Finding the Focal Point of Your Living Room
Successful room designs are all centered around a focal point that adds visual interest and captures the occupant’s attention. Through the use of complementary design elements and subtle staging, your focal point should capture the interest of a visitor as soon as they walk into the room. This form of staging can be an easy way to hide an unsightly feature by creating an overpowering distraction; the center of the eye’s concentration.
Use the decor at your disposal to form your focal point. One particularly popular and effective point of interest that is frequently used is the TV. Television is a perfect central hub from which you may stage your room. The fireplace can also be an excellent focal point for your living room. You can make the fireplace the crowning feature of the room by starting with your mantel. Place eye-catching wallpaper behind it to automatically attract attention to that side of the room. The wallpaper doesn’t need to be extravagant. Just opt for an earth tone or neutral color that will help create balance in the room.
Iconic couches may serve as excellent focal points for your social rooms. Try adding colorful patterned pillows or throws to the couch to give it more flare. Arrange the rest of the furniture so that they are facing the couch. If your couch is large enough, try to place it in the middle of the longest wall in the room. Add side tables to the couch to optimize its usefulness.
