Coffee Corner

The idea of making a coffee station inside your living room makes your home stylish. One could just place a side table with a coffee pot and add a few biscuits and crackers to juice up tea time! The same corner can also be changed to be a mini bar in times of need.

A Reading Corner

To dive deeper into the book, one needs to create a zone in their homes. An empty corner can be that zone for the vivacious reader and also serve the purpose of redecorating your home. Put in your comfortable chair and a side table with a favorite drink and you’re good to go!

Green Corner

Make some green space in your home to refurbish the oxygen content in your home. Green, the color of life, renewal, nature, and energy, is associated with meanings of growth, harmony, freshness, safety, fertility, and environment. Adding plants to the home atmosphere also gives people a refreshing and healing feeling. You could also add a small aquarium with a gold fish or two with plants around it to make it look beautiful adding colorful vibes to home space.

Music Corner

Placing musical instruments in empty corners brightens up the atmosphere for everyone at home, especially music lovers. If you’re not a musician one could always place a fancy Bluetooth speaker that come in fancy shapes and sizes these days as well to add music to your living space. You could also use the space to build a shelf to display old records, CDs and cassettes. Have a quick dance off with your partner!

The music corner, reading and a green corner could also be mixed up in the same space.
