I believe all rooms should be entertaining. It should be a visual treat to come for a visit with interesting and unique objets d' art to mesmerize and stimulate conversation. If you want visitors to your home to leave amazed and envious, make a statement with a larger-scale element of surprise
Bigger and bolder IS better when you want an easy way to add tons of excitement and drama. Incorporating statement pieces into your decor not only helps you add interest, but also that wow factor you’re are looking for. Try an oversized object, an unconventional piece of art, bold colors and textures, or a whimsical piece of furniture. Besides offering an element of surprise, incorporating unexpected statement accents into an interior can put your personal stamp on a room.
