A Bedroom for Both of You

One of the little-discussed issues of marriage is the problem of the bedroom. No, not that problem; the problem of finding a style that suits both of you — one that's not too girly and not too bachelor pad. No man wants to remove 25 floral pillows before turning in. And no woman wants to live forever with black laminate furniture, change jars on the dresser and beige walls. That's where good design comes in.


If you can't agree on color, go neutral. Just make sure you do it with intention. Here, layers of beige and gray in different hues add interest and make the room look comfortably put together.


Dark colors are traditionally associated with a more masculine vibe. But the feminine lines of the bench and the tufted love seat balance out the color scheme.


This bedroom is high glamour all the way, but sticking to a palette of gray and silver keeps it from looking like a starlet's dressing room. Even a macho man could sleep here.


This bedroom is warm and bright and completely gender neutral without being personality-less. Those two touches of pattern in the curtain and on the throw pillows are the perfect feminine-masculine balance.

These bedrooms strike a perfect balance between feminine and masculine so that both of you can feel at home. Browse to see more bedroom ideas.
