If you have a corner storage cabinet or plan to buy one, you may see it as nothing more than another piece of furniture in the room. In all actuality, you could make that the focal point of the space if you plan things properly. A corner unit is unique in the sense that sits diagonally in the room. When most of your elements lie in line with the walls, it only makes sense to highlight the one piece that does not. Below are a few tips to help you make the most out of your corner cabinet.
If you have a television in the room, a corner cabinet could be the perfect display for it. You of course need a cabinet that will be big and strong enough to house the TV, but that should not be a problem for most modern day flat screens. Consider, however, the height of the cabinet in this case because you want the area for the television to be at eye level when people are sitting in the room. If you have all of this in order, the rest should simply be a matter of installation.
If you do not plan on having a television on your cabinet, you might consider getting something that goes from floor to ceiling. This may be opposite to a large window or something else that needs a balance in the room. If you cannot find a tall enough cabinet to buy, you may consider stacking a couple or putting some crown molding on the top. Make the molding match the corner storage cabinet, and you can have a piece that looks built in.

As long as what you choose for the color first in tastefully with the rest of the décor, you should be set.
To finish everything off, add some lights to the shelves so certain elements can have a backlighting. This only works if you have glass doors or no doors at all, but it can really add pop to the piece. What you fill it with from there is entirely your decision.
