Focal Points
Sometimes a room has a special feature a focal point or centerpiece where the eye can rest. a focal point may be either built into the architecture or brought in as part of the decor. In a large room there may be more than one focal point.
Architecturally speaking, a fireplace is usually a focal point. A large window or tall built-in bookcases are two more examples. So obviously, scale has something to do with it. Keep that in mind if your room needs a focal point.

Enjoy this post, waiting for your return once again to find more ideas that you will love.
1- Fireplaces : This is no brainer - The size of some fireplaces demands that you stop and take notice. If your fireplace is nondescript, boost its appeal by refacing it in stone, replacing the mantel, adding decorative trimwork to the overmantel or the face, creating a vignette on the mantel, or adding a handsome fire screen.
2- Architectural Windows : Large, dramatic windows, often called "architectural windows," can be showstoppers in any room in the house. If you are lucky enough to have even one, you may want to leave it uncovered, revealing its architectural lines unless your house is too close to the neighbors or the view is subpar.
3- Wall Decor : One picture or a grouping of framed prints, paintings, or photographs not only calls attention to itself but adds personality to your room's decor. An alternative to framed art is a tapestry, a large vintage quilt, or some other displayworthy textile. Additional ideas include mirrors,wall clocks, objects d'art displayed on brackets, plates, and maps.
4- Feature Wall : The main wall in a room painted a color that contrasts with the other walls or an intensely saturated shade becomes a focal point. An alternative is a patterned wallpaper, a mural, or a trompe l'oeil painted wall.
5- The TV Units : The TV is typically a focal point in a family or TV room, particularly if the screen is prominent.
6 - Large Furniture Pieces : Anchor a room or a section of a large space with a substantial piece of furniture.
7 - Window Treatments : Some window treatments command attention,particularly formal styles or ones with patterned fabrics.
8 - Built-Ins : Large built-in furnishings, such as media cabinets, bookcases, and window seats, can be focal points.
9 - Chandeliers and some light fixtures : A dramatic chandelier or hanging fixture is often a room's main attraction.
10 - A grand staircase : In an entry hall, a grand staircase provides the wow factor.
