8 Ways to fill empty corners

The four corners of a room are often a no man's land when it comes to design. I am not saying that you have to fill up every corner with something, but I am advocating thinking about your space to determine if it might need to look more "fulfilled". Here are some of my favourite solutions:

Art

Using Art to fill an empty corner

Margaret Ryall

Usually you can't walk right up to art you place in a corner, so choose something that can be read from a distance. This lovely matted and framed wood sculpture is stunning for corner purposes. It brightens up the space, fills it nicely, provides a backdrop for the dark table and lamp base and is a bit of a conversation piece. I was so excited when it was hung on my clients' wall.

Kristen Rivoli Interior Design

This colourful mid century modern space needs art work to match. It creates another layer for the space that invites the eye to roam and then return to the equally colourful lamp and chair.

Round table and two chairs

Houzz

Round tables are great for corners because they allow you to fill the awkward space and at the same time move your eye around so you don't get stuck there visually. The addition of the lamp provides the third height thus creating a more interesting design.

Tall floral arrangement

Jeffers Design Group

When you have the height why not go for it and use something tall to fill the space. Again a round table is the mainstay for this foyer area.

Built in bookcase

Vicente Burin Architects

This beautiful set of bookcases tucks effortlessly into a corner. The colour adds to the whole space and the minimal arrangement of objects and books ensures it isn't too busy.
