Home Bedroom Decor and Compromise
Agreeing with Your Partner on Home and
Bedroom Décor
Everyone has their own opinions and taste, especially when
it comes to art, color, and design. Because each individual has his or her own
idea of what will look best in a particular application, coming to an agreement
with your spouse, significant other, or roommate regarding home and bedroom
furniture décor can be a difficult task. However, there are ways to compromise
that will make the task less difficult and more enjoyable for both of
you.
First of all, each party should have his or her own space – a study,
a library, or separate bathrooms – where each person can express him- or herself
without any kind of compromise to a unique design or style that is pleasing to
their own senses. This means that, regardless of how much you may despise
avocado colored towels and pink floral wall paper, the cohabitant has every
right to decorate that one bathroom with those designs, should that be his or
her preference. It also means that your one room in the house need not conform
to the preferences of your cohabitant. In these rooms, the two of you have
separate free reign.
In shared rooms of the house or apartment, your home
décor may not be exactly what you want but won’t be your partner’s ideal design
either. The décor will be a compromise of the two tastes. For example, you may
like classical, Baroque style traditional wood beds with intricate carvings into
immense pieces of wood. On the other hand, your roommate or spouse may prefer
minimalist designs, much like the Japanese culture, where in traditional
households you’ll find precious little furniture, all of which is straight
forward containing little detail. Certainly you could settle on something that
caters a bit to both needs for living room furniture.
In some
areas of the house, it may seem like a given that one or the other of you makes
the majority of the decisions. Take into account the kitchen; if you are the
only one who ever cooks and your roommate or significant other can barely boil
water, then you are the likely candidate to choose the décor for the
kitchen.
Home decoration is about compromise when there are multiple
residents sharing the same location. While you will not always be in agreement
(and sometimes, rarely or NEVER agree) as to what style, color, or décor type is
the best and most appropriate for a living room or bedroom furniture design, you
can agree to disagree and compromise on the design in shared spaces while
maintaining individuality in personal space.
Design Tips:
1. Good
design continues to focus on comfort and style but things are less matched. That
is, rooms are done in a combination of styles, Warm Contemporary mixed with
Urban, Tuscan accents with Warm Contemporary lines and colors. At Sawmill
Furniture, our staff members have years of experience in the furniture and
decorating world. Our expertise can help you make that idea in your head a
reality in your home.
2. You can never go wrong with the classics. Trends
come and go but classics are timeless, invest your money wisely when it comes to
your home, even if you're just starting out in life.
3. Make your house
fly off the market. Clients want help with remodeling projects - which of course
includes redecorating - as a way of boosting the salability of their homes in a
softening market.
