Awkward Corner
Help!
I'm at the very beginning stages of a kitchen renovation. We are running into a layout dilemma which I need a bit of guidance with! See the attached photo.
The window in the corner comes about a foot from the floor. The previous owners covered half the window to create more counter space, but I find this very awkward! Any ideas on what I should do when we put in a new kitchen?

Comments (4)Two suggestions: a floor lamp instead of the table, and perhaps a basket with some rolled up blankets/throws (handy for when once our one week of summer has passed!!) However I'd prefer a much larger square table to fill the space, almost entirely, maybe with a decorative tray for your phone/remotes and space for your lamp, flowers or a plant etc. Given you won't see the legs I'd be looking on ebay or Facebook marketplace for something you can upcycle to suit....See MoreAwkward bedroom corner - any clever ideas?

Comments (26)Minnie101. I hadn't considered that as an option. It is a smart idea. My main problem would be that there is a radiator in-front of one of the windows which then would be directly behind any bed-head. Also there is no power points on that particular wall for bedside lighting/phone charging etc. but tbf that can be solved. It is worth some consideration as it would free up the long continuous wall for a wardrobe...See More- 9 years ago
Thank you everyone for the responses!! These are very helpful. A couple of notes...
These photos are from the previous owners. None of this is mine and can all be changed (i.e. the cuckoo clock, chalkboard, etc.)
The opposite wall with the cuckoo clock is where the bathroom is. So I'm not sure a shelf would work there? See attached photo and let me know your thoughts.
Thank you again!! Its so helpful to hear ideas from others with experience.

Hi Abby! Yes! Here is a photo of the other side. FYI, for the wall that surrounds the refrigerator, we are planning to knock that wall down to make it feel more open. If we are unable to do that, we are planning to make that space a walk in pantry.
