4. EMPHASIS
“Every room needs a focal point—the area that draws your eye. Whether it’s an existing focal point (say an exposed brick wall) or a chosen one (a great patterned armchair), you need to emphasize the area around it so that everything else leads the eye to the focal point. You can also emphasize to divert the eye from an existing focal point (an ugly fireplace) by placing hot colors or small and visually interesting items away from the area” (Rooney, 2008).
