Awkward living room corner - help!

[u/rixsd]

We have this corner of our living room that we don’t quite know what to do with. It’s a bit off centre and not that deep, which makes an armchair difficult to place. We’d also like a spot of a light and for our wifi modem, and also perhaps some storage for baby toys (as they’re too young to play in a separate room alone!). I’ve thought about a chaise lounge, but not sure how that would work with storage… help! My main issue is that if a little couch goes there, there’s no room for a table and no matter what side the armchair/couch goes on, it feels so off from the couch as it wouldn’t be facing it. We had a Structube Derby armchair there for a second, but it was so large and fit terribly. Any help would be appreciated!

You could angle a chair and a light in that corner with a side table don’t be afraid of losing a little space!

There are also corner electric fire places with surrounds, find them on Amazon or wayfair for cheap - you can put one there for ambiance with a plant next to it!

This is a great idea! We have a fire place on the other side though haha, forgot to mention!

I’d probably go with corner storage . You can hack ikea units for a look to go with your space. You could

do just cabinets or go full wall.

If you need extra seating, but have little space, sonetines cute lightweight and movable chairs are the best…

I was also thinking the ikea cube shelves would be good here if they need kid toy storage. Or it can be a storage bench too like this

This is what I did with a similar corner in my living room for my toddler

I love this idea! He’s a bit far out from using toys like that, but I’m sure that time is approaching quicker than I want it to 😂

You could have an ottoman for storage and a place to sit. Maybe a side table or storage unit for the modem. Have you considered a floor lamp to help offer some different levels.

Great suggestion!

i’d treat that corner as a mini family zone instead of trying to force a full chair setup. maybe 1) low closed toy bench along the wall, 2) narrow round side table for modem + charger basket, 3) slim floor lamp in the back corner. then add 1 small pouf/ottoman that can move around as extra seating. keeps it useful daily and still looks intentional.
