Creative Ways to Fill an Awkward, Empty Corner

An empty corner in a room can be an awkward eyesore. But with a little creativity, it can also be turned into a stylish and practical part of the room.

One way to fill an empty corner is with a bookshelf, a decorative shelf, or a bar cart. Whether it's used to display favorite novels, family photos, or art objects, a bookshelf can be both functional and decorative.

Another option is to hang a mirror in the corner. Mirrors reflect light and make a space feel larger, which can be especially helpful in small rooms.

For a more organic look, consider adding plants. Tall plants like fiddle leaf figs and rubber trees can help to fill empty space while also purifying the air.

Creating a functional nook for your reading time is a great idea to fill up an empty corner. Simply place a chair, a stool, or both to the corner and place a book, candle, or a small plant. You can easily see the visual difference. 

Finally, one of the most versatile ways to fill an empty corner is with art. Whether it's a painting, sculpture, or simply a few well-chosen prints, art can add color, texture, and visual interest to any space. With so many options available, there's no need to let an empty corner go to waste.
