Sharing my favorite ideas for living room corner decor so you can finally say adieu to those empty corners in your home!

For years we had a corner in our living room that I wasn't sure what to do with so I left it bare – once I filled it, I realized what a big difference information technology made to have information technology decorated! I'm sure I'm not lonely in having a naked corner giving me the stink-eye then I idea I'd write a postal service sharing my favorite living room corner decor. Starting with my own solution, I accept seven ideas for kissing those empty living room corners goodbye! (post includes affiliate links – full disclosure statement bachelor {here})

1. A Tree (Either Faux or Existent)

In our previous home, this living room corner was the spot where nosotros set up up our Christmas tree in our family room:

Then for the residue of the year I wanted something that would be easy to move to another room to brand way for our tree. I added what's at present my get-to corner filler – {this faux fiddle leafage fig tree} (mine is the seven foot version):

Sources: TV panel (similar) | Chandelier (satin bronze) | Antelope pillow cover | White tasseled pillow cover | Bluish linen pillow embrace | Simulated dabble leaf fig tree | Rug | Pair of floor poufs | Art prints (details in {this post} | Acrylic coffee tabular array (similar) | Coffee tabular array tray (28″ square) | Rattan chair

Information technology took me a while to stomach the price of it but after killing two real fiddle leaf figs that cost $100 each, I made the investment and am and then glad I did – it adds so much life to this room (and doesn't go brownish on me)! Information technology comes with a unproblematic burlap wrapped base so you need a pot or basket to put it in – mine is in {this woven handled basket}:

As another option, I'm also crushing on {this simulated olive tree} for a more than airy expect:

Pottery Befouled came out with a different faux olive tree a year or and then agone that I think looked pretty fake but this is a newer version that looks then skilful! Some other option is to use a grouping of planters such as {these cantankerous base planters} filled with a variety of tall leafy plants:

Another living room corner idea is to identify an interesting ladder in the corner that tin be used to concord extra blankets and quilts like {this cute white wood ladder}:

At that place are actually a lot of decorative ladder options to choose from – these are a few other favorites:

You could likewise consider a stylish ladder bookshelf like {this one} – depending on the size of your blank corner, a single bookshelf or a pair might exist just what y'all need:

Another option is to create a cozy reading nook with a comfortable chair like {this upholstered wingback} and a pocket-size side tabular array:

We have {this rattan bar cart} which has been a actually versatile slice – we normally use it for bar supplies but modify it up sometimes too.
