Leaving a corner of a room empty is something anyone can do. But this solution can only be called banal, boring and non-functional.

If you live in a small apartment, this is a real crime, because you can place one of the necessary things here, and it will not get in the way under your feet.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti and designer, spoke about items that can be left in the corner of the room.

Let's start with the simplest and most practical way to decorate a corner - by placing shelves in it. They fill the empty space, turning it into a useful and aesthetic corner.

What to put on the shelves7 Anything – it could be photo frames, decor, books, etc.

If you don't want to overload the corner, buy a floor vase. When buying, consider the strength of the material and its stability, because it's so easy to kick an object in the corner and break it.

Houseplant lovers will probably like the idea of leaving a flowerpot in the corner. It is impossible to say which flower will look better here – a tall one with spreading leaves or one with compact stems. They all look equally good.

If we are talking about a dark corner, which, moreover, also looks unpresentable, you can decorate it with a mirror, which will not only allow you to admire your reflection, but will also make the space brighter and increase the size of the room.

A small lamp in the form of a floor lamp or sconce would look very beautiful here.

For the most practical people, the corner can be useful for placing a work desk in it.

This piece of furniture will look harmonious both in a small room and in a spacious room. The size of the table, naturally, depends on the configuration of the corner and the preferences of its owner.

A worthy option would be an armchair standing in the corner, which would be appropriate both in the living room and in the bedroom and even in the kitchen. And if you add a small coffee table to it, you will get a cozy place to relax.
