Having a focal point is important to make a room feel comfortable and attractive to potential buyers. Some rooms naturally have focal points like fireplaces or windows, but you can create one with large furniture against the wall, a mirror or painting, or a table decorated with ornaments. A fireplace makes the best focal point for a living room, while a bed is typically the focal point of a bedroom when placed along the longest wall. Properly arranging all other furniture around the focal point helps draw the eye to that central location.
