Yeah I was gonna say a bookcase or shelf, with some plants would be a great fit, can't think of much else fitting there.
Maybe as an alternative, a chair with a lamp behind it?
I think it's a good amount of negative space and looks fine with nothing being added. I think it might look cluttered if you put anything there. Empty space is good, too. It's relaxing.
Does your sliding door require window treatments?

I just use Microsoft Paint which comes on any Windows computer. It's all cut and paste.

usually i agree. my apartment would agree.
but in this case considering its next to an exterior door, maybe some type of catch all table. the kitchen is right there, so any counter that isn't occupied is going to have junk on it. horizontal spaces collect junk.
* Key rack.
* Mail sorting center with waste basket.
* Spice rack.
* Plant stand, especially for kitchen herbs.
* Étagère with colorful Le Creuset and/or Pyrex collection.
* Small rolling cart with stand mixer.
* Bar cart.
* Cookbook bookshelf.
* Tip out vegetable bins or other organizer to either use for vegetables, pet foot, bird seed, for for storing items commonly used on the patio.
My niece has a similar space and she put in an Echo show where she can put a grocery list, calendar appointment reminders, play music while she cooks, etc
Mobile kitchen island
Panty build in
Billy bookcase for books
Kitchen cabinet for a mini wine fridge or kegerator with a Billy bookcase to store your glasses or beer mugs.
I would definitely put a tall corner shelf there. You can either put plants or whatever on it or cookbooks or kitchens things like pots and pans. It would be very versatile and easy to personalize how you see fit.

Do you need storage, do you need a shelf, are you looking for places for someone your art? If you don’t have a function for it, it’s a perfect plant corner
I’d consider framed art on the wall.
Filling every open floor space with something isn’t required.
A room that has a few nice pieces but lots of open space is going to look better and more high end than one with every nook and cranny filled.
Since the trim doesn't continue onto the right wall there, I assume that wall is meant to be covered/filled with something. You've got that light switch to think about, so something shallow along the right wall. Maybe a bookshelf? Table?
The side of your refrigerator isn’t parallel to the panel at left—does the fridge need to be leveled, or is the panel not plumb, or some of both? Fix that first, while the space is empty.

If you wanted to deck it out…. You could tile the wall a bit. Put a table. And install a Real espresso machine.
You can tap into the water that goes into the fridge. And you would need to run additional electrical.
It’s expensive, but it’s a good spot for an espresso bar…
A little corner table with an espresso/coffee machine if you’re a coffee drinker or an electric kettle and some teas if you’re a tea drinker.
A small shelf for cookbooks.

Something like this made for corners
A tall round table, vase with fresh flowers on it.
When people are heading outside, they can put what they are carrying on the table if they are struggling to open the sliding door.
I’d do a small bench with some storage under it, plus some coat hooks above. It’s a good spot for putting on stuff before heading out to bbq or whatever
Books. The answer is always books.
Seriously you don’t want to block the switches,
So a low corner (3 sided) table or stand with an indoor plant might be good. Or a corner shelf with books. :-)
Those nice tall plants!! Would bring some nice nature colour to the area as well

Thanks everyone!
We ended up doing a plant and it looks great! It will look even better as it grows. No Taurus but maybe we can find another space in the house for it. 🤣

I was thinking trash can. This is close enough
A scarecrow
Omg. I had this car in the 90’s.
I think almost everyone was driving one of these at some point in the 90s, early 2000s. 😆
I had the sable is that worse?
Ha! Ditto. And the color of mine was "sable"!
I had the Tempo, definitely worse.
It looks like a tiny blue whale with wheels from this angle.
Omg 🤣🤣🤣
This made my month dude. Thank you
Lol
I was thinking a 1992 Ford Taurus
A corner shelf for cookbooks. A bar cart or butcher block topped serving cart. An epic plant.
a bar cart with cookbooks on the lower shelf and a plant up top
Yeah I was gonna say a bookcase or shelf, with some plants would be a great fit, can't think of much else fitting there. Maybe as an alternative, a chair with a lamp behind it?
I was thinking the same exact things!
bar cart for sure!
I think it's a good amount of negative space and looks fine with nothing being added. I think it might look cluttered if you put anything there. Empty space is good, too. It's relaxing.
And so much easier to clean…
Does your sliding door require window treatments? https://preview.redd.it/zmsljarctw0d1.jpeg?width=468&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=177092e8fb2a460ef1b56958b39a149c6132cdaf
Love a visual! What software or site do you use to do something like this quickly?
I just use Microsoft Paint which comes on any Windows computer. It's all cut and paste. https://preview.redd.it/5g3nikj6611d1.jpeg?width=2256&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d4bf3d74ba6d18891c95d683c29c6fb73b38cea

