Ideas to decorate corners, areas and "dead" spaces at home

The other day I heard a girl complain on social media that there were few ideas to decorate corners, areas and dead spaces at home on blogs and magazines, and I said, I'm going to look at the blog.

And the thing is, you're right. I didn't have an article even talking about decorating any of these areas, with the headache that they give on many occasions, right?

Not only the corners themselves, but areas such as:

Next to the sofa.

Walls or "dead" wall areas.

Corners in bedrooms.

Corners and stair areas.

Corridor areas.

And everyone these spaces and dead corners in which there is no furniture or anything that we use in a practical way and they are left empty and undecorated because sometimes we don't even know what to add. You know what I'm talking about, right?

Thus, I have prepared this article with 30 ideas to decorate these areas of which I speak so that you can be inspired and get ideas to decorate your own corners or your own dead zones and wear them proudly.

Because it is curious, they are areas that give a headache and are not used, but when they are decorated well, they are one of the most beautiful parts of the house.

I have divided the ideas into rooms and we are going to see the living room first, then the bedroom, and then the other areas. Although I advise you to see all since, even if they are in an area that is not the one you are looking to decorate, you can extrapolate that idea to your area.

Pictures and books on the floor.

If we talk about corners themselves, here is an idea not only to decorate them but also to gain storage space. Install some corner shelves and you will fill that dead corner, getting a small storage space.

Although in my opinion this area that we see above these lines did not lack anything since the sofa is wide enough to fill the entire wall, the side of the sofa has been decorated with an old trunk and a large plant.

Don't know what to put next to the sofa? Here's a good idea.

Let's keep going.

If you want to be practical, add an extra seating area that integrates with the sofa to create a balanced living room where everything makes sense.

Look at the room above these lines, at the window.

It is a dead zone, a corner that is difficult to decorate because if you put a piece of furniture you cover the light and the views.

In this case, it was resolved by adding a bench with the same upholstery as the sofa, a cushion and some plants on the sides.

This makes the space dress and integrated into the living room. Perfect.

If your intention is to decorate not only the corner but also the wall, one of the best pieces of furniture you can use for this is a tall shelf.

It will fill and decorate the empty corner and you will be able to add storage and organization space, which in a house never hurts.

To decorate the corner of this room, a piece of furniture has been added to match the style of the room itself and the upper area, the envelope, has been decorated with matching elements.

A piece of furniture always solves that dead zone that you don't know what to put.

The whole set of Kenay Home

In this other Kenay Home room, we see how after furnishing it and assigning zones to each element, an empty wall remained, which has been decorated with a wooden ladder, a garland and blue cross textiles.

It is merely decorative, but a nice flight of stairs can solve the ballot in any corner or empty wall that you have and do not know what to put.

A suspended shelf. If the white shelf suspended on the wall If it were not, the space would seem emptier, as if something was missing.

By adding the shelf, the living room scene is completed and a multitude of spaces are gained to store and organize everything.

Sometimes the very architecture of the bedroom leaves corners or dead zones that make it difficult to decorate and furnish the bedroom.

Especially in attics, as we can see above these lines, which they have been able to solve with style and elegance by creating a small seating area with a piece of furniture and an upholstered stool next to the bed.

This other elegant bedroom has two areas or two dead corners that have also been decorated with great style.

To begin with, the standing mirror leaning against the wall fills that corner and that wall that otherwise would have been empty even though the exposed brick has a strong presence.

The other area is the armchair at the foot of the bed with the floor lamp next to the fireplace.

If you have a large bedroom, an armchair or set of armchairs with a side table will elegantly complete the area.

A simple tall plant in a nice basket is all that was needed to decorate this empty corner between the bed and the window and that the nightstand is not able to fill.

If you like plants, don't get complicated if you don't want to. Any corner or dead zone of the house can be decorated with plants: tall, on the floor, on the wall, hanging from the ceiling, on a shelf...

It is not usual, but if you have a lot of space next to the bed, you can also add a bench or an armchair, as we see above these lines, creating a seating area in the bedroom.

Or it may also be that the free space is at the foot of the bed and you do not want or can add any furniture such as a chest of drawers or any other similar cabinet. In this case, an armchair with a rug tastefully finishes off the bedroom scene.

We leave the bedrooms aside and we are going to see other corners and dead zones that are usually found at home, especially in the area of ​​​​the stairs.

I love this stair landing. It has been resolved with such good taste that it is perfect.

Simple but well integrated, it does not hinder the passage of the stairs and decorates that corner with great taste.

In this other staircase we see that at the foot of it there is a hall unit, but if you look closely, there is another dead zone or an empty corner in which perhaps putting another hall unit would have been excessive and redundant, as well as lacking in ideas.

But it was resolved effectively and correctly by putting a tall plant under a mirror that decorates the wall. Perfect.

In this case, in the area above the stairs, there was a large gap next to the railing and a custom-made piece of furniture was built to fill that dead gap and gain storage space.
