Eenie Meenie Miny Mo: Which Focal Point to Use?

Friday, December 28th, 2018

Make the fireplace even more interesting and worthy to be called a focal point with this Uttermost Living Room Gold Branches Decorative Fireplace Screen 18796.

Imagine walking into a room and your eyes can’t seem to rest on something substantial. Or picture the opposite where your eyes go from one point to the next because every little thing in the room seems to be crying for attention. This is that situation when the room has no definite focal point.

 

But what is a focal point and why is it so important in every room in your home? Any room will become much more inviting if you tastefully arrange furnishings and accessories around one focal point.

 

Most of the time, a focal point is a piece of furniture. At times, it can be a lovely architectural feature. It can also be a work of art or even a special framed family photo.

 

Determine the Focal Point

 

To define which is the focal point in a room, you have to go around and look for the biggest feature. As mentioned, it can be an architectural part of the room such as a fireplace or it can be a furniture piece such as a bookcase. These huge pieces are often the default focal points in a room.

 

If you do not see a distinctive architectural feature, the next step is to look for the biggest furniture pieces in that room. Any one of these can be the focal point. So, if you do not have a fireplace in the middle of the living room, the next logical choice for the focal point is that comfy sectional or chaise.

 

In choosing a focal point, it is important that it’s an interesting piece. This is so everyone will be enticed to look at it. It can either be colorful or has a texture that’s difficult to ignore. It can also be visually unique.

 

You can also easily create a focal point in any room by zeroing in on your artwork, the paint color on a wall, floral arrangements or the shelves that contain your book collection.

 

Here’s another tip – the focal point is that first thing that you will immediately notice the moment you get inside a room. if possible, try to build your furniture pieces all around the focal point that you chose (e.g. the sofa set, coffee table, and side tables should be arranged around the fireplace).

 

If you chose an outdoor view as the focal point, be sure also to orient all the furniture pieces inside to take advantage of the window zones. Imagine looking outdoors to a garden or a landscape. It’s a mesmerizing view that will surely be remembered.

 

One wall painted with a darker or brighter hue of the same color palette that you used is a great way to create a focal wall. This focal wall can also be neutral-colored but adorned with beautiful wall arrangements of artwork, framed photos or display shelves.

 

Lighting can also be used to enhance any focal point. There are many picture lights on the Internet as there are wall washer fixtures for painting or any wall display. If you made a shelf or a mantel as the focal point, then be sure to use correct accessories on them such as potted plants; flowers in beautiful, ornate vases; and other such accessories.

 

Always make sure that you use contrasting colors for the focal point and other design elements in the room. If the focal point is a flaming red, don’t turn the rest of your furnishings in the same flaming red shade. Instead, find tints of the same hue to accessorize.

 

Remember to decorate and frame the focal points with other design elements such as curtains, art or plants.

How to Make Focal Points Work

Saturday, March 31st, 2018

Where do your eyes automatically go to? Naturally, Summer Home Collection’s Platform King Bed is an effortless star.

Any room’s focal point is the most important element in that space. Simply put, it is no less than the star of the show. This is the very spot where the viewers’ eyes would go to the moment they enter the room. Since this is so, you have to learn to recognize, pick, and use a focal point to your advantage.

Recognize the Focal Point

Pinpointing the architectural element or furniture that’s the room’s focal point isn’t easy. Sometimes, it’s easy to spot it because it is an obvious featured part of the room. More often than not, though, you could actually stage something to become the focal point.

So let us begin with the obvious focal points –

Fireplaces. This is the very anchor of a bedroom, living room or dining room. The key to making the most of this focal point is to arrange the seating units all around this architectural feature. As much as you can, hang a bold art piece right above the mantel.

Vaulted ceiling. This is one architectural part of the home that does not beg for extra design. Even so, you still have to make sure that it is always freshly-painted and, yes, cobweb-free. If you want to ascertain that the vaulted ceiling won’t be missed, then hang a lovely lighting fixture for everyone to appreciate. This can be a crystal chandelier or a unique pendant light.

