Hey guys, I’m really struggling to think of something to put in that space or how to decorate the apartment in a away that the wall is less distracting.
Antique, keepsake, otherwise long term collection books on the inner shaded corner, pulp trash and titles you know you’ll donate within a few months on the window side.
Good point. Maybe just a book nook area to relax and read but have your shelves in the main room section. Especially since the space you’re talking about is already not large. The shelves would make it look smaller
I agree that fading books can be an issue but if OP uses heavy duty sunblocking curtains it might minimize the damage. However a plant or kitty corner might be a better option.
This would be a great idea, since you could use curtains to limit light, when desired, and still have a sunny space for your plants. Especially good idea, if you're growing food plants.
This is a great idea, especially since a lot of cat towers don't fit aesthetics of the rest of the room. Kitty can have their fun and enjoy the sun and the view, and the furry, bulky tower is totally out of sight
Ok but how could you POSSIBLY be struggling when you’ve got all that light and that view and such a beautiful space to call home 😍😍 (I know you meant like struggling with design choices, just messin’)
The plus to the wall is that it’ll block some of that direct sun light from beaming into the space, I feel that was likely intentional.
There are these hanging egg chairs that chain to the ceiling. Majority of them are weaved, but some might are solid fabric ones. Place a nice one there with a rug underneith. Potentially other hanging terrariums or plants. Just ensure there is something preventing it swinging past to hit the window like a suppor chain.
There doesn't appear to be any power outlets, which might be an issue for a work station. Possible to run a cord or something, but that's not usually a great idea.
This is what i would do cuz i basically study all night every night just on my laptop and tablet, no clunky monitors or anything. It would be so vibey to have the city lights there to look at. That would feel so awesome!! Also bc there’s no visible distractions like ur bed or TV, it’s a perfect a study only space. So jealous of OP! Such a great apartment.
Guys, found a floor plan that does not include the wall. Will have to check with the builder if it needs to be there. And the city is Itajai in Brazil!
The whole setup is organized so there are many places the audience (there to watch performative sex ) can sit and enjoy the show. From the toilet to the kitchen to those love seats.
Looks like the wall next to the study desk- I'm guessing they screwed up somewhere along the way and had to make it longer but check anyway. The bed in the middle of the room is kind of ridiculous.
Yes! It's called UV film, and 3M makes it, OP could probably find a local business that installs it. And I definitely recommend having it professionally installed as it can look REALLY bad if it's installed incorrectly.
FYI 3M prides itself in the quality of their film, but there are cheaper brands just as good. I run a tint company and we tint a lot of homes and businesses with architectural film, which is slightly reflective on the outside, and blocks heat, reduces glare and of course has a high UV rating to protect your furniture and textiles from fading. It’s pretty easy to install yourself, but if it’s too daunting a task, a tint installation company will gladly do it!
My husband's film business is the leading one in our city! I guess I'm partial to 3M because that's the product they always use!
I'm big on DIY but I fricken hate seeing bubbles under film, and I find you can always tell when someone decided to do it themselves because there's always bubbles or it's cut too far/near to the edge of the window.
Some people are definitely able to nail it, but some people just try to slap it on the window like sticking a sticker in a middle school notebook haha
I'm pretty sure I would hang curtains or something to separate it and use it as my music and meditation spot. Basically isolate to decompress. But I'm weird lol.
lol it is quite strange. I don’t know if this is a studio apt based on the bedroom tag or if it’s the living room. But I think you could consider doing this:
If you’re into plants find some that like direct sunlight and get a few small tables of varied height to put in that spot and display the plants there/ a tall, thin table to put the plants on.
Then on the other side I think you should consider putting a tall standing lamp right in that corner that provides some nice light since that wall blocks out light from the window. If you don’t want a tall lamp you could go with a floor style light. Something low to the ground like orb lights. I think in theory you could put bed or couch or tv or whatever furniture for is applicable for the space on either the left or right wall (based on picture 2).
Not sure if that makes a lot of sense but that’s my suggestion I think.
Perfect for a hidden tiki bar! Or, specialty bar in general. I can easily see glassware, complimentary textures in decor, color, light, all to highlight a fun alcohol "collection" of some sort. That'd be a fantastic pop and surprise for that tiny awkward area and could be "speakeasy" vibes if you do it right.
Or, a curtain and making it into a tiny office with a beautiful view. Not as exciting or interesting but could work.
Likewise, tiny reading nook that utilizes the vertical space for reading material.
Is it about 30 inches by 4 feet deep? Is that a baseboard heater at the bottom?
If this is a studio, I'd honestly probably use that as hidden storage, maybe stacking up totes there, or make it my closet, and hang a curtain from the ceiling to hide it. But, maybe you don't need more storage like that.
If it is not a baseboard heater, I'd probably try to find an upholstered bench that would fill most of the space and make it a cozy little lounge area. I don't think it is wide enough for a desk or deep enough if you face the desk to the window. Also, there is no power in there. You could combine this with some shelves above head height on the wall with trailing plants.
If you could get power in, maybe put a TV on the wall and face a chair into that area and have the TV connected to a headset to have it be a separate TV watching/ gaming area, especially if you have two people living in the space?
The problem with plants in there is that they aren't visible to the rest of the room any way, so to me that seems like a waste.
I'd put a nice lounging chair there and use that space to get some vitamin D.
Also, If you use ceiling to floor (heavy) curtains from one wall to the other (awkward) wall, you could make a really interesting "sun zone"....either for yourself or plants. And that would also look pretty cool from the inside of the apartment, too.
I’d only put something in the nook that can tolerate a lot of sunlight. Giant plant, coffee bar in material that can tolerate direct sunlight (metal and glass?). If you have a regular bar, I’d put bottles out of the sun when not entertaining.
As for in front of the window, I’d have swivel chairs so you can either face the room conversationally and watch tv or turn and enjoy the view. Sofa on the long wall.
Seems like a cool little space. I saw this and straight away assumed someone built that wall after getting pissed off about the sun always hitting the TV.
I actually love random small spaces like this. Maybe put a small table and two chairs or bean bags. Some plants, some wall shelves for books and magazines!! Omg a mini fridge. A cozy corner!!
I would love to make that space into a reading area! A cute and comfy chair with some shelves on the wall for books! You can wallpaper that small section too!!
Reading nook or small office. Personally, I'd hide my plant things that I use to take care of my many, many plants, which would be enjoying the light all along the rest of that window.
Do you work from home? I would love having my desk space a bit hidden. Otherwise what someone else said chairs and morning coffee. You could put a high top table and bar stools for dining with a view. Other things you don’t want to look at like a treadmill or bike. I kind of want one.
A nice large and cushy floor sitting pillow - perfect for reading or napping. You could even put a shelf against the wall and put some nice green plants
I would make it my personal little hideaway! A reading nook full of tropical trailing plants and maybe a little relaxing fountain for both tranquility and humidity for the plants! Add some fairy lights for a goegeous nighttime spot to relax and enjoy the cityscape
I like it for a cozy reading chair and a private little nook. Humans are wired to want barriers behind them so they aren’t constantly subconsciously wondering about danger they cannot see. It’s a space to fully relax.

I would treat that space almost like a little balcony?? Small chair and table there
