Arranging your living room to fit your lifestyle is more important than ever before. With family members working remotely and multiple home edutainment options, every inch counts. From turning a living room corner into a workspace a setting up a bar for entertaining guests, living room corner spaces can transform your home into a practical living space that fits the way you live.

Here are some great ideas for making the corners of your living room more useful, even if they have an irregular shape.

1. Create a home office

Working from home is a wonderful thing for many people but balancing a laptop while sitting on the sofa is not really a good solution long term. If you don’t have the luxury of a separate laptop room for a home office, you can convert a corner of the living room into a quiet place where you can be productive.

Choose a corner desk or a smaller writing desk to accommodate your computer, add an ergonomic chair and a file cabinet or bookcase and your good to go.

2. Set up a bar for entertaining

If you love entertaining and you want to offer your guests a drink when they come to visit, consider using a corner of your living room as a bar. A bar setup in the corner of the living room is a great way to make the most of your available space and make entertaining a breeze. Think about adding a freestanding bar or bar cabinet to bring another layer of function to your living room.

3. Carve out a quiet nook for relaxing

What could be better than settling into a cozy oversized recliner in a quiet corner of the living room to relax at the end of the day? Kick back and lift your feet for ultimate in relaxation and enjoy reading the latest novel, play an online game with friends or just chill and enjoy your alone time.

4. Add an accent piece for storage space

Most people feel that they never have enough storage space, so use a living room corner for a display and storage area. If you have a recessed area like an alcove, a well-designed accent cabinet can add style to your living room corner while providing a place to store extra glassware, linens and dishes. You can choose a small chest of drawers, a narrow console or bookcase or a downsized sideboard for added storage.