Windows and picturesque views. If your home happens to be blessed with eye-catching views, then you won’t have to put much effort in highlighting those focal points. Again, since these are naturally beautiful views, eyes will naturally travel there. Make sure that the windows are unobscured so that everyone gets to see the lovely scenery outdoors.

Angled walls. You can make one of these as a focal point if you create an accent wall. There are many ways to achieve this type of wall. You can go dark and be dramatic or you can offset the neutral colors of the other three walls with a bold, vibrant hue. After all, who wouldn’t want to look at an orange wall?

Another way to create a focal wall is to use wallpaper. Find a pattern or design that coincides with the rest of your home’s theme while being able to stand out from the other walls.

What about here? The Console Estrelas from Fine Furniture Design (Deco) houses the focal point which is this interesting work of art.

Choose Works of Art

Other than architectural parts of your home, you can bring in some works of art that are big enough to be referred to as a statement. This statement art can be replaced by a mirror but rather than go for the traditional or default mirror, why not hype things up a bit and place something that will excite the viewers’ senses?

In determining which artwork to use, you might want to go outside of the usual painting. While big, bold paintings are wonderful focal pieces, they are far too common. This time, find a lovely bust that you can display and highlight.

Buy Unique Furniture and Learn Furniture Placement

While you are advised that your furniture choices should primarily be practical, this does not mean that you can no longer create a sense of excitement with your choices. A unique piece that has a bold pattern, fabric, or shape can readily steal the spotlight from other design elements in the room.

The natural focal pieces include the sectional, a large couch, the bed, the dining table, and the china cabinet. Be sure to use placement techniques that work. For instance, if you want to highlight a decorative lamp, then be sure to place it right at the very front and center of a console table.

Pièce De Résistance: The Significance of Focal Points in Interior Design

Monday, August 7th, 2017

Now let’s practice. Where do your eyes go when you see this picture? The Cachet mirror is difficult to miss, isn’t it?

When talking about focal points in terms of photographic composition, you are looking at the site right where the parallel light rays converge. This same concept can be said when talking about interior design. Every focal point has a tremendous effect on the appreciation and reading of a given scenario.

Pièce De Résistance and Aesthetics

As you walk into a room, what is the first thing that catches your attention? That is definitely the room’s focal point. This is an attractive feature, it can be a view of the garden outdoors that’s carefully framed by the large window or it can also be the fireplace in the living room.

This focal point will have a huge influence on the eventual furniture arrangement. Your role now is to decorate the room based on the focal point. Energize your space by taking the attention right to the chosen focal point.

In the bedroom, more often than not, this is the bed. Inside the sunroom, the eyes have to go to that interesting reading nook that’s furnished with a comfy chair and a small side table.

Identify the Focal Points

Generally, every room has a designated focal point. You don’t have to think that you have to default to these features, though. So, this means that the living room can have the sectional as the star of the show rather than the fireplace. Yup, you can downplay the fireplace and have the center of attention shifted to the seating unit.

As to the usual focal points, a group of windows or even just a single window does not just let in an awesome amount of light in but could also serve as a pièce de résistance. A skyline or an outdoor element, even an amazing landscape could also do the trick.

Look for the strongest architectural detail inside the room and that should be the focal point.

Set Up the Focal Points

If you don’t have an existing focal point in the room, then you can create one. The creation of a focal point isn’t difficult to do. Find the largest wall in the room. Create a feature wall by having this decorated and set apart from the rest of the walls.

You can also cover unsightly windows with floral or other bold-patterned curtains. These can also act as the best feature in your room.

A furniture piece that is brightly-colored can easily become the focal point. Imagine a sectional covered with fabric that has the most interesting geometric patterns. Now picture that in a sea of white – it becomes even more amazing, right?

Do you have collections of books or knickknacks? These can also be organized in a lovely shelf and would instantly serve as the focal point in the living room, bedroom or the dining room.

