Draw the Eye to Something Wonderful

When you walk into a room, your eye automatically goes to a "focal point".  This is the "main feature" of the room and you and your guests will feel more comfortable if your eye can rest on this feature.

Some focal points are obvious like a beautiful picture window looking out to a serene garden or a fireplace; large or small is what will be noticed first when you enter the room.  However, sometimes a room has no distinguishing feature built in and you have to create one. Some ideas of focal points that you can add to a room are here:

  • An armoire or other tall, large cabinet
  • A table with a collection of interesting pieces on it
  • A beautiful oriental or patterned rug
  • A dramatic mirror
  • A collection hung on the wall, such as family photos, artwork, photography or musical instruments
  • A large open storage shelf with collectibles interspersed with books, plants and small accessories

If the room doesn't have an inherent focal point, one can be created. Draw the eye to something wonderful, linger and enjoy your space.

The eye SHOULD go to the focal point.  If it does not, then the room needs to be rearranged.

Good post!

WONDERFUL advice. That also applies to our own lives. There should be something that draws people to us...something that captures their attention from the first contact...the light of Christ in us. GBU!
