Creating and Enhancing Focal Points

Project: Sherwood Rise

Every room deserves an eye-catching focal point that instantly grabs your attention when you walk into a space. In simple terms, it’s the star of the show! Some rooms will organically have an existing focal point, while others require your creative touch to bring them to life!

If you’re unsure about whether your home already showcases a captivating moment in every space, no worries!  We are here to guide you on where the focus should be in each key space of your home. 


Living Room:

This space offers a variety of focal points, so take advantage of your surroundings and let them guide your decor choices.


Project: Cittadella Blvd.

Windows:

When it comes to outdoor views, we naturally want to look outside and enjoy the beauty of nature. We can help draw attention to our windows by framing them with beautiful curtains or drapes during the decor process.


Fireplaces:

Make the most of this focal point by adding an inspired piece of art or a mirror above the mantel, to create that “WOW” factor. Fireplaces are sometimes accompanied by built-in shelving, use this to your creative advantage when it comes to styling. Play around with depths and dimensions to create a captivating visual impact.

Vaulted Ceilings:

Vaulted ceilings often create a grand atmosphere in your space. Let their architectural beauty shine by keeping them as a focal point. If possible, consider adding an exciting light fixture that complements the height and adds an element of visual interest. Additionally, if your exposed beams are starting to look tired, don't hesitate to give them a fresh coat of paint or stain. This simple update can breathe new life into the room and enhance the overall appeal of your vaulted ceilings.

Dining Room:

This space is normally a blank canvas, add artwork or an accent wall to create excitement. These details can carry themselves with ease. The dining room is one room in the house that can amplify statement furniture. Don’t sell yourself short on a beautiful dining table and if you have the space to add a server/sideboard, do it! This is a great piece of furniture to anchor art and additional accent lighting. 


Kitchen:

Kitchens are versatile spaces that offer numerous focal points for you to choose from and accentuate.

Range Hood:

Today, range hoods have evolved from their practical and protective function to become a stylish centerpiece in the kitchen. With a wide range of options available, you can find the perfect range hood that complements your style, whether it's a sleek stainless steel design or a custom wood creation. If you want to make a bold statement, consider extending your backsplash all the way up to the height of the range hood. This creates a seamless look while adding an extra layer of visual interest to your kitchen. Let your range hood become a statement piece that combines functionality with eye-catching design.


Secondary Service Area:

 If you have the luxury of space in your kitchen, consider incorporating a coffee station or a dedicated bar area. This secondary serving station not only adds functionality but also creates a distinct focal point that draws attention to the bonus space in your kitchen. It's a perfect opportunity to introduce unique design details and showcase your personal style. Whether it's a stylish espresso machine, a collection of beautiful glassware, or a display of your favorite spirits, this area will not only make your kitchen more efficient but also elevate its overall aesthetic.

Bedroom:

The bed takes center stage in the bedroom, making it the key focal point. While high fabric headboards or four-poster beds have been in the spotlight for the past few years, there's beauty in simplicity too. If you prefer a more minimalistic appearance, focus on investing in high-quality linens and accent pieces to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. 

Regardless of your bed style preference, there are additional elements that can elevate your space and give you that “WOW” factor. Start with an area rug, even if your bedroom already has carpet, to add texture and visual interest. Place a nightstand on each side of the bed for practicality and symmetry. If your bedroom lacks a window as a natural backdrop, consider adding matching artwork or mirrors to create depth and reflect more light, enhancing the overall ambiance of the space. Remember, it's the little details that make a big impact in creating a stunning and harmonious bedroom retreat.

Bathroom:

A freestanding tub or a custom shower with stylish tiles can truly steal the show in a bathroom! If your bathroom lacks these eye-catching elements, there are still plenty of ways to revitalize the space. Consider installing a new vanity that matches your desired aesthetic, and don't forget to complete the look with impressive overhead lighting that adds both functionality and allure. Lastly, choose a mirror with a statement frame to add personality and depth to the room. These updates are sure to breathe new life into your bathroom and reignite your inspiration for the space.


Whether you are designing your kitchen, bathroom, family room or bedroom, every space is capable of creating focal points that will transform ordinary rooms into extraordinary spaces. By accentuating and enhancing these key areas, you can create a visually stunning and harmonious home that reflects your personal style and taste. Don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with different design elements to make each space truly shine. Let your home tell a story and captivate the attention of anyone who pays a visit!
