8 Easy Ways to Work those Tricky Corners!

Sometimes, we might end up with an apartment with a floorplan design that defines all logic; imagine landing up with a fan or an arrow-shaped HDB (hint: read this Bizarre HDB Floorplans which will leave you Flabbergasted post!).

While an unusual shaped floorplan might appear artistic and makes a killer first impression for our guests, it is at the expense of our usable space. Nevertheless, with some ingenuity and creativity, here are 8 ways for you to work that tricky odd corners and reclaim some of that odd pocket of space!

#1. Crave out a study nook

Turn the awkward pocket of space into a cosy study corner with a slim study table with drawers, complete with a stylish desk lamp. Build a half height glass partition for more privacy in a small space and even create an illusion of a bigger room.

#2. Create a distraction

Anything that captures your attention will draw your eyes away from the awkwardly shaped room. Case in point? The strikingly luxurious, pristine white freestanding bathtub is the first thing you will notice in this arrow-shaped bathroom.

#6. Jazz up with wall stencils

Sometimes, the odd corner might be too narrow for any customized storage cabinet solutions. However, instead of hiding it, you can make that wall stand out with wall stencils!
