25 Creative Corner Bed Ideas Worthy of Being Shown

Corner bed ideas can provide a way to display furniture that focuses on functionality and not symmetry. While symmetrical designs can be alluring to those who love organization, a corner bed design leaves more room for movement and helps make the most of useable space.

This furniture placement is especially helpful when decorating a child’s room and leaves plenty of floor space to play. Once the bed is placed in the corner, start adding wall décor. An accent wall is a fun way to bring life to the space, but gallery walls, personalized lettering, or whimsical accents can be equally attractive. A single nightstand may be all you can fit in this newly refreshed area, but because of the furniture arrangement, a table lamp or wall-mounted sconce is enough to provide the corner with plenty of light. Explore the benefits of asymmetrical furniture placement with corner bed ideas from our gallery below.

The most effective piece to include around your TV is an entertainment console that will add a decorative aspect without stealing all the attention. You can use these pieces to display entertainment-related items or create a more refined and attractive look using décor. The placement of a TV is a decorative choice on its own. Mounting the TV above a fireplace mantel will help create an automatic and possibly unintentional feature wall.
