3 Simple Tips for Choosing the Perfect Statement Piece
Just Pick One!
Simplicity prevails when it comes to statement pieces. Too many elaborate pieces will draw the eye in all directions, creating a sense of confusion rather than cohesion. Instead, focus the attention on one stand-out piece.
Make it Timeless, Yet Playful
To ensure your space feels fresh and relevant for a long time, choose a statement piece with a timeless design. While you can certainly incorporate trends in your design, a classic piece is less likely to go out of style.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Your statement piece should reflect your personality, providing a playful touch that adds character to the room. For example, the Restoration Hardware Wagon Coffee Table has an old-world charm and a unique quirkiness. See for yourself here.
Pay Attention to Scale & Proportion
Make sure your chosen piece works with the architecture of the room. A statement piece that is too big can overwhelm the room, while one that is too small might not capture attention in the way you are hoping for.
Types of Statement Pieces
Furniture
From a canopy bed to a stone dining room table, distinctive furniture pieces can make a statement. For example, the Restoration Hardware Aviation Table provides a punch of style without being too flashy. This industrial-style table can serve as the center of your space, flanked by white or black sofas and chairs. Shop it here.
Artwork
Whether a large abstract painting or a marble sculpture, art can provide the focal point of your room. Choose a piece that speaks to you and let it command the attention of everyone in the room.
Lighting
Lighting is another form of art that can give your space that ‘wow factor.’ While it is not often the focal point, certain fixtures, like a large crystal chandelier or the Restoration Hardware Globe Mobile Boom Floor Lamp, instantly draw the eye when you enter a room.
Rugs
Rugs with bold patterns or bright colors can serve as your statement piece while setting the foundation for a room. Bring everything together with a rug that coordinates with the rest of your design. The Restoration Hardware Diamante Area Rug makes a subtle statement while serving as a neutral, chic foundation for a living, dining, or bedroom space.
Countertops
Statement stone is trending now, but it will never go out of style. Create a statement in your kitchen or bathroom with colorfully veined marble or serene quartz countertops. You can even opt for a striking waterfall countertop, where the stone extends to the floor.
Custom Built-Ins
Custom built-ins maximize a room’s functionality while enhancing its architecture. Here are some examples of custom built-ins that make a statement.
- Fireplace
- Kitchen Hood
- Entertainment Center
- Bookshelves
- Bay Windows
