corner great room finishing help

Okay we’ve moved our desk/table into the office and now I’ve quite a big spot to fill. Initially we had a puzzle table here but it didn’t get used enough. I love the space of it being open but feel like it needs a something!

Bench?

I also want to hide the plug more. Willing to move the plant and/or change the plant stand and planning to get a new plant for empty planter. Rest of the room will not be changing.

    Perhaps floor to ceiling drapery will warm up the room then you won't need anything else.

    We love it with no drapes. Doesn’t suit our style to have them. Prefer bright open windows

    Any ideas? Other than drapes

    I agree with the drape idea, if it’s not your style, maybe just simple dummy panels. They will warm up the space visually and you could bring in any texture, colour you want?

    Why not continue the look of your end tables with a variety of raw posts of wood, 5 or 6 or 7, some topped with a nice plants, maybe vines, maybe succulents, and maybe (maybe) a glass ball or even a reflecting ball?

    Or I might do a very abundant hanging plant, , or even just a round table, could be faux concrete, covered with plants, terrariums, etc. Just don’t cram everything tight against the wall. I’m the kind of person who might put a floor sculpture or vase there as well, or lean a Zulu shield against the corner wall among an arrangement of plant stands of varying heights.

    A stool, basket, another plant. Three will look better than two:)

    With all those windows and light, why not build or have built, a long low shelf at windowsill level and fill it with all kinds of plants of different heights and foliage? If that's too elaborate, then add several interesting plants to the one you have in that corner. It looks pretty lonesome.

    Love the little raw wood stool as well:

    Here's a link to just one of many Etsy craftspeople who can build low plant shelves to specifications. You could have the shelves stained to match your raw wood end tables.

    I think just bigger fuller plants in 3 heights with matching pots.Sort of like this but I would do 3

    Nice space and windows! I would build a low (under the sill) built-in bookshelf - along the wall with the two side windows. The top can be used for plants :)

    Now I’m leaning more toward a bench and a tall tree or taller plant on one side. What about this bench?

    Reviving this thread as the beautiful money tree we had in the corner was killed by our dog sitter. Now it’s empty again and I feel back to the drawing board. I cannot decide if I should go with another plant/tree set up, bench or comfy chair for reading. If I go with a chair is it too close to the living room set up though? What colour and fabric would work?

    I’d go with a large spiky (but not sharp) plant, such as a dracaena, in an interesting pot or basket. That’s it. It would look great in front of the windows — organic, but sculptural. I think it would fit the style of your room well.



    If it still feels too bare to you, then yes, a very narrow bench. But I’d try a big tree alone first.

    We had a big money tree and it died. I’m hesitant to throw another couple hundred at a plant

  • 3 years ago

    Ok. In the post before mine, I thought you were considering another plant.

  • 3 years ago

    It’s on the list but this will now be the third time I’m replacing something in that spot. So it’s getting pricey! Maybe I should go with a fake plant?

    I have zero issues wth faux trees. I have an old faux yucca (on real cedar) that was my dad’s and it’s a prized possesion. I consider it an art form.

    That is stunning!

    I do think green is so beautiful in that spot. I’ll work on finding something

    Thank you!

    There are so many beautiful faux trees available nowadays.
