cool ways to decorate an awkward corner

If you don’t have much space available, every single corner counts. But there are really small corners that seem not to accommodate a lot of things. No worries, we’ll help you to decorate it right so that no precious inch of space would be unused. Here are some ways to arrange such corners and make maximal use of them.

Sitting/ Reading Nook

Create a cozy seating or reading nook from an awkward corner. According to the style of your space, choose a proper comfy chair or lounger with soft upholstery. Add pillows and a blanket to make it more inviting. Bookshelves around this nook and a floor lamp are right what you need for a reading nook. Comfy rugs, potted greenery and a side table to put a cup and a book are the last strokes for your comfy space.

Sleeping Zone

If there’s enough space, why not place a daybed there? Make a comfy sleeping nook for daytime naps and for reading comfortably while lying. A wall sconce and maybe some shelves around will be a nice fit for such a nook if you want to read there.

Eating Area

If there’s a small nook in your living room or kitchen, why not create a tiny breakfast nook? It’s especially great to make it by the window to enjoy sunlight and views while having a meal together. Place there a corner or a curved sofa, a couple of upholstered stools or poufs and a glass table – it will look airy.

Storage Space

An awkward nook can be a nice space for storing something. If it’s really tiny, you can go for a tiny side table that fits your interior. If not, have a look at chic consoles with several tops to accommodate more things. Open shelving is another great idea, which is suitable even for the smallest spaces, and such shelves look ethereal and not bulky. You can also place a cool sideboard or cabinet in the matching style in an awkward corner and use it both inside and outside.

Art Display

If you have lots of pictures and art to display, use an awkward corner for it. Hang them all creating a unique display in one style and the same colors. Don’t forget it should fit your space in decor, and the colors should be fitting too.
