Your Room’s Focal Point

Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds

A room’s focal point is can help determine its interior design, including anything from decorations to furniture arrangement. At F&R Interiors serving the greater Los Angeles area, we know that tying a room’s aesthetics together can be daunting, so we’re more than happy to help you through the process, including determining the focal point of the room. Check out our tips for establishing your focal point, and contact one of our consultants for your particular questions.

Where Vision Goes

When you walk into the room, notice where your eye is automatically drawn—that’s most likely the current focal point. It might be the window, a large piece of furniture, your TV, a fireplace, or a particular collection of artwork. In many rooms, because they carry strong lines and are defined by natural light, windows are the natural focus.

Window as the Focal Point

If your window is, indeed, the focal point, be sure that how you approach its look holds up both inside and out. Based on color, texture, and pattern, window treatments can advance into a room or recede from it. Timeless colors (like neutrals) and textures (like linens) will add softness. Using drapery as a layer can give you added depth and drama in the space. Especially if it’s bold, color can make a window advance into the room and can make other design elements recede. To help your window treatments look the best from the outside, make them match as best as possible by ensuring they are the same color and carry the same lines.

About Window Styles

As you consider how to decorate your window, think about a few things, including the view: If the view is attractive, accentuate it; if it’s not, consider playing it down. Also, think about the function of your window fashion:

  • Select a vertically oriented treatment for larger windows or sliders. You can determine how your vertical product opens: in the middle, to one side, or completely out of the way. Some excellent vertical products from Hunter Douglas include Skyline® Gliding Panels, Duette® Vertiglide™ Cellular Shades, and Vignette® Modern Roman Shades.
  • With a horizontal opening, you can choose from operating options such as the top-down/bottom-up feature, which lets you open from the bottom, from the top, or both. This operation works well in bathrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms, and you can add it to Hunter Douglas horizontal products such as Provenance® Woven Woods, Duette® Cellular Shades, and Solera® Soft Shades.
