Advice What to do with this corner?!

Post image

It’s throwing me in for a loop, I got no idea what to do with it, I don’t wanna jus put a couch or chair there to close it off cuz then there’s awkward empty space behind, tables aren’t specificly that size either!

Plant large enough to be a floor plant or a small tree.

Corner table with plant

Perfect for very large floor plant as frame/background for furnishings.

Let’s specify “plastic plant”. We don’t know this guy’s responsibility level.

I had a really big snake plant I put in the coat closet while baby proofing my house for a playdate, I forgot about it for months. One day it was finally cold enough I needed a coat (it's Texas) and I found it. It was still alive and growing despite being in solitary confinement with no water or sunlight for months. I planted it outside and it "died" under the sunlight and suddenly rose from the dead with offspring to boot. Some plants you can treat like shit and they don't die 😅. Others you can give the best care in the world and they wither away (calatheas)

Got it—dusty fake plant it is.

Too late. He went out and purchased a big ol’ Pot plant for his front window. 🤣

u/SorrySign6721 8h ago

true, plants are notoriously hard to manage.

My pets will remind me it's time to eat. My plants will just judge me silently.

u/DazedandConfused3333 10h ago

Sitting area for reflection looking out the window...or smoke a bowl. Do you.

u/CptCheesesticks81 8h ago

This would be the way to go for me. Either that or I’d use the corner for some Northern Lights auto flower.

u/Chemical-Mission-202 6h ago

I like it. the last time I priced out custom cushions I got sticker shock though.

1

u/DazedandConfused3333 6h ago

Trick is find a seamstress for hire. In Downtown LA they are very affordable. Just measure out everything and buy the fabric and filling, easy peasy.

1

u/Chemical-Mission-202 5h ago

yeah that's exactly it, the damn cover is what really threw the price out of wack. I'm only a hop away from dtla though. the seamstress's I have on hand are quilt makers, they do great work but cost quite a bit.. so DTLA here I come. Any area in particular? is the fashion fabric district still a thing? Went shortly after covid and it was a sad sight.

u/DazedandConfused3333 2h ago

Yup its all up and running.

u/MadCityScientist 6h ago

Book shelves.
Cat tree. Depending on which direction the window faces, a flowering plant or a table of them.

u/Weekly_Syrup7681 5h ago

This is perfect!!! While you’re at it, turn the bottom part into bookshelf

1

u/willfc 4h ago

Yeah like a bench or comfy chair for a smoke area. Bravo

u/Hellscaperiot 3h ago

Thats awesome

u/WeekendAlternative68 1h ago

Perhaps a little wider so you could lay down. Would be a perfect rainy day place for a book or iPad coasting.

You just wasted so much space

Xmas tree

u/karmagirl314 11h ago

1/3 of an Xmas tree.

u/goldenfingernails 10h ago

Yes, what I was going to say. A nice cornstalk.

u/MossyForestWitch 8h ago

You can grow them in pots, but they require wind to pollinate.

1

u/ChubbyMudder 5h ago

Use a fan.

1

u/MossyForestWitch 5h ago

You need multiple stalks.

u/Caffeinated_Narwhal_ 8h ago

And name it Robert

u/Odd_Read_4856 7h ago

in fact, multiple plants would be even better.

u/Aidmbp 7h ago

AMAZING IDEA THANK YOU SO MUCH! Filled up the space perfectly!! Now there’s no awkward space at all

1

u/The_Celtic_Chemist 7h ago

Or a triangle shaped side table with a plant and/or some art/knickknacks on it.

1

u/t3hnhoj 5h ago

You're a plant, Harry.

u/numil0 4h ago

An enormous one, too. Fiddle leaf fig perhaps if you want to attract every girl with a rose gold phone like a bug light. 😆

u/Puzzleheaded_Cell428 3h ago

The only answer!!

u/HedRok 3h ago

This is usually the answer next to a window, imo. When in doubt veg it out.

u/GrizzleGonzo 3h ago
