Have an empty corner in your apartment that draws attention away from the rest of the room because its just soooo...empty? Or have an empty corner that you just want to fill?
Here are a few simple ideas to help fill in the blanks.
Plant Life- Putting a potted plant in a corner will always accent a room, add oxygen and fill the void, but requires work. I found out the hard way that plants can take day to day care almost like a pet. You have to water it, trim it, talk to it....well maybe not talk to it, but you get the idea.
The Random Chair- We've all seen it used at one time or the other. Someone places a chair in a corner. Maybe this chair was orphaned from a set or maybe it is an antique, but it always serves as a practical corner filler. You could even put a stool there. Some may think its out of place, but others will choose to have a seat.
Let There Be Light- Setting a tall floor lamp will not only fill the space, but also help add ambiance and lighting to your apartment. This is probably the best way to kill a dull corner and one of the most common. The best part is that it is relatively inexpensive if you are shopping at the right places.
Bookshelves- You could also purchase a corner bookshelf or 3 Tier Corner Metal and Wicker Shelf and place that in the corner to store books, DVD's, collectables or anything else you'd like to display to your apartment guests.
