Finding The Focal Point Of A Room

“Architecture begins where engineering ends.” This is true in every sense, because at the end of the day more than anything else it is the architecture of a building that matters. That is the reason why people admire Victorian architecture and not the engineering.  Art and architecture walk hand in hand; as someone said, “While art is something to be looked at, architecture is something you can walk through”. There are many common factors that art and architecture share, one of which is the focal point. Every house or building has its own focal point that will grab your attention even unconsciously. Every single room will have its focal point. The focal point of a room can be anything from an architectural feature like a fireplace or the staircase to a furniture piece to any grand furnishing like an expensive rug. Thus the focal point becomes the dominant feature of a room with the rest of the accessories orderly arranged with respect to that. You can make anything a focus point of your choice by using contrast colors etc that compliments it and has a natural flow towards it.

 

The focal point is celebrating its grand comeback with the increasing popularity from Victorian and Roman architecture , where each pillar in a building was built for an aesthetic purpose. You can invite the same charm and noblesse into your own condo if you can recognize the focal point of your apartment and more importantly of each room. Soon you will also find your guests inclined to those beautiful windows, failing to notice the small crack over the wall. It is more than easy to find the focal point of a room. Find out how.