Even large mirrors can be used as focal points, as are groups of artwork, or woven baskets filled with collectibles.

Be Bold

Defining the focal point means you should be ready to be bold. Imagine having the ceiling painted in bright red and then frame it with dark-colored molding. This combination should add an interesting focal point to what could have been a bland-looking room.

The ever reliable accent wall can also be created in this manner. This feature wall adds a strong feature to any room. Be sure to group the furniture around the focal wall. If you’re not ready to create an ensemble, then just balance the horizontal elements throughout.

Dual Focal Points

Can a photograph have two focal points?

Why not?

Going back to photography, would you waste the wonderful redness of the apple all because you chose to highlight the succulent lemon? Why not have both?

When you do this, be careful that you’re not emphasizing the lesser element with the better one. For instance, more people would like to see the outdoors more than the fireplace.

Choose two wonderful architectural features, a combination of one architectural feature and furniture piece, or two interesting furniture pieces – your options are limitless.

The Default Focal Point – And How to Effectively Use It

Friday, June 23rd, 2017

So you probably already know that the fireplace or an accent wall is the automatic focal point inside any room. These are, after all, converge people’s interest and activities. The best-designed rooms almost always have a highly visible focal point.

An Item to Emphasize

Picking an item to highlight can be a tad tricky. But, once you get the hang of it, you will be able to effectively set the mood and tone that you want inside a room in your home.

Whether you choose an architectural feature, a color, a lighting fixture, even an artwork, you are picking a thing upon which you will put a spotlight on. But what’s the best way to focus all attention on one object?

First, when highlighting an architectural feature – like a lovely fireplace – you need to be able to position the furniture pieces around it. You don’t just dump the ensemble and hope that they frame the fireplace accordingly.

Remember that the stone element can set the proper tone for the chairs, sofa, even your drapes.

The size of your chosen architectural element is also crucial. One that’s too large would look awkward and uncomfortable. One that’s too small, on the other hand, will make the furniture as the default focal point, thus, taking the attention away from the main feature.

Another thing that you can emphasize is artwork. A work of art – even just a single framed masterpiece – can make or break a room. Make sure to position the artwork perfectly. If you center it right between that space where two doors open, oh, you would be able to create an awesome focal point that is difficult to ignore.

The tone as well as the size of your art piece is also important. Pick a painting with the right scale for your room. Choose one that has the right tones which will automatically draw the eyes. Make sure that the colors of the painting will not clash with the rest of the room, though.

A large, bold painting would look wonderful when hung on a neutral wall. Print series can also make a huge impact. Whether you choose to have them framed identically or on eclectically, you won’t have to worry about using your focal point effectively.

A Fantastic View

When you have a magnificent view of the green outdoors, then you simply have to use the windows to showcase it. Your home’s architecture can perfectly frame the beauty of the greeneries and could even make it look grander.

An oversized window will make a view of the forest backdoor to be as an art masterpiece. Pick simple furniture to complement this view. If it’s positioned in the bedroom, then make sure that what you get is just a minimalist bed.

Interesting Textures and Patterns

Adding texture in order to create a focal point in a room is as easy as painting a monochromatic scheme. This monochrome should give your room ample depth and character. You can then use shiny and smooth objects to create a cool vibe.

Soft, raised textures can offer a warm appeal. You can use this look inside your kitchen – begin with a minimalist palette then have the colors inspire your countertop as well as the backsplash. Your tile finish can also glisten so that the stainless steel appliances will stand out all the more.

As for the patterns, they are an automatic focal point especially in a room that’s lacking architecturally. Use a patterned and textured finish such as stone or tiles if you want to create a bold statement.

A flowing, organic pattern used with a subtle hue on a granite wall should be the accent wall in a bathroom or powder room. There is no longer any need for any decorative element inside this room that’s already beautified by a focal point.

Focal Point: The Creation of a Masterpiece

Friday, February 24th, 2017

Black is definitely in with Hooker Furniture Home Office Lytle Writing Desk.

