Blending Masculine and Feminine Styles

by Evelyn Eshun

Blending feminine and masculine décor elements creates a balanced room which appeals to various design aesthetics. In our wardrobe, for instance, a pair of jeans with a masculine black jacket will appear more appealing on a woman when paired with a fabulous pair of open toe wedges and a colourful silk blouse. For a man, that same outfit is fantastic with a slim fit pastel French cuffed shirt and patterned tie. The same principles apply in interior design. A balanced room will have elements of both sensibilities. After all, one of the key lessons in design school is the creation of tension and harmony between elements and shapes.

This dining room is also well balanced. Florals, a curvy chandelier and feminine drapes provide the perfect contrast to a very simple, structured table and chairs.

Masculine fabrics tend to be heavier and textural while feminine fabrics tend to be softer with patterns such as damasks and florals.
