Focal Point Ideas: Creating a Living Room Focal Point

Up for a quick living room focal point decorating idea?

If so, try this one on for size...

You can create a simple living room focal point by using an easel.

What you place on the easel doesn't have to be a painting either.

You can use a picture of your choice, have it framed and simply place it on an easel in the living room (or any room of your choice for that matter) and draw attention to it.

Easels and prints are fairly affordable. You can get an easel at just about any arts and craft store and countless prints are available at Art.com. Simply choose one that blends in with the theme of your room and place it wherever you like.



You'll also notice that easels tend to have trays for paints and other accessories. If that is the case with the easel you get, consider using the tray for complimentary decor, such as a small plant—artificial or real, your choice.

You could place it in the center of a room but of course, keep in mind it's not always the best place.

You can decide on the best location for a living room focal point by asking yourself where does a person's eyes rest when they first walk in your room. Or what do they see first upon entering?
