Centering your design around one piece of furniture

When you find a piece of furniture you really love, you want to show it off. Centering your design around one piece of furniture is a great way to create a focal point in your décor. It is easy to do with a few affordable design ideas.

Symmetry. Create balance around the piece you are showcasing. Organize your other furniture and accessories so that they are symmetrical to each other and to the center piece. It will draw attention to that piece and also balance other aspects of your design.

Color. Base your color scheme on your main piece. If it has a pattern, pull the wall, drapery, and accessory colors from it. Make sure the colors of the other decorative items in the room complement your piece or make it stand out. Don’t decorate with colors that will clash with your piece of furniture.

Lighting. To really draw attention to your piece of furniture, light it in the most flattering way. Arrange the piece so natural light will hit it or set up lamps around it to create a warm glow. Think of it as the star in a Broadway play, and create a spotlight for it!

Style. What is the style of your featured furniture piece? Does it have straight, clean lines and contemporary design? Then keep the rest of your design contemporary with muted colors and minimal décor. Or is it a wooden, rustic piece best complemented by country quilts and elements of nature?
