Focal points are elements that immediately stand out and capture attention. They\u2019re usually the architectural features in a room, but large furniture pieces or groups of items can also be used as focal points. In general, anything that can draw attention to itself can be used as a design focal point. There can even be multiple focal points in a single room.

Several features can meet the definition of a focal point, but which one should you use? Through the process of elimination, here are the steps to choosing a focal point in a room:

  1. Start with the biggest feature<\/strong>. The eyes are naturally drawn to the largest thing in the room. Fireplaces, picture windows and built-in bookcases are some of the most common focal points. <\/li>
  2. Move on to the biggest furniture pieces<\/strong>. If a room has no unique architectural features, move on to the biggest furniture pieces. For instance, a couch or seating arrangement can serve as the base for your interior\u2019s focal point. If you want more contrast within this particular space, you can choose a couch in bold or solid, dark colors. <\/li>
  3. Look for bold, colorful art pieces or elements<\/strong>. If a room doesn\u2019t have any furniture big enough to immediately draw attention, the next best thing would be bold, colorful pieces that are visually or textually appealing. Important note: while it\u2019s important to choose unique, bold elements, you need to make sure they don\u2019t deviate too much from the interior. The entire design of the room will revolve around the focal point. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
