Home Styling 101: Creating a Focal Point

Urban Presentations’ Senior Property Stylist Caroline Roussy’s latest project.

A focal point can instantly draw your eye in and help to enhance the aesthetic of any room. The focal point, also known as the feature of a room, is the area that the eye is naturally drawn to upon entering. The purpose of a focal point is to draw you into the space, making it feel welcoming and inviting you in.

If you want to create a focal point in your living space but are unsure of where to start, look no further! Here are our favourite ways to create a focal point in any living space:

Fireplaces

Fireplaces are often placed on the far side of a room, drawing your eyes in. We love how the brick fireplace above gives us a warm welcome into that living room. Fireside hot cocoa, anyone?

Artwork

Choosing the right piece of art can be a great way to build a feature into any space. You’ll want to select a piece that stands out on its own or consider adding some accessories in the same area.

Statement mirrors

A statement mirror is a perfect way to create a focal point. Decorative, functional, and bouncing light around to make a room feel brighter and more open, mirrors make are one of our favourite strategic pieces.

Standout furniture

Choosing a single piece of standout furniture for your living room is a guaranteed way to create a focal point that will add interest to the space. You truly can’t go wrong using your favourite piece of standout furniture as a focal point.

Feature walls

A feature wall is another way to create a focal point in any space. Be careful, though! Too many features result in the eye jumping from spot to spot without resting on any particular item or area. If feature walls are your focal point of choice, take our advice and stick to just one. More than one feature wall can leave the eye jumping around, defeating the purpose of a focal point.

3 Ways to Make the Most of the Large Windows in Your Home

Urban Presentations’ Senior Property Stylists Katie and Dorothy’s latest project.

We love large windows. Like a frame for your beautiful view, large windows don’t only showcase the beauty outside! Large windows are a great way to illuminate rooms with natural light, which is always flattering. Another reason we love large windows is how spacious and airy they can make a room feel. After years spent making the most of your homes, we’ve learned a thing or two about showcasing your large windows. Take a look below for more inspiration and to learn how you can make the most of them:

Limit distractions. Avoid cluttering your space or covering the windows with furniture whenever possible.

Make smart design decisions that give your floor-to-ceiling windows room to shine! If you want the atmosphere to feel warm and cozy, use warm colours such earthy tones such as beige, brown or red. You can also use wood as a main material.

Use neutrals for the interior and create a simple décor. Let your windows to do the work when it comes to spicing up your space!
