makes the home warmer.
Fireplace - a detail that adds comfort and beauty to a house or apartment
More often than not, the word "fireplace" means facing. Corner fireplace facings are now especially popular in the interior. nine0015 Cladding is the facade of the fireplace, which can be made in various styles. For example, Art Nouveau or Empire style. The firebox itself is given much less attention, since often the fireplace is not used for its intended purpose, but simply left for beauty.
There are many options on the market in different styles and materials. Corner fireplaces help:
- set the right accents;
- smooth corners;
- add zest to the interior. nine0123
Stylish decoration with corner fireplace
There are several popular fireplace locations:
- in the living room;
- cabinet;
- kitchen.
Location in the living room
The most classic version of the production. In such a case, it is important to consider the height of the fireplace. Win-win, such an installation will look in combination with other furniture. For example, if you put soft chairs with large pillows on both sides, and a small table in the middle, you get a cozy corner. nine0003
The most classical version of the production
In the evenings, you can sit by the fireplace and read, discuss something, or just sit and warm yourself.
In the office
If you place a fireplace in an office where a very strict style is maintained, then adding such a cozy addition to the interior, all severity will be diluted and the atmosphere in the office will become softer and more relaxed.
Office location
Kitchen
Fireplaces can hide corners, and thanks to the versatility of installation, you can create a kitchen in any style. With a fireplace, the kitchen becomes warmer and more comfortable. nine0003
Such a fireplace can fit well even in the kitchen
Where to put a corner fireplace? - you decide. This element of the interior can be organically fit into almost every room.
Shelves
Corner shelves are a great way to smooth corners and save space. On them you can place books and any other little things that often lie around the room and do not know their place.
Corner shelves are an option to smooth corners and save space
Kitchen, bathroom and hallway are the places where the most small things accumulate. Due to the fact that there is often not enough space, you have to put the necessary things in distant drawers so that they do not interfere in the daily hustle and bustle. This is very inconvenient, since you have to look for the right things in distant drawers every day. Otherwise, you have to suffer from the abundance of things under your feet. nine0003

Corner sideboards can complement the existing ensemble in the living room or kitchen
From the point of view of saving space, the sideboard is not so relevant. Yes, it hides the corner, but still it is more made for beauty, so that you complement your interior ensemble with a beautiful display case with dishes or other small things. So in a situation where there is nowhere to place a large number of things, a sideboard will not help. nine0003
Harmoniously similar furniture will look in a spacious living room, surrounded by other furniture. It is advisable to buy a sideboard in an ensemble, or to match the rest of the furniture - from the same material in color and wood.
Small sideboard
Sideboards are traditionally placed in the living room, because they will look very useful there:
- expensive sets of dishes;
- favorite photos;
- books.
More often people buy such furniture when they keep an apartment or a room in the Biedermeier style, however, even without a clear style, a sideboard can successfully fit into any room.

Showcase
This type of furniture appeared in the era of classicism, but later, showcases became relevant among many styles, including modern. Among the features is an amazing style, because it is the correct arrangement that will give scope for creating any design. nine0003
In such a showcase you can put dishes, a vase or small decorated items.
If you opt for oak in dark shades and relatively small size, you will approach the Empire style.
What can be placed inside the cabinet and where?
Most often, dishes are placed there, and vases and small decorated objects are also often placed there: You can put a showcase in an office or living room, and if the space is catastrophically small, you can show your imagination and create a working area from a small corner of the living room or bedroom. nine0003 Corner showcase can smooth out the corner, giving the room an unusual zest If you save space, then buying a showcase may not be relevant for you. One way or another, shop windows are rarely roomy. Basically, a set of dishes and some small things are placed there. Corner showcase will be able to smooth the corner, giving the room an unusual zest, choose the material that is in harmony with the existing furniture and fill it in correctly. With a harmonious distribution and staging, the showcase will greatly decorate the room. nine0016 Curtains add comfort and coziness to the interior. Without them, the apartment looks inferior. Now the layout is very different - in one room there can be more than 6 corners, and now this is normal for modern houses. Curtains add comfort and coziness to the interior Corner curtains should look with the curves of the window, however, this can be difficult to do. Designers are strongly advised to beat and put emphasis on corner windows through an unusual cornice and curtains. nine0003 Consider all the interior details below to create a harmonious look. Corner blinds should match the curves of the window Corner blinds are no different in quality from any other. The main problem when choosing is material, density and color. Advice In order not to be mistaken, it is better to invite a designer, or to determine the dominant colors yourself and buy window textiles in similar shades. nine0111 Corner structures save space in apartment Beautiful Mediterranean-style terrace If the design of the apartment is not in last place for you, and the apartment has a small area, then it is important to plan the place correctly and use light shades. The more variegation, the more emphasis on small dimensions. Tip Use white wood tones. In order to accommodate as many things as possible, fill the corners with shelves and corner cabinets. Colors should not be too bright, it is better to choose light colors When planning, consider colors, light and other family members. Pay attention to the light - the more of it, the better. Colors should not be too bright, keep the harmony. If your whole apartment is bright and colorful, then the furniture should be the same. In case you want to visually add space, then pay attention to light shades of wallpaper and wood from which you will buy furniture. Sofa version To save a lot of space and time, talk to each family member to figure out what furniture you need to put where.

