English Lessons: Be Your Own Designer

Create a Focal Point

Every room needs an eye-catching feature, but for maximum style you don't want it to be the TV. It's easy if your living room has a fireplace, but if not, create an attention-grabbing alternative, such as a console table.

Add a display of framed photographs above the table to make a focal point that you can position the sofas around, or if you don't have the time to find and frame your photos, a selection of decorative plates will look just as striking.
