If you’re stuck with a neglected living room corner, now is your chance to revive that space and transform it into an inviting spot dedicated to your most peaceful past-times. Think about the items or activities that make you feel at home. Is it snuggling down with a cosy throw, an area dedicated to hosting family or perhaps being surrounded by a veritable jungle of houseplants? They can all serve as reminders to slow down and find time for yourself. From setting up a spot for note-taking or a corner devoted to reading - here’s how to make your unloved living room corners all the more purposeful – and beautiful.

Reading Corner
One of the most coveted and romanticised home design elements is the window seat or a snuggly corner for curling up with a book. A cosy little place to sit and read, have a deep conversation or watch the world go by in maximum comfort. What's more, with a banquette seat built into the window you'll be bringing in extra storage to your living room. It's a win-win.

Gallery Wall
If you have a few treasured pieces of art - from framed photos to painted canvas and even wall-hung ornaments - that have been looking for a permanent home, an empty living room corner is your chance to create a striking display. You don't need a large expanse of wall to create an impactful gallery wall, a niche works nicely and helps to anchor the eye.

Home Bar
Dedicate a corner or alcove to an at-home bar. This can be as all-out as building custom cabinetry (complete with a sink), pulling up a bar cart or simply using a small cabinet to prop up your barware and hold glasses - a great money saver that still fits in with your existing décor. Always look to optimise the space and décor opportunities with open shelving that will not only allow you to display your carefully curated collection of glassware, but provide a space for artwork, recipe books and extra storage.

Does-it-All Shelving
A run-of-the-mill corner can also be productivity-boosting. Use redundant space to get the whole household organised by building a shelving system that fills all of your needs - think charging points, coasters for coffees and notebooks for jotting down your most inspired ideas. Ensure you’re taking full advantage of natural light or add in task lighting.
