Are you looking for a technical architectural term, or the phrase that you might use casually? Can you give an example sentence showing how you want to use this word or phrase? | |

And what you're pointing to in the diagram as a corner is not what would normally be thought of as a corner. (Regardless of wall meeting wall or wall meeting floor.) In that picture, it's only the intersection of 3 lines (wall, wall, and floor, or wall, wall, and ceiling) that would be a corner. | |

If the room in question is not part of a basement, then it's a wall-floor joint or a floor-wall joint. (People who build houses may have a more specialized term.) However, in most cases, most people would just call it "where the wall and floor meet," "where the floor meets the wall," or "where the wall meets the floor." A wooden board or something similar running along the bottom of the wall adjacent to the floor is called a baseboard (or mopboard, skirting board, skirting, etc.), but that's clearly not what you're asking about. | |
