His & Hers

His Style Meets Her Taste!

When you decide to spend forever with that "special" someone... you also decide to spend forever with their "special" sense of home decor! 

How do you make a gender neutral happy home, you ask?

EASY!

I promise.

But first-- what makes her space feminine.. and what makes his space so masculine? Obviously, you walk into a pink room and it screams woman... and dark leather couches and plain walls cries man.. but really what is it?

Meet: The Woman.

It's not always the obvious PINK that makes a room feminine. There are a lot of feminine touches that can make any room scream wife. 

Exhibit A.

Sure the room is completely PINK.. but wait.. what else do you see?

WOMANLY TOUCHES~

Note: The use of one color yet different shades throughout the entire room. It doesn't matter if it's blue, pink, red or yellow -- no man would do this.

Now notice the chandelier -- a very womanly touch of room character.

Now take a look at the floral print pillows -- enough said.

Notice the sheer curtains -- femininity at it's finest!

**Now I am not going to say -- Note the fur on the bed. Because, this doesn't necessarily need to be categorized as feminine. In fact, a lot of men find a fur look cozy -- Think man cave. Now the pink instantly makes this room sing the praises of woman -- but a white fur can make it into the "new home" with your man EASILY! :)

Meet: The Man.

When I think man -- I think man cave, plaid furniture  leather, plain walls, and  dark woods. Your thought's might be different.. they might be the same. Let's just assume they are the same - No woman wants a plaid couch. No woman.

Exhibit B.

Now what do you see here?

MASCULINE TOUCHES~

Note the flowers on the table -- this is a small touch of decor (nice?) HOWEVER, no matter how many flower you put in this room - it is still going to be masculine! Why? Because of these reasons:

Plaid.

Dark Woods -- Accented by PLAID.

Plain walls.

Lack of color.

Plain windows -- without curtains or other coverings

A womanly touch to this room would be color!!!!

So how do you find happiness? Your man doesn't want to live in every little girls fairy tale . but you don't want to live in his man cave either. (Isn't that what the basement bedroom is for?)

Exhibit C.

Go with a more neutral color palette to create happiness. Some men can't do too much color. To add some sort of pop, maybe do a red accent pillow? Or a blue vase on the table?

Bring your feminine touches to the table by adding some much needed decor to the furniture, walls, and overall appearance of the room.

Bring some masculine touches with a neutral color palette, dark wood furnishings, and sleep appeal.

And bring that fur blanket, because.. why not?
