Six ideas to help fill dead space in your living room
Take a long look around your living room. Are there any random gaps between pieces of furniture? Awkward spaces? Useless corners? That, my friend, is dead space.
While it is relatively normal to have empty areas in your living room, there is nothing more annoying than when there’s a gap in the room that is too small for a piece of furniture yet too big to go unnoticed. Here are six ideas on how you can fill that dead space:

- Monstera
- Fiddle-leaf fig plant
These leafy greens are undoubtedly the perfect items to shove in the corner of a room and guarantee to bring life and energy to the room – be sure to style your plant by placing it in a big straw basket for a more bohemian, up-to-date look.
Make a minibar
A modern, space-filling trend we are obsessed with at the moment is the Bar on wheels!
Pop a small trolley filled with drinks, glasses, cocktail shakers, and an ice bucket in the corner of your room, and voila! Your own minibar. This is a great way to fill the space in a room and ensure you never miss happy hour again.
Swap out your old sofa with a larger one to fill dead space and awkward gaps in your living room. Take a look at our Large Corner Sofas – these comfortable L-shaped sofas will bend around the corner of your room perfectly.
A small rug is always a good way to make a room appear fuller by covering any empty floor spaces. Perhaps consider placing a chair/bean bag on top of the rug to create an extra seating area. We recommend buying a faux fur rug for a more textured and creative look.
Wallpaper is a great way to add texture and depth to a room without physically filling it. Consider placing an accent wall (one wall that is a different colour from the rest) or just a patterned wallpaper on the side of the living room that looks ‘emptier’ than the other in order to create balance and divert your attention from dead space.
Standing lamps are all the rage at the moment! If you want to add a bit of character to your room, invest in a large, arched standing lamp. This statement piece allows light to be cast at a higher level, brightening the room and looking good while doing it! Layered lighting will balance your living room and create a more cosy, intimate ambiance.
