An Old World Solution

If you’re into florals and feminine shabby but he wants steel and streamlined modern, an Old World room can be your middle ground.

THE MASTER BEDROOM

It’s a place to dream for him, but a romantic dreamscape for you. You may want nothing more than to take shabby furnishings and a pastel pink paintbrush to transform the room into a feminine get away, perfect for reading Jane Austen novels and sipping tea. But relationships require compromise—especially when it comes to interior decorating.

Compromise doesn’t mean you have to trade in beauty for a completely gender-neutral space furnished with contemporary pieces. Pink and florals are not the only décor themes that inspire romance. Instead, learn how to recreate this amorous retreat with elements of Old World style.
