Living rooms can quickly become cluttered with remotes, books, toys, and multimedia items, creating a chaotic living environment. One of the best ways to reduce clutter is to install a shelving unit. Corner shelves provide increased storage capacity and organization for your home, especially when floor space is limited. They can also improve the décor, enhancing the style and atmosphere of your home.

Free Standing 5 Tier Corner Ladder Shelf
Pyramid-shaped corner shelving units add both style and practical function to your living room. Opt for a model with a weathered oak construction to match this type of shelving to a variety of home décor choices, from rustic to modern.
The graduated tiered design means the shelves become progressively smaller as they rise, so you can use the bottom shelf for displaying heavy books, while the higher shelves are suitable for everything from candles to coin collections.
Diamond Metal and Wood Corner Shelves for the Living Room
A diamond-shaped corner wall shelf can organize your home and improve its style. With a series of five cascading shelves built into a gold metal frame, these types of shelving units add to the aesthetic of your home, especially if you’re interested in a modern or coastal vibe.
While good for displaying art pieces, books, and framed photos, you can also try showcasing seashells, driftwood, and other natural artwork.
Modern 3 shelf Corner Bookcase
A combination corner shelf for your living room and cabinet can provide you with several options for both a decorative display and storage, all while maintaining a compact footprint. The design cleverly combines a square cabinet with wedge-shaped upper shelves.
Fitting snugly into the corner of a room, this type of shelving unit allows you to store household goods in the lower drawers and cabinet while providing shelves for an open display. Consider placing potted plants, vases, or lamps on the upper shelves to tie the unit together.
As some shelving units can become unstable, consider using an anti-tip kit depending on the weight distribution.
Industrial Handcrafted Mango Wood 3 Shelf Corner Bookcase
If you need a shelving unit that exudes an industrial design, a three-shelf bookcase made from mango wood and iron is a perfect choice. Powder-coated iron slats and wood shelves combine to provide you with a modern, functional system that you can add to the corners of your home for a chic look.
These shelves are also highly decorative, reinforcing an industrial aesthetic and complementing rustic ideas or brickwork. Solid mango wood features unique colors and wood grain patterns, so every shelf is different.
Glass Corner Shelf for the Living Room
For a modern and stylish alternative to traditional wood, consider tempered glass and stainless steel. It’s easy to clean and maintain, in addition to its aesthetic qualities.
Ideally, the glass shelves should be paired with stainless-steel legs, preventing corrosion and providing a strong, stable platform. A system that allows you to assemble it easily without the use of tools would be even better.
For a chic, high-contrast decor aesthetic, try placing painted ceramic vases or metallic sculptures on the shelves for a truly artistic combination.
5 Shelf Corner Stand for Living Room
A wooden corner stand for the living room is sometimes all you need to use unused corner space while adding a sleek, stylish piece of furniture to your home. If you have a household with energetic pets or small children, opt for wedge-shaped shelves with rounded edges; they fit perfectly into the room’s corner without posing a safety hazard.
Showcase a flower arrangement, figurines, framed photos, or other collectibles.

Trinkets, family heirlooms, or framed photographs stand out on these types of shelves. The compact, mounted design is perfect for rooms with limited space since you can also store items under the unit. Look for a unit made from engineered-wood construction with melamine coating to ensure long-lasting functionality.
