The feminine design encompasses curves, edges, muted color palettes, soft textures, and asymmetry. And while this theme symbolizes the beauty of the female sex and womanhood, it isn’t limited to creating “girly” spaces in your home.
In fact, feminine-inspired decor balances out harsh edges, blocky furniture pieces, and bold colors embodied by masculine design. That said, here are four feminine decor elements you may introduce to create gentler moods for your home:
The feminine ideal is about softness and gentleness. That said, a neutral pastel palette is an ideal color scheme to achieve a dainty and pleasing home environment. Some of the best feminine colors include neutral shades of pink, yellow, blue, lilac, and green for your walls, carpets, curtains, bedding, or furniture sets. These colors will match the creams and beiges of the interiors at Idesia Dasmariñas.
Now, if you want your neutral pastels to not look flat, select pieces with shimmer or metallic finishes. For example, if you’ve repainted your walls with a muted pink or yellow, finish the paint job with a glaze of metallic or pearlescent gloss paint. Doing so will add a subtle shimmer to your space and perhaps add a bit of light.
Flowers symbolize beauty, love, and fertility, three qualities closely associated with the female form. They’re also perfect for revitalizing any indoor space as they link nature into the home. Place a vase or jar of fresh or dried flowers on your dining table, bedside drawer, or center coffee table. And if you want the complete feminine feel, choose flowers such as roses, peonies, or carnations as these have ruffles and soft curves ideal for the theme.
But if you aren’t a fan of flowers or if you are allergic to them, floral prints are suitable alternatives. You may find flower patterns and designs on curtains, carpets, couch covers, cabinets, chinaware, and paintings. Keep in mind that subtlety is key to the feminine design. For example, couple your neutral room with accents such as a floral tea set, a box of potpourri, or a few ruffled throw pillows.
Animal prints may be bold, but they add a sexy and vixen-like texture into your otherwise soft and relaxing space. In a way, they add spice and aesthetics to any feminine-inspired room. And because animal prints tend to have darker colors, use them in a way that doesn’t overwhelm the whole area.
Let’s say you want to add leopard prints into your living room. Suitable pieces include throw pillows, rug, artwork, and couches. For your bedroom, leopard-patterned duvets and soft rugs, and a pair of furry slippers are perfect accents. Choose animal prints with soft pink color for a total feminine feel.
If animal prints and patterns aren’t your cups of tea, add soft textures into your home with faux fur. Select whether you want long or short fur for your carpets, pillow, table cloth, blanket, or furniture upholstery.
Incorporating faux fur into your feminine space will also need subtlety. Choose two fur items to decorate each feminine-themed room. For instance, add two faux fur decorative pillows on your curved couch. Place a small fur rug on the side of your bed to cushion the area you step on first when you wake up.
Overall, feminine decor elements involve gentle textures, soft curves, nature, and muted tones. Now that Women’s Month is here, use these four decor elements to establish a pleasant space that resonates with your femininity.
