Create focal points
Focal points can be created by using elements like wall hangings, picture frames etc. They are not necessary but they add considerably to the personality of the room if well chosen and well placed. Landscapes, seascapes, street scenes, flower prints and still life pictures are all which can be used for traditional areas of the house.

The colors and textures of pictures should harmonize with those used in the room. For example, a rectangular wall picture at the back of a big couch on a wall will look better than having a square wall hanging, which will give just an incomplete look.
If you like to collect and display art prints, family photos and others, take care to find beautiful frames that enhance their value. If you display a collection of family photos in a room, use frames in either of the two focal colors, or you can even mix the colors. It can add brightness and pleasant touch to your space.

Consider using a throw rug under a coffee table or in front of a favorite chair. You can scatter smaller rugs in multiple places for a warming effect as well. Place one at the entrance to the room, another in front of each chair and in other places to add color as well as texture to the room.
Another great way to accent a room is by using throw blankets. Select a few focal colors from a painting or the area rug in a room and match throw blankets to those colors. These throws can be placed on a nearby couch or chair and can even just be folded and stalked in the corner for use when visitors get cold.