Most often, the decision to create a corner living room is not just a desire, but a necessity. For example, you need to visually correct the not very successful shape of the room or correct the proportions. nine0003 In most interiors, furniture is distributed relatively evenly around the room. Yes, there are some compositional accents, but in general everything looks balanced. In the case of a corner living room, the emphasis on one of the corners will be obvious. To make such an interior solution look like a “chip”, and not an attempt to disguise something, a number of basic rules and recommendations should be followed. Tasks in such interiors can be very different, but they are all similar in structure. The presence of a catchy, specially designed corner in the living room implies the creation of an asymmetrical composition - and it is on this that the key principles are built, which should be guided. This is the first and most important rule to follow. Following it is important in order to strike a balance in creating an asymmetrical living room. Asymmetry as a technique in the interior is often used, but it requires attention to detail and does not tolerate congestion. nine0003 Even one non-standardly designed corner out of four is already a lot. You can see it, and this corner object will immediately catch your eye - whether it is a wardrobe, a mirror or a table. And if there are 2 or more such angles, the shape of the room will be even more distorted - and the effect will be unpredictable. Our consciousness is used to perceiving rooms as squares and rectangles, so any deviation will be perceived as something strange and wrong. One "active" corner can bring the room to a form that is ideal for perception. And two such angles will completely break the whole concept. nine0003 Another thing is the initially asymmetric living rooms of a complex shape. Here you can break any rules if there is a single design idea that “welds” all creative ideas into the big picture. When the focus is only on a certain corner, the interior looks interesting, it should not be the only possible option for arranging furniture. So that the atmosphere does not get bored, it is very useful to use modular furniture: it allows you to change the interior a little at any time, while maintaining the main composition. nine0003 This rule applies to all living room design options, not just corner ones. Even if it seems to you that you have found the very best type of furniture arrangement, do not get hung up on it, because you always need to leave “wiggle room”. The desire to save space often leads to the fact that all the furniture is placed close to each other - it looks rather heavy and visually makes the living room much smaller than it actually is. nine0003 First of all, this applies to corner living rooms. A “cut” corner, even just one, already eats up space a little. And if you also arrange furniture in the room along the walls, without gaps, you get a cramped room in which any idea is lost. The simplest options are to put a corner wardrobe or a corner sofa. But such obvious solutions are not always the best. Moreover, such furniture can be very uncomfortable in everyday life for several reasons. nine0003 Corner cabinet features As practice shows, corner cabinets are not the most convenient places for storage. A lot of space remains unused, and this makes it difficult to maintain order on the shelves. If you install a bar for storing things on a coat hanger inside such a cabinet, this is also not the best way, because the corners still remain empty (it is not recommended to move clothes there, because the sleeves are wrapped inside). A good option is to replace the corner cabinet with an open shelving unit. But here there is a nuance - dust quickly accumulates in the corners, so be prepared to pay special attention to this rack when cleaning. In general, occupying a corner with any “monumental” furniture is a controversial idea, since such an approach visually reduces the space. Features of the corner sofa Corner sofa, standing in the corner - it's pretty boring. Especially if there is no empty space around the sofa, but there are cabinets or other tall furniture. In this case, a lot of empty space is formed above the sofa, which has to be somehow additionally arranged. nine0003 A more promising option is to put the corner sofa differently so that it creates a separate zone (or even several) with its shape. The most versatile are corner sofas, which are upholstered on all sides with the same fabric: they can be placed in the living room in different ways, which opens up a huge scope for the implementation of design ideas. If you do not want to use such simple and not very convenient solutions, you can make the design of the corner more interesting. nine0003 Put a mirror in the corner. Not an old-fashioned bulky dressing table, but a tall mirror in a narrow frame, from the floor and almost to the ceiling. Such mirrors can be found in the fitting rooms of some fashion stores - they tilt at the right angle and are easily rearranged from place to place. The mirror is not only a very functional item (you can look at yourself from the outside at any time), but also solves 2 important tasks at once: nine0003 Visually expands the space. If possible, place a mirror so that it receives daylight. This will help make the room not only more spacious, but also bright. Perfectly corrects the shape of the room, if there was such a task. The corner hidden behind the mirror can be anything - and no one will pay attention to its imperfection. Install a fireplace. A demanding option that is not suitable for everyone, but with the right design, such a living room looks simply luxurious. Modern electric fireplaces do not require special care, but they create a simply magical atmosphere in the house. The fireplace in the living room is a rather “obligatory” piece of furniture that needs support in the form of an appropriate interior and accessories. Of course, this does not mean that you need to decorate the entire living room with heavy "monograms" and other excesses. But still some styling elements are required. For example, it can be graceful baroque couches, decorative elements made of wrought metal, etc. The main thing is not to overdo it with stylization and not turn the living room into a museum (although such options sometimes look very impressive). nine0003 It should also be borne in mind that the fireplace will become the center of the situation and the rest of the interior will have to be built around the “hearth” - this is not so simple, but the result is worth it. With a fireplace, even the most modest living room will become fabulously cozy and hospitable - no other piece of furniture has such a property. Set up a console table. Yes, this tiny piece of furniture can become the focal point of an interior if chosen and styled correctly. nine0003 An elegant table in the corner of the room will take on the function of creating a mood. For example, for New Year and Christmas, you can put a Christmas tree here, for Halloween - a creepy funny pumpkin, etc. Vases with flowers and other decorative elements that are difficult to fit into a functional environment will look great here. It is quite difficult to create such a special place in the interior for “nice trinkets”, but here it turns out quite naturally, without much effort. If necessary, the table can be removed if you want to rearrange it - this is also very convenient. nine0003 Leave the corner empty. A win-win option for living rooms with two windows on adjacent walls. This arrangement of windows is a real gift, and they need to be able to use. If the size of the room allows, leave the space in the corner between the walls with windows empty. Curtains
