What is it about a room that you notice when you first enter it? Is it a fireplace? Is it a bookcase? Perhaps, it is a statue or some other unique item. Then again, have you ever been in a situation where you entered a room and did not notice anything? If this is the case, then the room either completely lacked a decent focal point or simply did not arrange it’s most prominent items in the room in a positive manner. If this is the case then a great deal of potential is missing. This is because a great focal point can often make a room look quite stunning.
Those that are unsure as to what could comprise a focal point in a room, the concept is quite simple. Basically, a focal point will attract interest and attention in a room. It is something that will draw people’s eyes and impress them with the décor of the room. It can also create a certain mood or theme that will define the emotional impact the room is intended to create. For example, the placement of a brilliant portrait painting on a wall that displays a famous scene from our historical past can define the look of a room.
This is because such a stunning portrait would be immediately noticeable and it would define the mood of a room. This would yield the intended result of making the room visually impressive and inviting. Contrary to what some may assume, the focal point of a room does not have to be anything grandiose or large in size. Yes, a Baby Grande Piano can definitely provide a wonderful focal point to a room. But, so can a decently crafted ocean-blue globe. It is the quality of the focal point’s visual display that is impressive; not the mass of the room it takes up. Similarly, a focal point item need not automatically be something that is expensive. Many low cost items can deliver the same benefits provided they have an aesthetically pleasing value.