When talking in terms of photography, the focal point is that point in space where the parallel light rays converge after they pass through the lens or when they bounce off a mirror. The perfect mirror or lens should send the light rays through a single focal point which would result in a clear image.

The best-designed rooms usually have a focal point. This is that part where your eyes rest the moment you enter any space. Whether this is a texture, architectural feature or a lighting fixture, this is a visually interesting part of any home.

But is there an easy way to come up with a focal point?

Focal Point in Interior Design

The simplest way to make a focal point is to find the brightest or the darkest hues in a space. When creating a focal point, be sure to keep the palette of the rest of the room neutral. It’s okay to use grays or soft brown on rugs, sofas and walls. Use that bold pop of color (e.g. tangerine or emerald green) as your focal point whether you are using a piece of art, chair or a single wall.

Tie the rest of the design elements through the use of small accents in your chosen color. Use this on throws and accessories.

Black almost always captivates anyone who lays his or her eyes on this hue. This is can also work as a focal point – in fact, effectively so – because it is imposing and solid. Black draws the eyes while also grounding the space. This is the reason why black is an amazing focal point.

Use black items that have a unique shape like a bizarre lamp or a funky chair. How about a small black sculpture? That works, too.

Color is not the only way that you can infuse a focal point in a home, though. Always remember the elements of furniture placement. This is also true with accessories.

For example, if you want the eyes to go towards the fireplace, then be sure to arrange the furniture on both sides of the said architectural feature. Or if you have a unique lamp, be sure to place it in front and at the center of a console table while smaller accessories are placed all around it.

Focal Point in Architectural Feature

This central element can easily help you position furniture pieces in a room. The most common architectural focal point is the fireplace. Notice how all other design elements in a room tend to revolve around this architectural feature?

Getting the right size for an architectural element to become the focal point is the most vital thing that you need to consider. If it is too big, it may overpower the entire design. If it is too small, the furniture eventually become the focal point.

Focal Point in Artwork

A perfectly-positioned painting or any work of art that is centered between dual doors and placed on a console table is just the right vision to welcome visitors into your home.

The tone and size of the artwork is also crucial. Pick a painting that has an appropriate scale for the room. The tones must draw the eyes but should never clash with the rest of the design.

A large, bold art piece will look fantastic when placed against a neutral wall or beside a neutral-colored furniture. Using a series of prints also has a huge impact on any space whether they are identical or eclectically mixed.

Focal Point and Views

When you have a wonderful view to share, say, a lush garden or an infinity pool, then be sure to use architecture to emphasize it. An oversized window could do the trick. As you do this, be sure to choose simple furniture that will complement the scenic view outdoors.

Building the Complaint-Free Home

Monday, November 14th, 2016

This lovely wooden piece comes from FFDM's Highlands Collection.

This lovely wooden piece comes from FFDM’s Highlands Collection.’Talk of focal points!

Here’s a great reason to begin decorating for your home now – the end result of your project will enhance the mood in your home. With the right decisions come better sleep inside the bedroom, less stress in the living room and much joy in the kitchen and dining room.

Here are some ways to turn your home into a haven –

Establish an Effective Focal Point

One of the first things that you would notice when you enter anyone’s home is a furniture or architectural part of the home anchoring the rest of the design elements. This is the focal point.

It is your duty to create a focal point for your home. This should be something that is noticeable once you enter your home. It could be a large porcelain vase, an abstract painting, or a memorable souvenir from your travels.

Say No to Debris

What are you still doing staring at that pile of old newspapers on the floor? Pick ‘em up.

Piles of stuff on the hallway or the entryway must go. They all spell chaos and mess inside your home and that’s bad for productivity.

Have a place that is designated for every item. Place the most chic containers right by the door then find bins for incoming and outgoing stuff.

Create Ample Room

Anxiety builds where there’s too much stress or chaos. Reduce the clutter in your home by making space. Cut on all the non-essentials. Let go of unnecessary furnishings, magazines, files, picture frames, etc.

