Today, we will let you in on a secret that will help you make your room or office design really pop. The secret is – to have a focal point!

A focal point is the defining point of a room that draws the eye. It is as important to interior design as the backbone is to our bodies. It expresses the owner’s aesthetics and draws visitors’ attention. There is no limitation as to what defines a focal point –  it could be a nice rug spread in the living room or maybe a warm, cozy fireplace. Below are some tips for you to think about how to catch your visitors’ eyes!

1. Doors

What is the first thing you see when entering a home? Doors! Front doors are often overlooked but they are a major eye-catcher. You can pick a vibrant color for your doors; decorate the doorway with some seasonal flowers/plants and vintage pots, put some relaxing furniture or hang some door accessories. This gives a welcoming vibe to your home. Click here for referring ways to create impressive entrance for your home!

2. Windows

Give your eyes a break from the TV or your workstation and enjoy the beautiful outdoors! Windows can be a perfect focal point for the home, especially with a great outdoor view as backdrop. Using curtains with bright and interesting patterns or colors help to keep the view interesting when night falls.

3. Accent walls

Accent walls are a popular choice for focal points. If you are an artistic person, you can express your creativity on the wall instead of using artworks or wallpapers. Displaying motivating quotes is also a subtle way to keep your energy up every day.

Figuring out interior design ideas can be difficult, but once you have settled on your focal point, things become much simpler. There are countless ideas on the web which may get overwhelming. As usual, when in doubt, talk to an expert at PiQuantum! We are here to help, always.