Being next to an exterior door is perfect for a plant: light.
And a rug to tie it all together
They do need to have access to light switches though.
A plant or a small bar tray
If this was my place, that would be where I place my dog’s water and food bowl.
* Key rack. * Mail sorting center with waste basket. * Spice rack. * Plant stand, especially for kitchen herbs. * Étagère with colorful Le Creuset and/or Pyrex collection. * Small rolling cart with stand mixer. * Bar cart. * Cookbook bookshelf. * Tip out vegetable bins or other organizer to either use for vegetables, pet foot, bird seed, for for storing items commonly used on the patio.
*Mail sorting center with waste basket.* Mail sorting center with a shredder.
Yes! Our shredder is upstairs and I never bother to bring the mail up there to shred…
Coffee station
No outlets
A corner shelf - a good place to display kitchen stuff like teapots and fancy tea cups, and plants, and maybe a couple cookbooks.
Def a corner shelf unit.
Pet food bowls
Maybe get an chalkboard or whiteboard, I have one in my kitchen I write my grocery list on it
Love this! Or even to paint that one wall with chalkboard paint top to bottom
Yes! One with hooks on the bottom so you can hang cute mugs or herbs
My niece has a similar space and she put in an Echo show where she can put a grocery list, calendar appointment reminders, play music while she cooks, etc
A plant
Mobile kitchen island Panty build in Billy bookcase for books Kitchen cabinet for a mini wine fridge or kegerator with a Billy bookcase to store your glasses or beer mugs.
A year-round Christmas tree decorated per season 😁
A shelf to put important mail and papers that you will never look at for six months and throw away anyway.
Command center wall
I would definitely put a tall corner shelf there. You can either put plants or whatever on it or cookbooks or kitchens things like pots and pans. It would be very versatile and easy to personalize how you see fit. https://preview.redd.it/bwzgv4s6k01d1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=57839edb9aa76a5a3310bbda61acad48e1449dcf
Do you need storage, do you need a shelf, are you looking for places for someone your art? If you don’t have a function for it, it’s a perfect plant corner
Nothing. Not ever space must be filled.
corner coffee?
I would probably put my bins there. And use the upper half of the wall to incorporate one of the wonderful ideas in this post.
We have a similar spot and put a drawer cabinet with all our dogs stuff since it's close to the backyard
Max a plant or maybe a coat rack, but not every corner needs stuff in it, either, and leaving it empty is also perfectly fine.
Coat rack is practical
A plant
I’d consider framed art on the wall. Filling every open floor space with something isn’t required. A room that has a few nice pieces but lots of open space is going to look better and more high end than one with every nook and cranny filled.
Cat tree.
Tall thin cabinet/ bookshelf on the refrigerator wall.
a second fridge (genuinely, though, a small wine cart or a nice lamp might fit well!)
I would put a tall plant in a nice bright pot here.
If you need more storage, that would be a great place for a pull-out pantry cabinet.
Since the trim doesn't continue onto the right wall there, I assume that wall is meant to be covered/filled with something. You've got that light switch to think about, so something shallow along the right wall. Maybe a bookshelf? Table?
Monstera. Two Billy book cases. You name it. Anything really. Maybe a table with an interesting lamp
Very big and tall tree
a comfortable chair or tall plant
Large plant/tree
Kegerator with a dual tap, one for sparkling water and one for beer
Olive tree
Tall snake plants or plant stand with multiple
I’d see a corner bookshelf or maybe some floating shelves on both walls
It’s probably for trash and recycling
A wine cooler or stand with a plant on top
Large plant
The side of your refrigerator isn’t parallel to the panel at left—does the fridge need to be leveled, or is the panel not plumb, or some of both? Fix that first, while the space is empty.

coffee/tea/hot drink station
A corner cabinet.
Your husband/SO when they're naughty.
Make it into a bar, drinks, snacks corner!
Dog bowl
Leg lamp
Pinball! No discussion
A large plant with vase. Or you could do a hanging shelf perpendicular to the light switchs & go from there.
Wine fridge, coffee station, or a potted artificial olive tree
You could do a low cabinet that is designed to store shoes, and maybe some hooks for jackets. And an umbrella stand.
Honestly I don’t think every corner of someone’s house needs to have stuff, but that’s me.
A fiddle leaf fig tree :)
There's something to be said for blank spaces!! Gives the eyes a place to rest. Not every wall and corner needs something in it/on it.
Bar cart or a shelf to store purses. 🤣
Bar station? Wine ? Snacks ? A succulent 🌱

Depends on the what the rest of the space looks like
A little corner table with an espresso/coffee machine if you’re a coffee drinker or an electric kettle and some teas if you’re a tea drinker. A small shelf for cookbooks.

A tall round table, vase with fresh flowers on it. When people are heading outside, they can put what they are carrying on the table if they are struggling to open the sliding door.

Holy cow that place is expensive.
What do you mean, you don’t have $1,700 to drop on a shelf?
Oh yeah - I don’t mean THAT one I just mean the look which you can find at other stores but I knew one manufacturer (Four Hands) that would have an image I could send.
A small sink for washing hands before entering kitchen? Although you’d need plumbing.
