How to Create Focal Points in Your Home

A focal point is an important feature in any home because it ties together interior elements and helps create a natural flow in the living space. It’s also easy to create one, with many options for you to choose from depending on what you want to achieve.

Some of the ways you can create focal points in your home include:

Accent Walls

Depending on your preference, you can have home remodeling contractors paint an accent wall in a bold color or a few shades darker or lighter than the rest of your walls. You can also choose to use wallpaper or have whatever finish applied to it. As a focal point, an accent wall adds character to room.

Large Pieces of Furniture

You may already have large pieces of furniture so using them as a room’s main feature might be something you’re already doing. To make a large piece of furniture stand out even more, you can hang artwork over it. 

Quick tip: artwork can solely be used as focal points. They can also be used as jump-off points for other décor in a room or the rest of the home. And, should you get tired of one piece of artwork, you can easily switch it out for another.

Architectural Elements

Got a large stretch of windows? A fireplace? An exposed brick wall? A built-in shelf? These are all architectural elements you can use as focal points. If the view outside your window leaves you wanting, you can frame them with beautifully patterned or colored curtains, drawing attention inside rather than outside.
