Want to make a bold change to your interior or give it a whole new look without changing much? Add a statement piece that can grab people’s attention and start conversations. The question is, what should the focal point of a room be?
We have many options like paintings, sculptures, or unique pieces of furniture, which makes choosing only one such a difficult job. Nevertheless, too many focal points make a room look unbalanced. Here are some suggestions to help you choose one or two impactful additions to your interior.
Eye capturing Sculptures
Sculptures can transform any boring space into something spectacular. There are many types, from abstract to minimalist pieces or depictions of real-life objects like a balloon dog sculpture. Sleeker, more reductive sculptures suit modern interiors, while something intricate is more likable in a vintage setting.
Whatever sculptural piece you choose to accessorize your living space, it should do two things: look good and evoke emotion. Choose something that reminds you of a happy memory, for example, a clown making you a balloon dog. That happiness can be forever captured in a contemporary pop art balloon sculpture.
Large Scale Paintings
Paintings are another way we can strike emotion into hearts while improving the look of our living spaces. Paintings can be of any art style. They could be realistic or completely abstract. You could purchase a print of a painting that you adore or even find old paintings at thrift markets.
We recommend large-scale paintings because they can really command a space. If you have a large empty space of wall available, instead of purchasing several paintings to make a gallery wall, say everything you need to with one big and bold one.
Unique Furniture
If you don’t want to buy any over-the-top art pieces, we understand. You can still make an impression on your friends and family with a unique piece of furniture as your focal point. Anything about the furniture can make it stand out, like its size, shape, or materials used to make it.
Even normal-looking sofas can become statement pieces if you choose to upholster them with something different, like fur or something. Whether you hunt for your statement piece in furniture galleries or flea markets, it doesn’t matter. The only thing important is bringing something unique home that you love.
Noteworthy Rugs
Can you put a statement piece on the floor? Why not. Adding a rug is the best way to transform a space while making the littlest change to the pre-existing room decor. If you feel like the elements of a room are disconnected, adding a rug that compliments several aspects of your interior at once should fix that.
The rug could have a colorful oriental pattern, a crazy texture, or it could be animal skin. Whatever looks the best and makes you happy. Just remember, unlike other focal points, a rug will get a beating from foot traffic. It will need regular vacuuming and a professional cleaning here and there.
