How to Choose Statement Furniture That Reflects Your Personal Style

Whether you’re on a budget or transforming an entire room, statement furniture has a big impact on any space. The secret to choosing statement pieces is to find styles that reflect your personal taste and complement your interiors. Statement furniture should catch your eye as soon as you walk into the room, without sticking out or feeling out of place. 

It's easy to feel overwhelmed when choosing statement furniture. You want a piece that reflects your personal style, while being functional and making a visual statement. That’s where bespoke furniture excels. 

At Siena Home, we’ll help perfect your space with timelessly elegant statement furniture, while keeping it chic and contemporary. In this style guide, we’re sharing our advice on how to choose statement furniture that reflects your personal style for any room in your home. 

Statement furniture looks a little bit different for everyone. We all have our personal tastes and what make a statement to one person could look understated for someone else. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to statement furniture. These pieces are showstoppers, designed to be noticed and serve as a focal point of your space. 

A statement piece of furniture is often an investment, typically one of the more expensive pieces in your home. They’re a conversation starter, infecting a little of your personality into the room. Whether you’re renting or own your home, statement furniture is the ultimate way to make every room feel uniquely your own.

You can invest in statement furniture at any time for any room. Whatever your budget, statement furniture is an easy way to bring new life to a space or transform the look of a room. 

One of the benefits of statement furniture is that it naturally creates a focal point for your room, grabbing your attention and setting the tone for your space. An elevated statement piece, like our ‘Khalani’ chair, instantly elevates your room, giving it a modern look and feel.

While it’s easy to get caught up in momentary trends, your home should reflect your personal style. It’s normal to want to invest in high-quality and timeless pieces that will stand the test of time. Statement furniture is an easy way to update your space with a new look, showcasing your personality and making your home feel one-of-a-kind. Functional pieces like our ‘Akio’ ceiling light are instantly conversation starters and create a more immersive living space. 

Knowing how to style your statement furniture is just as important as choosing the right piece. Having an idea of how you want to style your furniture can help you find the perfect bespoke piece that ticks all the boxes – being functional, aesthetic, and an anchor for the rest of your styling. 

Here are 5 styling tips for statement furniture:

1. Allow Your Statement Furniture to Tell The Story

How you style a room tells a story, both of its functionality and your personal taste. Every piece of statement furniture is chosen because of the story it tells. You might choose an antique dresser because it reminds you of your grandparents or invest in a marble coffee table as it invokes a feeling of timeless elegance. 

2. Experiment with Scale and Proportion

While most statement furniture is large in size, you don’t want it to be too big for your space as it can feel overwhelming. While you want to experiment with scale and proportion, keep everything in proportion.

3. Get Inspired by Your Personal Style

A statement piece gives you the freedom to get inspired by your personal style without worrying about all your décor becoming dated with time. Follow your instincts and use resources like Pinterest and our lookbook for styling inspiration. Choose a piece that showcases your personality, whether it’s with a colour palette or a design aesthetic. 

4. Define Your Room’s Space and Purpose

Before you start shopping for statement furniture, consider the purpose of the room you want it for. An oversized piece like our ‘Anaya’ sofa is the perfect choice for an entertainment room or cosy sitting room as a tranquil retreat. Having a floor plan can make it easier to understand how much space you have to work with and what size your statement furniture can be.

5. Prioritise Functionality 

It’s easy to get carried away when choosing statement furniture. While you want a piece that stands out and feels unique, it’s likely to take up a sizable portion of your room. You want to strike a balance between being a statement and having a functional piece.

Search for statement pieces that can be multi-functional. Our ‘Luka’ cabinet features large window panes and a wood body, the perfect choice for a contemporary bar cart or as a small TV stand.
