The spatial conditions play an important role in the furnishings. No two rooms are the same and you often have to adapt furniture and decorations to the existing room situation. If the tangled cables in the living room are hidden behind a wall, then the floor plan of the room is also changed. To prevent the resulting edges and corners from becoming an eyesore, you can use them functionally and build floating shelves around the corner. This way you create more storage space for picture frames, books and decorative objects. Be inspired by the examples in the article!
Build shelves around the corner and create more storage space
The color duo black and white remains classic and timeless and can be perfectly combineda dark wooden floorcombine. The black, vertically mounted panels serve as bookends and decorative objects at the same time. Thanks to the white color, the boundaries where the horizontal boards meet are barely noticeable.
Create more storage space
In the second example, the colors are used differently: black shelves and white dividers. Since the wall is also painted white, an interesting effect is created for free-floating wall shelves.

Free-floating shelves, attached to the wall without visible fittings, are a particularly elegant way to display decorative items and photos. Whether as a TV shelf or storage space in the study, wall shelves cut a slim figure everywhere.
Wall shelves asconnecting element
If you build shelves around the corner, you can visually unite two areas in the room. For example, if the shelf starts in the hallway and ends in the living room or bedroom. But make sure you need space for it, because in a narrow hallway you don't want to bump into the edges.

Free-floating hanging shelves that are particularly shaped are best installed by a professional. If you want to build your own shelves around the corner, IKEA offers a simple solution. You can achieve the same effect with EKBY shelves and matching wall brackets. Make sure that the ends meet exactly at the corner.

If you have decided on a large shelving system, you can also experiment with the arrangement of the individual elements. Where should the beginning and end of the shelf be?
This corner shelf gets its character not only from the flowing transition of the boards, but also from the beautiful wooden material.

Corner shelves can also be purchased ready-made. The shelf pictured above is called Franklin and is designed by Tronk Design. You can choose between three different types of wood: oak, church or walnut.

If you want to really showcase the wall shelves, choose a contrasting color for the wall. If the shelves are made of light wood, then stone gray is perfect.

Open kitchen shelves loosen up closed cupboards and make the room appear larger and airier. But open shelves are a dust catcher, so it's best to store things there that you use frequently and clean regularly anyway, such as cups and plates.

Kitchen islands today offer enough storage space for all pots, pans and other cooking utensils. Everything closed behind cupboard doors, so the room looks nice and tidy. But if you still have storage space for a few decorative items, you can add shelves around the corner of the island.

You can also add a personal touch to the living room with open shelves, but don't overdo it. A few vases and maybe two or three decorative items - that's all you need.
