What is focal point in landscape design?
The focal point is the place where the eye is naturally drawn. Of course, you can design landscape areas with no focal point – after all, it's your garden. However, if you do include a focal point, as any Beaverton landscaper will tell you, your garden will really stand out in the viewer's memory.
How do you choose a focal point?
Look around your room to determine the "biggest" feature. It may be a fireplace, a picture window, or a built-in bookcase. This will generally be your focal point. If your room has no distinguishing architectural features, identify the largest furniture pieces.
