Creating Wow Factor

If you’re having trouble making a room really stand out, often the problem is the lack of “wow factor”. The best way to attain this in a room is by adding appealing pieces that have a real point of difference from the other pieces in the room. The use of textures, patterns and colours can really add to this effect. The Molly Suspension Lamp is the perfect example of an eye catching light using textures to draw attention. This piece also features an oblong shape which creates interest and makes this an ideal piece to use over a dining table.

Colour is another obvious option for pushing the boundaries in a room. The Mosspink Sofa really achieves this through the use of a unique shade of blue combined with a distinctive colour. When used with other pieces of more subtle colours, this bright lounge will pop and give a distinctive look to a room.

The introduction of patterns always works well as an eye catcher. The Constance Fabric Occasional Chair takes a classical French inspired shape and brings it into the present with a contemporary and bright floral pattern, along with gold painted edges. This use of bright and fun pattern can easily be sat alongside a plain coloured sofa by matching one of the colours in the patterned fabric.

Adding wow factor to a room can easily be done if you know what to look for. It’s certainly not necessary to go over the top by painting everything in gold, however single standout pieces are what really add something special to a space. This is ultimately what makes the space really you and sets your home apart from a showroom space.
