Is there any way the sofas can be moved to allow enough space for a person to walk between them? Just a foot or two would be enough. I had a similar space and I put a bookshelf against one wall, some pretty storage boxes for my hobby bits against the other and a floor lamp between them. Nothing which requires regular access (or that can't be reached by leaning over the edge of a sofa if necessary) but having that small bit of space between them makes it feel much less cramped and it's easier to get in there to clean too!

Edit: drinks cabinet also an option!

Hello Maxine,

A floor lamp surely will make that empty space look better. If it was my Living Room, I would add lots of framed images or artwork to make that corner look busier and take the attention away of that gap.

How about a vase or an ornament?

Good luck with your Project!

Hey! How about switching some bits around and having a gallery wall? Maybe we could help you out?

Why the belief that all space must be filled? Leave some space and call it minimalism. :)

If the sofas can be moved apart a little bit then it would help, either with or without anything in the corner. It is actually the sofas being so close to each other that causes the corner to look a little like a 'void' as it is like a separate hole rather than part of the floor area due to being boxed in. It may be a case of needing less in the room rather than more, so that one or both sofas can move a bit. (can't see the rest of the room to see how that could work)

Big ornamental plant. We bought one 5 years ago height about 40 cm- look at it now

I'd hang a cool plant from the ceiling that gives interest as well, or perhaps a corner shelf with some plants, pictures and interesting stuff above it. And then the new light will create some interesting shadows and highlight the greenery. And move the sofas apart if you can.

I would put a huge gloss top table in the corner at the same height or a little lower, than your sofas. It would really suit a large bow table lamp with a wide coolie shade, and a couple of objet d'art to finish it off. Don't look at the colours below, I'm showing you the arrangement only. Based on your own room, choose a white gloss table, and add a lamp similar to the one I'm showing below in scale, but try to tie the colour of the shade in with your floor, to add warmth to a cool scheme on your walls and sofas.. You can't go wrong. Classic and classy. Let me know what you decide! x

Nadia Reid Interior Design and larysaz are spot on! I think you need something big to make the corner/space disappear. As similar table to what you have, round would be good but about twice as big. Something with height ... either a tall plant or a tall lamp (something colourful would work) and books as suggested. Some texture would also be good as you have a lot of angles already so the plant as per larysaz's photo with the round edges would be great. (nothing too spiky)

Maybe a larger round lamp table would fill the space in a useful and smart way. You could then put a lamp, books and plant on it. See pic for example.

Beware of putting in a large table that fills the space unless you can move the sofas apart otherwise you will be creating a dark hole under it that cannot be accessed even as storage without pulling sofas out of the way each time and will be a pain to clean.

Maxine, Hi - very interesting discussions! Have you thought about a MellowDuck pod? You could put one either in the existing table space to brighten it up ........or put a plant there and have a large Muscovy pod inbetween the two sofas as a coffee table/footstool ......or add some funky taller pods at the sofa arms for drinks etc - some pics to give you an idea of what I mean! We have 7 shapes, 5 fabrics and loads of colours to choose from or you can go completely bespoke and use your own fabric....good luck with all your plans!

I don't think the space the issue. It's the overly large sofas that are the problem.
