Why does my living room feel unfinished?
Usually the eye has nowhere to land. Everything in the room is a similar height and a similar tone. To fix it, give one surface the right piece, or the right pair, in a colour the room already has.
What does the fix look like?
Both photos show the same room. In the first photo, the sideboard holds a row of small things. They are all about the same height.
In the second photo, it holds a pair of Royal Blue vases in two heights. The blue matches the artwork and the cushions. Now the eye has a place to land.
Is your room missing the same thing?
Pick one surface, such as a coffee table or a sideboard. Then answer three quick questions.
- Is everything about the same height? Add one taller piece, or a pair in two heights.
- Does no colour repeat? Pick a colour from a cushion or an artwork, and use it again.
- Does nothing catch your eye first? Use one piece, and leave clear space around it.
Which WINKOO piece gives the eye a place to land?
A WINKOO vase is a sculptural piece in one solid colour. It looks good empty, so it does not need flowers.
Most people choose Noma at 24 cm, which costs A$169. Noma is our most chosen shape.
For a large surface, the 34 cm Noma costs A$269. It is our tallest size.
Should you choose one piece or a pair?
One piece is enough on a small surface. Does it look a bit empty? Then add an 18 cm vase beside the 24 cm vase. Two heights give the spot a clear shape.
You can find the 18 cm size in the shop.
Your room doesn't need more. It needs the right piece, or the right pair.
Which colour should you choose?
Choose a colour the room already has, such as the colour of a cushion, a throw or an artwork. You can keep your furniture and your walls as they are.
