How to Use Statement Pieces In Small Spaces
Share
Statement pieces are the focal points of your apartment. They're the things that draw your eye and make you stop in your tracks, whether it's a wall full of artwork or an oversized sofa that takes up half the room.
The reason why statement pieces are so important when decorating a small room is because they help to break up all the empty space that can otherwise feel overwhelming when there isn't much else going on in it. A large painting or sculpture will give you something interesting to look at while also adding visual interest to what would otherwise be just another white wall--and if you're lucky enough to have some furniture with personality, then even better!
Choosing the Right Statement Pieces
-
Consider the size, colour and texture of the pieces.
-
Determine the purpose of the statement piece. Is it going to be a focal point? A conversation starter? Or are you just looking to add some pizzazz?
-
Look for pieces that will complement the existing décor. If you have an eclectic style, then choose something that matches with your other furniture pieces but still stands out as its own unique piece of art or décor in your home.
Where to Find Statement Pieces
There are a number of places to find statement pieces, but the most obvious is online. You can find all kinds of vintage furniture and accessories on sites like Etsy, eBay and of course on Maravi.co.uk
Another good option is charity shops, which often have interesting pieces at low prices. If you don't live near one, try searching for local charities that sell their donated items online (you may even be able to get something delivered).
Antique shops and flea markets are also good options for finding statement pieces; however, since these places tend not to specialise in furniture or accessories as much as other stores do (and therefore don't have as many options), it's best if your budget allows for some extra spending money so that you can afford something truly unique!
How to Incorporate Statement Pieces
The first step to incorporating statement pieces into your room is choosing a focal point. You want the piece to be the centrepiece of the room and focus on it, so choose something that's eye-catching and looks great from all angles.
Next, don't overcrowd the space with too many other items around it; this will make your statement piece less noticeable or even overwhelming if there are too many things competing for attention in one area of your home. Finally, keep any surrounding décor minimal--you don't want anything else competing with or detracting from what should be at centre stage!
Statement Pieces for Different Areas
Statement pieces are a great way to decorate a small areas. They add personality and style to your space, but don't take up much room. You can use them in all areas of your home:
-
Living room - A statement piece for the living room could be anything from an art piece or an interesting lamp to a table runner or rug that catches the eye.
-
Bedroom - In this space, you want something that will help you relax and unwind at night, so consider adding some soft lighting like sconces on either side of your bed (or one above each side). You also might want some sort of accent pillow for extra comfort when reading in bed!
-
Kitchen - This area is all about functionality, but if there's any room left over after making sure everything works properly then go ahead and add something fun like colourful dishes or tools hanging from hooks by the sink so they're easy access when cooking up delicious meals!
-
Bathroom - We all know how important it is to have good hygiene habits so why not make them fun too? Try putting up some cute towels with matching washcloths underneath them so guests know exactly where everything goes right away instead of having them rummage through drawers looking for things themselves!

How to Style Statement Pieces
-
Layer different pieces. One of the best ways to create a statement piece is by layering different items together. A good example of this would be using a large piece of artwork and then adding smaller decorative items around it (such as pillows or vases). This creates an interesting juxtaposition between big and small, which helps draw attention away from any empty space in your apartment.
-
Add texture and colour. If you're working with limited space, it's important that each item has its own personality so that it stands out against all other elements in your home décor and there are two ways you can do this: firstly by adding texture through materials like velvet or suede; secondly by choosing bold colours that pop against neutral backgrounds such as white walls (which tend not only look great but also make rooms appear larger than they actually are).
-
Create focal points throughout your room(s). One way we've seen people do this successfully is by placing large mirrors near windows where natural light shines through them at various times during day/night cycles - this creates additional light sources within rooms which makes them feel brighter overall!
Statement Pieces to Avoid
While statement pieces can be a great way to add personality to your space, there are certain types of art and décor that are better left out. These include:
-
Too-large pieces that dwarf the room or make it feel crowded
-
Busy patterns (think busy wallpaper) that distract from other elements in the room
-
Too many colours on one wall
In conclusion statement pieces can be a great way to add personality and style to a small room, but they should be chosen carefully and incorporated with thought. If you're going to make the effort of choosing statement pieces for your home, it's important that they reflect who you are as an individual.
