Many people are given the useless advice to play it safe or go neutral when it comes to choosing their furniture. Not a lot of folks dare to take risks in accessorizing or changing up. Still fewer are those who are willing to break some design rules and purchase statement pieces that anchor the rest of the pieces in a room.

Statement Piece Shouldn’t Go Over the Top

There are things to consider when you want to effectively use a statement piece. Of course you wouldn’t want to go over the top with your furnishing. Pick a classic style with a bold pattern or color, even the most dramatic shape that you could find, if you want to play up the rest of the elements.

In adding a statement piece, be sure to stay within the boundaries. You can follow trends, even do it your own way, but just make sure that it’s not some crazy fad that would go away in the next few months. Classic styles include striking patterns, different wall color, and interesting textiles.

The Statement Piece Does Not Compete

It is not right to have many competitive elements inside a room. Apply the opposite of the neutral furniture-bold accessory rule. This does not equate to having every piece of accessory in a neutral color. A lot of statement pieces inside a single room can make it look unbalanced.

The Statement Piece Is a Guide

Use the statement piece as a guide when you are out to stylize the rest of the room. If you picked to use a strong pattern, then find shades of the same color elsewhere. This should help you tie things all together. On the other hand, if you pick a solid color in a bold hue, then find complementary tones. These should harmonize the elements and could make your statement piece pop.

Statement Piece Must be Stylish

Always consider the statement piece’s style. Don’t make the room look like it’s too staged, though. Just incorporate enough pieces that pick up on the pattern, shade, shape or style of your chosen statement piece.

Statement Pieces Elicit Second Look

A statement piece almost always never fails to get a positive response especially when it is displayed correctly in a room. Guests stop to take a second look at a beautiful piece, even a third or fourth glance if you were able to get a piece that naturally grabs attention. A bust stationed in the middle of the foyer could do create wonders.

Use Statement Furniture

Making any piece of furniture as a statement piece is not ordinary but it has worked for many designers. It is a versatile way of upping the look of your bedroom, the living room, or that contemporary kitchen.

Pick the style and aesthetics for the final look then find the best chair that would fit into that image.

Use Statement Art

Art is the most used statement piece in the world so you might as well use it to your advantage. Bring in a piece of art that is big enough to be noticed. There are many ways that you can introduce art into you home, especially the living room. Bring in a provocative piece of art, place it on an unusual spot, then shine a magnificent piece of light on it.

This should get the best first impressions ever.

Collections As Statement Pieces

Collections are wonderful things that you can place inside the living room, dining room or the kitchen. Just like art, collections already have a proven visual impact on a lot of people. Hobbies and knickknacks can provide a loud, collective statement piece in your home.
