One of the main pieces that can ground a room, and make it feel complete, can also be the most over looked – Adding a Focal Point. When we don’t add a focal point in our design, we miss out on a big chance to share our uniqueness with everyone who comes into that space. Think of it as a free pass to share your creative style with those around you. Not only is adding a focal point a great way to share your style with everyone, it’s also a great way to complete a space. I remember when I was in the process of re-vamping our living room the first time, and as I looked around our space I thought a lot about what kind of accessories I wanted to bring into the space that would truly reflect me, and my style. Other than loving white, I love anything with distressed wood. So as I was working on my living room I knew that was something I wanted to make sure I incorporated into the space. Just to re-cap a focal point is the thing in your space that grabs your attention. It’s usually the thing that grabs your eye first. It adds “WOW” to your room, and character to any space. It could be a piece of artwork, an architectural piece, a bold accent wall, even a fun piece of furniture. Remember this is your free pass to add a little pizazz to your space without throwing your room completely off. It usually involves taking a risk, but one that is most rewarding.
