I bought this cabinet for more storage in my kitchen but because of outlet I can’t center it on wall so I’m not sure what to do with corner? Maybe add small table and stools and open shelving? Or just leave it.. thanks for advice ahead of time!

Chalkboard doors.. it’s not paint lol

Small space ugh

    Triangular shaped/corner bookcase, very tall potted plant, tall floor lamp, staggered shelving, etc.

    Why can't you place it in front of outlet? Most furniture usually falls in front of outlets.

    Hi. Just caddie-corner the cute stool in the corner. Poof! done.

  • My vote is for plants! Real ones that clean the air. Plant stand with 3 plants.

    You could look for an old chair at a thrift store, paint it to match your colors, and put a smaller plant on the seat. I use old chairs for plant stands all the time. And, if you incorporate your color scheme, or maybe a pop of color (I see a lot of black and stainless steel in your kitchen)...maybe a bright red, mustard yellow, or even deep turquoise or green. Then a cute pot with a plant. Makes the corner a standout instead of a hidden space. If that seems like too much work, a tall corn plant or umbrella tree plant. Both are fairly easy to grow and will fill the empty spot.

    Obviously this is a kitchen area. My suggestion would be to make a shelving unit that would hold produce. You can make it as big or small as you'd like, have extra storage and still have room to hang a plant if you'd like. And you could place a nifty candle or Nick Nack on top of the shelving/boxes.