A magical way to create space is to paint one of your chairs or tables and let it blend or disappear into the wall. Painting the walls with a light color will also make the room look a lot more spacious.

Highlight, Don’t Flood with Light

It would be difficult for you and your family to relax during the night if there is a bright overhead lamp right in your living room. This is much like attending a concert wherein you are amped all the time. If you don’t want to be revved up all the time, then use spot lighting just for the areas that need brightness. For all the others, install dimmers that you can activate according to your mood.

Find and install full-spectrum bulbs for a more soothing and natural ambience.

Simplify the Color Scheme

Practice restraint when using colors and patterns. Mixing patterns means you must know how to keep the color schemes within bounds. If you are the type that likes a lot of colors, then be sure to keep patterns to a bare minimum or you’d risk making your home look like the venue for the next Iron Man triathlon.

A relaxing room should be one that’s devoid of too many patterns and colors. Find the most soothing hues then put in just the right amount of furnishings and accessories so that your place becomes more meaningful.

Love Mother Nature

In fact, you should love her so much that you are willing to bring her into your own home. Bringing the outdoors in means having pots of houseplants, some mirrors to reflect the natural light, and the biggest windows to accommodate the beautiful rays of the sun; the view should also include an interesting landscape and awesome trees right outside your home.

Turn Off Your Electronics

Put the TV set and the computers in areas where you are not supposed to relax. These are your home office and the entertainment area. Do not let these electronic appliances interfere with a good night’s sleep by putting them inside the bedroom or the living room. In their place, use throw pillows, lamp shades and the most calming colors that you could find.

4 Red Hot Interior Design Tips

Monday, March 28th, 2016

FFDM's Camden Grove Collection depicts here the perfect harmony of textures, patterns, and colors.

FFDM’s Camden Grove Collection depicts here the perfect harmony of textures, patterns, and colors.

If you’re thinking that interior designers follow a set of rules or that they own a secret book, then you’re in tough luck. There is no one rule that governs all that they do, after all, they are the creative people so they use their imagination, follow their intuition and they even go as far as dreaming and exploring. One could say, perhaps, that they have some rough principles that direct them to the right result. Here are some of the top interior design tips that you can work on –

Pick the Right Paint Color

Some designers say that it is ideal to pick the color of paint last. You may find the logic in this, you may not. What matters at the end of the day is that you pick the right kind of color for your chosen theme, one that is in rhythm with the architectural beauty of your home, and one that functions the way you perceived it to.

Let’s accept this – there are literally thousands of paint colors in different shades, tones and tints. Every single one can look different from one home to the next because there are factors to consider such as the lighting, the overall theme, even the size of the home.

You would want a paint color that complements the artwork, upholstery, lighting fixtures, carpeting, and the furniture sets.

Overcrowd Not

While you may have ample budget to buy every piece of furniture that you want, resist the urge to overcrowd all of your chosen pieces inside one room. Gracious living is tantamount to having enough

You must also know how to arrange furniture on a rug. Here are two techniques –breathing space. Focus on the quality and not the quantity of the furniture. Find the ones that will stand out without being stuffy.

  • If the rug is huge enough, then have all the furniture pieces – even the ones with the curvy legs – placed on top of it. This should give the room a more luxurious feel. Make sure to leave 12-18 inches of floor surface on all of the four sides of the rug, though.
  • In homes with smaller rooms, it is best to keep some of the legs off of the rug. It should be enough for the rug to touch the front legs of every chair. This is especially suited if you are layering a pattern on a bigger textured or solid rug.

You must also resist the urge to display all of your collectibles. If you really love each piece from your travels, then assign a season for each batch.

Hang Artwork Correctly

You can learn a lot from the museums and galleries that professionally hang artwork. The midline or center of the artwork should be 57” to 60” from the floor. The logic behind this is that the human eye level is often at 57 inches.

In a room where the ceilings are as high as the sky (of course this is an exaggeration), you must hang the artworks at a greater height. Though this is the case, you still need to remind yourself about human scale and not the structural scale.

