Every ordinary looking room in your house can be developed into a pleasurable space to walk in to by simply adding a focal point. A focal point can lift and brighten a room if it is carried out the appropriate way. Listed below are a small number of ideas for people to read which I hope will help them on their way to creating that focal point together with creating a home they are going to be happy to welcome friends, family and visitors in to, knowing that they have done all of it by themselves.

A lovely, well decorated room can fail if there is no focal point. If you are lucky enough to have a fireplace, take advantage of it. Even if it is a mock fireplace and does not work, give it importance and charm with fire irons and a pile of logs around the grate.

Outlook can often be a very good focal point. If you have a beautiful country landscape or one of the rare skyline views of the city, position your furniture so the windows turn out to be the centre of eye interest. When you have neither fireplace or view, you will have to produce your own focal point in the room.

Choose the best suited and well-located wall, adorn your space using wallpaper, paint and lighting so that the rest of the room is pulled towards it. For example, a beautiful tapestry with antique wall lights at both sides instantly draws eye interest. A sofa and a group of chairs set beneath it indicate, this is the central point. Exactly the same applies to 1 large painting, a group of paintings, a wall of books, an enormous shelf arrangement filled with collector's items. A grand piano also makes a good focal point, so does a mirrored wall, a sofa with end tables and two imposing lamps, or a long, narrow chest arrangement containing books and collectors items.

Arranging Furniture:

When grouping furniture be sure you can view the grouping from any part of the room and obtain as much pleasure from it as you would a picture on your wall. This is particularly important if you have in excess of one group arrangement. Look at it from all angles and opposite sides of your room to check that it looks neither muddled or chaotic.

1.Group chairs and sofa to ensure that traffic goes around and not through the arrangement.

2.Keep chairs reasonably close together for easy 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 about the same height as sofa and chairs avoiding spills and upset lamps.

5.Strike a good balance by separating large pieces of furniture so that the room will not look too heavy at one end.

6.Bear in mind that light, slim furniture creates an optical illusion of room.

Every room needs a centre of gravity to bring it together. A fire is the most natural one, but wall treatments, windows and furniture arrangements can be just about as eye catching.
