Every average looking room in your house can be developed into a pleasurable space to walk into by simply adding a focal point. A focal point can lift and improve a space if it is done in the right way. Here's several ideas for people to read which I hope may help them on their way to creating that focal point together with creating a house where they are going to be delighted to welcome friends, family and visitors in to, knowing that they have done it all by themselves.
A stunning, well decorated room can fail if it has no focal point. If you are lucky enough to have a hearth, take advantage of it. Even if it may be a mock fireplace and does not work, give it importance and character with fire irons and a pile of wood around the grate.
Outlook can often be an effective focal point. If you have a fantastic country view or one of the rare skyline views of a city, arrange your furniture so the windows turn out to be the centre of eye interest. In the event you have neither fireplace or view, you will have to make your own personal focal point in the room.
Choose the most suitable and convenient wall, by Means Of it so the rest of the room is pulled towards it. For example, a beautiful tapestry with antique wall lights at both sides immediately draws eye attention. A settee and a group of chairs set underneath it indicate, this is the central point. The same applies to one large painting, a group of paintings, a wall of books, an enormous shelf arrangement stuffed with collector's items. A grand piano also makes a good focal point, so does a mirrored wall, a settee with end tables and two imposing lamps, or an extended, narrow chest arrangement containing books and collectors items.
Arranging Furniture:
When grouping furniture make sure it is possible to view the grouping from any part of your room and obtain as much pleasure from it as you would a picture on the wall. This will be particularly important if you have more than one group arrangement. View it from all angles and opposite sides of your room to check that it looks neither muddled or cluttered.
1.Group chairs and sofa's so that traffic goes around and not through the arrangement.
2.Keep chairs reasonably close together for simple conservation and also to avoid shouting from across the room.
3. If you have lamps away from walls, install floor outlets to avoid tripping over lamp chords.
4.Select tables which are roughly the same height as sofa and chairs avoiding spills and upset lamps.
5.Strike the perfect balance by separating large pieces of furniture so the room does not look too heavy at one end.
6.Remember light, slim furniture creates an optical illusion of space.
Every room needs a centre of gravity to bring it together. A fireplace is the most natural one, but wall treatments, windows and furniture arrangements can be almost as eye catching.
