A statement piece is all about impact. It catches your eye the moment you walk into
a room. No, not because it’s loud, but because it brings something unique and
beautifully designed to the space. Whether it’s a striking armchair, a sculptural
dining table, or a velvet bench, the right piece becomes the anchor for everything
else around it.
Here’s how to make statement furniture work in your home, without overwhelming
the space.
Every room only needs one main focal point. That could be your sofa, a marble
dining table, a curved bench, or a console with interesting texture or shape. The key
is to pick one that feels right for your space and let it take the lead.
Pro tip: If your space is more open or minimal, your statement piece can be bigger or
bolder. In tighter rooms, keep it interesting through material, color, or silhouette
instead of scale.
Statement pieces don’t need to compete. Once you’ve chosen your piece, give it
enough room to shine. This doesn’t mean the rest of the room has to be bland, just
more balanced!
Styling statement furniture is about contrast and harmony. If your piece has a
strong shape or material, like stone, lacquer, or wood, balance it with softer
elements like textiles, muted colors, or natural finishes.
You don’t have to go bright to make a statement. In fact, many standout pieces
today use color in a more subtle, refined way (deep greens, rich rusts, warm
neutrals). These tones draw attention without shouting.
Our advice: If your statement furniture is colorful, keep surrounding tones calm and
cohesive. If it’s more neutral, use pops of color in art, lighting, or smaller accessories
to create layers
If you pick it wisely, your statement piece can serve more than one purpose. A
bench in the entryway can double as storage. A large dining table can
accommodate both large gatherings and everyday meals. A sculptural sofa can also
be the most comfortable seat in your home.
We know you’ve had your eye on that statement piece but been holding back. Life’s
too short to shop normal furniture all the time. Go bold, have fun, and own your space!
