HOW TO MAKE PEACE IN DECOR
Put on your helmets ladies and men you might need a bullet proof vest to live this one through. The Battle of the sexes has begun! And it´s a war not even a good few men might win - - men versus women in decor — and even though we love the song by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong ¨Let´s call this whole thing off¨ that said as follows: You like potato and I like potahto,You like tomato and I like tomahto Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto. Let's call the whole thing off…. I say let´s not just yet and let´s get creative in having fun in how we can make this war come to an end as we begin a stylish space that is perfect for both sexes.
Now we all know the ladies like
to have all the say in the home décor, and after they create a full girly-like
environment they wonder why their man is never home and out with the boys or
caved in at work. Ladies please would you like to stay home if it looked like a
sports bar? Lets learn to compromise without sacrificing your style, space or
gender comfort. In other words lets dance this project off with both individual
rhythms and how can we do this? Well, let’s play a little game… First let´s have
both of you write in a paper 3 types of your personality, they can be: a)
Roughed Casual b) Bohemian Chic c) Office Chic…. Now let´s have both of you
dress like the first type of personality like the examples below and I want you
to pay attention to the following:
If she dressed like the picture above and your partner does not necessarily like to have a green huge couch you may add a touch of green with a plant or something subtle, the animal print belt is represented with the giraffe animal accessory on top of the entrance armoire, now pay attention to the ring. the ring is represented with the art work which works beautifully over a white wall... Now the space is neutrally beautiful for both sexes to feel comfortable in their own skin…
Another tip is each of you choose a space which best suites your personality, the entrance for example could work great for the woman since she should be the hostess of the home.
In this example taking note of the kind of jewellery she wore we can apply that to the lamp, pick a trendy and fun lamp that both of you like. The jeans and the blouse can play part in the artwork chosen for the space and the purse can be applied to the space by two side benches with animal print.
This beautiful outfit above being my favourite and the easiest to do because of the navy blue colour and the print of the dress. Now pay attention in how you can apply the print in the armchair, curtains or pillows, the jewellery with the lamps and side tables, the leather purse to trims of the couch, table top surface colour or rug... are you getting a hang of it? Cause I am thrilled once again to play this game and make everyones life easier... Ok, ok, ok, now when the game was getting fun it can only get funner with the Macho man part...… So take a look!
If He is the kind of man who is elegant, trendy and is not scared to take risks in colour but still wants to keep his macho man on two feet, we can apply a bit of accent colour in the space like the kitchen stools, and why the kitchen if he is a man? Well, ladies like my grandmother always said: A woman conquers a man´s heart through the stomach, so make sure he feels vey in love with his kitchen and doesn't go looking through someone else's pots and pans... The most important tip of all times, lets be wise and learn it well.
Ufff... this cool and collected outfit rocks this dinning room, making it trendy sexy to spare all the love by socialising table times away... This bohemian chic look can be well put by the following: leather belt and bag and be deliciously applied with the wood and leather chairs, the retro fun wall paper. The casual jeans can be our rough hard stepping taking wool rug, the elegant blazer can be our buffet console and curtains in the back, and last but not least keep some purity in the room with the glass table and glass ball lamp, like the eyeballs that wont keep of this room, cause we loveeee it don't we?
And last but not least, this divine way to put jeans and a basic T-shirt to its maximum power indeed! Can you tell me why? I think we have learned enough to put this war of the sexes to and end and remember that every space has a meaning and a purpose just like you and your partner in each others lives , give both the respect they deserve and never, ever stop having fun with decor or with each other... Enjoy the renewal of your vows thru your renewed loving home. Cheers to happy times
