3 starting points to be considered
Floating shelves
If you are looking for practical ways of using the space in your room, we suggest you choose this type of corner shelves. They will both save you space and add a new point of interest in any room you choose to integrate it in. Regarding the decoration, you can opt for a minimalist way and use this space as a decorative one only. On the other hand, you could consider things you use on a daily basis, such as books or journals, if there is no other place to put them. Another compulsory element of such a setting is flowers. They would not only add an exotic effect but also bring a touch of freshness to this corner. Such a type of shelves would go best in a bedroom or living room, especially for the part of the room that is used as a working space.
Floating acrylic shelves
These shelves will fit perfectly any interior design of a bathroom. Due to this particular material, they will match any type of tiles and will be practical in use. When it comes to decoration, you could go two ways: use this place to offer your bathroom a point of interest, or as a usual shelf and store there all the things that you need in a bathroom. It all depends on your intention. It should be noted that you should not go too extra in any of the cases.
Corner shelf for a real bookworm
Do you enjoy reading books and looking for ways to integrate them perfectly into the room decor? Consider yourself lucky. Firstly, because reading is a perfect hobby, and, secondly, because we have perfect ideas to make books part of your personal space. Either you have a lot of books, or you have only started collecting them, there are others still to come, and this is why we suggest you arrange a larger space for them. You could opt for a corner cabinet with bookshelves to store as many books as you want or a particular number of corner shelves to put your books on. Here we talk about books only. Therefore, it is not a complex system when it comes to decoration. You just have to arrange the books in a particular way. Whether you accept it or not, the variety of books is already a decoration as the array of different colors and titles offer the room a new sparkle.
Diamond sparkle in your room
Suppose your room reflects a modern style and you would like to emphasize it through a corner shelf. In this case, we suggest you consider a combination of metallic gold and wood for the shelf itself and various decorative elements of the same material, such as a framed landscape, a candle, or any other units that would fill the space. At the same time, if you would like to use it practically, opt for a wooden diamond shelf, and fill it with as many things as you want, but don’t forget to balance them. It should be noted that the last option is more peculiar for your children’s room or the kitchen, where a lot of useful things can be stored in a stylish way.
Bring in something new
If you would like to come up with an original way of decorating this space, we suggest you consider unusual-design corner shelves. There are various possibilities you could choose as long as they match the room style and refer to the practical use of the space. In this sense, you could decorate such a shelf with units that contribute only to the beauty of this setting or the ones that you use daily, such as books or journals.
A touch of marble
This material is usually used in the bathroom, although it would not spoil the image of a living room as well. Due to the complexity of the shelves themselves, the decoration will require a minimalist approach. If it is a bathroom, you could put in place some cosmetic products that would emphasize the use of the shelf yet reveal interesting patterns. At the same time, if you consider this type of corner shelf for a living room, we suggest you decorate it with a few units that would balance the picture, especially ones to be used only as a decoration. It should be noted that such a shelf would fit a kitchen well, especially if it already has other elements of the same material. In this case, consider putting in place only decorative units, such as flowers or beautiful mugs that would complete the picture.
Ladder shelf
This interesting design will bring a new point of interest to your room and serve as a decorative element itself. Furthermore, there are two types of ladder shelves you could opt for. If you choose the one from the first two photos below, you better integrate them into a living room. When it comes to decoration, the same concept as in the previous examples applies here. You can fill the place with units that would emphasize the beauty of the shelves or the ones that will also be of use. On the other hand, if you opt for the shelf from the last photo, we suggest you integrate it into a bedroom, for instance, your child’s room. It will play as a new attractive spot that can also be used to store particular things.
Industrial influence
This style will match perfectly any interior design with elements from the industrial and rustic design. A shelf of this particular style will serve as a decoration itself. Therefore, there is no need to over-decorate it with other elements. Furthermore, even the ones you put in place should be as simple as possible, such as candles or a few books that would match the color palette of the shelf.
Corner cabinet
A corner shelf can as well be a cabinet, as the glass material that the cabinet is made of makes it look like a usual shelf. It is peculiar to a dining room or a living room, as there can be stored units that would serve as a decorative part of the room or even be used occasionally on special occasions.
Modern corner shelf
If the design of your house is a modern one and you would like to emphasize this concept within the decor of the shelf, we suggest you opt, first of all, for a shelf that would draw your attention via its modern design. Of course, you have to decorate it accordingly. Consider a minimalist style as regards the color and the variety of decorative units. You are probably wondering what can be so interesting in such a simple structure for a shelf. The answer is simplicity itself.
