Having a center of attraction
A room always looks good when you create a visual focus or highlight in each room – something that’s not too flashy, but subtly manages to draws attention to itself. Focal points include windows with a good view, a classy rug, a cabinet or fireplace, a display cabinet, a dramatic mirror, a bookshelf or a collection of photos displayed on the wall, works of art, and the like. A focal point makes the room’s design look solid and not cluttered.
Be careful though, not to overload you room with too many things, as it will look cramped and stuffy. The point of having a center of attention is make the room feel more cozy and comfortable, and induce you or any visitor to stay for awhile and make himself or herself comfortable.
