What To Do With An Empty Corner In The Bedroom
I need your help, friends! What should I do with this corner of my bedroom?
{I know you're jealous of my super-awesome drafting software, huh?}
So, when you enter my bedroom, the dresser is on the wall to the right of you. The wall to the left is taken up completely by closet doors. The bed pretty much takes up the rest of the space. So, there's this empty spot in the corner and I kind of hate it.
I don't really want to block the window, but I think SOMETHING needs to go there! I originally had this bookcase in there, but it looked way too crowded (sorry I don't have a picture of it IN the bedroom), and it blocked the window.
Right now, I have a cheapo floor mirror propped up in this corner (a future project - I'd like to add molding and put it behind the door).
I'd love to get the cable box off the dresser, so maybe a little console table with a mirror over it? Maybe a vanity table? The cats also like to sit in front of the window, so whatever is there needs to have a cat-friendly surface, otherwise they'll just knock everything over.

You don't need wall to wall furniture....it will only make your space feel smaller. How about a multi tiered plant stand with smaller plants, as to not overpower the space, but bring some natural appeal to the room, you could leave a couple of tiers empty for your cat. Also, anytime you can incorporate mirrors in a small space, it will help open up the space, create more light, and give the illusion of more soace.

I would put the bed in the center of the wall where the TV is. Then put the nightstand on the non-window side next to the bed and a small open "nightstand" on the window side of bed. Then put your dresser where ever it fits. If it doesn't fit, find something that's not as deep to use as a dresser. Shelves with baskets/boxes... Have fun!