If you are uncertain about where to hang artworks, then it is best to take a picture first. The photo should be able to reveal what level you can hang the artwork. Photographs often will give you an idea whether it is better to use a smaller or bigger piece of art; or if the spot is just right for a potted tall plant.

Always Have a Focal Point

Just as musicales or any stage production, there are protagonists and antagonists. This concept is also true when it comes to interior design. Choose the best pieces that you would want to highlight or make the star of the show then the rest of the items would just play a secondary role.

In the kitchen, the focal point can be that grand oven you just bought, in the living room it could be an art piece, and in the bedroom it can be the fireplace.

The focal point can also be a single wall. This is also called a statement wall.

Organic Interiors: Turning Your Home to a Visual Delight

The clean lines of the American Leather Living Room Bookcase MEN-BKC-ES should fit right into your organic home.

The clean lines of the American Leather Living Room Bookcase MEN-BKC-ES should fit right into your organic interiors.

Would you like to have the ability to bring nature right into your home? This is a quest that homeowners, over the centuries, have longed to achieve. Humans, after all, love organic interiors and the organic appeal of earth’s elements because he is one with them.

Organic modern dwellings are usually soothing and have a down-to-earth feel. The natural elements such as clean lines, rustic stuff, vegetation and lots of natural light – all add a certain level of warmth to any home with modern architecture.

Bringing organically inspired elements in your home can be achieved with these guidelines –

Choose Elements That Bring Peace

This does not mean doing the feng shui each time that you move your furniture about or buying only the feng shui approved pieces. Pick materials that showcase your personal flair. Some homeowners may like the look of natural rocks as wall art while others like the sophistication offered by dark mahogany furniture or flooring. Be sure to find natural elements that show your style while connecting you to your home.

Use Bricks as a Focal Point or Backdrop

Brick making is a process that involves natural elements such as water, clay, mud and fire. These eventually produce one of the sturdiest building materials.

The appeal of brick transcends time. Its rustic uniformity makes old homes and now modern dwellings a place to marvel at.

Never Go Without Wood

Wood is the soul of organic design. The imperfections of wood such as grains and knots are the very things that make it stand out. Wooden furniture now comes in various species and finishes. You can use this material from your ceiling beams down to your dining table, chairs, even the flooring.

Look for furniture with country and rustic appeal if you want to achieve a traditional look in your home. For those who are looking to have a contemporary setting, look for wood furniture with non-complex, free from ornamentation lines.

The Farmer’s Market Table on the left comes with a simple scalloped pattern. This can serve as a heritage piece, one that evokes a country feel. Its French style finish, bun foot legs, and Dutch white cedar all contribute to a lovely feature for this wooden piece.

Bring in Nature in Every Room

Bringing in natural finishes in your dwelling place is no longer a new concept yet it has become a game changer of sorts to many homeowners. You can look into buying organic bedding for your bedroom. These are those sheets that come with rustic leaves or birds as designs.

A Zen fountain can make a home office feel more calming and soothing.

Design your home according to the concepts that make you feel more excited, charged, even calmed and find out how nature would play its role in your home.

When it comes to floral inspiration, make sure that you bring in the real thing. It can be frustrating to see fake greenery covered in dust inside any of your rooms. Allow nature to find its way to your interiors by bringing in potted plants, flowers, cacti, and succulents in their natural state.

Another room where you need to feel relaxed or rejuvenated is the bathroom. A water heater can make your body feel soothed. It can even transport your mind to a much needed level of serenity. This is something that you can look forward to after a long day of work.

Add wood walls in your bathroom to attain the look of a dry heat sauna. Fixtures must have minimal lines and your source of light is preferably from the sun’s rays flowing right into this room. At night, find a light source that still creates the ideal, one-of-a-kind experience in bathing.

Living in organic interiors is not just relaxing, it can also make you feel a sense of fulfillment as you help Mother Earth in the process.
