Creating a good focal point is very important in every living area, whether it is an indoor space or an outdoor space.  Without a good focal point your eye doesn’t have a good place to rest, and a room or space looks more like junk or cluttered.

Lot of the times there are too many things that we like so we tend to keep all of them, hoping that all your items get equal attention.  Naturally so, you are proud of the things that you have and want to show off all of it.  But in doing this you are losing all of your items in the space.  So what I would suggest is that you pick one big item and two or three smaller or medium size items to set up your place.  Having one big item as your focal point and the other items as a background, on tables or other areas of the room.    You can always rotate the items that you have stored away to bring out the new look.

The idea behind creating a focal point outdoors is similar.  Sometimes you have all the same size of plants, or they all lose leaves in winter, or the leaves are same colors, shape or texture.  This is where you would not get a strong focal point. 

So when designing your landscape, you have many things to keep in mind.  The bigger trees or plants, flowering trees, create good focal point.  Or it can even be accessories like pond, water fountain, and other decorative accessories.  Make sure not to get too carried away, otherwise your outside could also look cluttered and not have a good focal point.
