HOW TO USE SIGHTLINES, TEXTURE, AND LIGHT TO ANCHOR EVERY SPACE IN YOUR HOME The 5 Focal Points Every Room Needs
The fix is learning to see your home the way a designer does, through sightlines and focal points. A focal point is simply the spot where your eye naturally lands when you walk into a space. Most homes under 3,600 square feet only need three to five well-placed focal points to feel intentional and connected. Here’s how to find yours.
Most of us decorate the way we grew up decorating: one room at a time. You pick a paint color for the living room, hang some art, and eventually invest in a statement chair. Months later, you tackle the bedroom. Then the dining room. Each space ends up fine on its own, but walk from the front door to the back of the house and something feels off. The rooms don’t talk to each other.
