How to create a simple and relaxed home - Part Five

Create focal points


Creating a fabulous focal point in a room is a great way to re-energize a space. It is also a great way to take the focus off the less attractive features of a room. Focal points can be as simple as a bowl of fresh fruit in the middle of a table, a fire or candles, a well-placed photograph or book.

Surround yourself with objects that you love and make your heart sing. Beautiful and treasured belongings cause us to slow down and pause. As we take in these loved items, we connect with what is meaningful to us.

Create focal points with art, objects and pictures, or by highlighting beautiful views.
