The Lonely Corner in the Room
The Lonely Corner in the Room
We all have those awkward lonely corners in our homes.
How can you make the most of those corners?
What do you put in a corner of a room?
How to make the most of your space?
- Create additional seating
- Add a desk
- Try a window seat
- What about floor lamps or a plant to lighten up the corner
- Perhaps a corner chair to create a reading nook
- Or a bedroom dresser
- And extra shelving
Last year, like for so many, it was so unexpected what happened.
My home had become my workplace and my work started encroaching on my living space.
The furniture for the exhibition Adjust/Adapt 21, originated from a couple of designs, that I was designing for my own home, a small flat.
Although, I already use my home as an office, I hadn’t made it comfortable to use in that way.
I needed somewhere to put my laptop away at the end of the day. Then I could sit at my dining table for dinner and relax in my lounge in the evening.
The piece of furniture I designed was to be made using wood from my selection of off cuts, I’d been hoarding. The designs were created with this in mind, to keep the cost down.
My favourite style is functional art and I’d just started to focus on this more in my work at the end of 2019.
I wanted to create a piece that was fun, creative and functional for my lonely corner in the room.
If you've been inspired by my designs and would like something unique for your home.
