Curate Your Corners: 5 Styling Tricks to Make Small Spaces Shine

Curate Your Corners: 5 Styling Tricks to Make Small Spaces Shine

Because every home has that one awkward little space… waiting to become beautiful.

Corners get a bad rap.

Too small for furniture. Too awkward for art. Too forgettable for attention.

But here’s a secret: well-styled corners are the quiet MVPs of great interior design. When thoughtfully curated, they not only complete a room — they add depth, texture, and surprise. Whether it’s a lonely nook in your hallway or that bare spot by the sofa, here are 5 styling tricks (and a few perfect pieces from Reposing) to help those corners shine.

1. Mirror, Mirror in the Corner

Small space? Bounce the light.

Tip: Lean a tall mirror against the wall or mount a round one slightly off-centre to reflect natural light and add instant airiness.

Reposing Pick:

Washed Wood Round Framed Mirror – Soft tones, subtle rustic charm, and perfect for visually expanding the space.

 

🪴 2. Add a Pedestal Moment

If your corner doesn’t do anything — make it a display zone.

Tip: Use a slim side table or pedestal to elevate a sculptural vase, floral arrangement, or seasonal decor.

Reposing Pick:

Copgrove Collection Pedestal Side Table – Tall, elegant, and ideal for curated styling without bulk.

🌿 3. The Green Trick (Faux or Real)

Nothing brings a corner to life faster than greenery.

Tip: Use trailing faux foliage or a tall floral arrangement in a beautiful vase or pot to fill vertical space.

Reposing Pick:

Green Viburnum Spray + Darcy Urn Stone Vase – A textured, calming combo that works even in shadowy corners.

🕯 4. Layer the Light

Corners are perfect for ambient lighting — especially the glow that feels intentional, not overhead.

Tip: Add a statement table lamp or a floor lantern for warmth and evening charm.

Reposing Pick:

Antique Gold Marching Hares Lamp with Velvet Shade – Adds personality and a soft glow in one swoop.

🎴 5. Create a Vignette with Vessels

Small spaces don’t need large items — they need detail. Grouping smaller pieces makes a corner feel styled, not stuffed.

Tip: Use groups of three for vases, candles, or small ceramics — vary the heights.

Reposing Pick:

Set of Three Heart Shape Stone Dishes – Add texture and softness, especially on shelves or console corners.

✨ Final Thought: Corners Deserve Character

That forgotten little pocket in your hallway or bedroom? It doesn’t need clutter. It needs curation.

And when done right, that small space becomes a storytelling moment — a place for light, texture, movement, and pause.
Because a well-loved home pays attention to the quiet places, too.
