6. Focusing on one or two statement pieces can take your space from ordinary to extraordinary in no time.
The thing about statement pieces is that they have to stand out. In a Japandi-style room, the space will be decorated with mostly neutral tones, so you can allow yourself to have a few surprise pieces in there. That is where you can mix it up. Juxtaposition is the name of the game here. Try to do something in this space you haven’t done yet. Statement pieces don’t just have to be a pop of color, though that is undoubtedly allowed; they can be anything that speaks to you. If you are excited about a specific pattern or color, then go for that too.

Though you don’t need to match your statement piece to anything, it must not stand out like a sore thumb. Instead, try to tie it into the area in three accent areas, as we talked about with blending geometric patterns. Once you are done adding your statement pieces, colors, and patterns, take a step back and look at the overall space. Consider taking a picture to see how it all blends. Sometimes moving something from one spot to another makes all the difference!
