subject: Taking His And Her Things And Blending Them In [print this page] Mixing and matching items is not just for different colors, shapes or sizes. His and hers count too. A shared abode means the presence of his stuff and her stuff. Making these things work can be done, don't worry.
First of all, are you wondering why you would want to blend the stuff together? Well, as a general rule, pink dots on her side do not go with black, green and orange lines on his side. There are so many designs that could just clash together. For instance, if a male were to move into a female's apartment and set up his stuff as well, how would this look? Obviously, it would not look too good. With that said, we believe you should read this article further.
Instead of going all out feminine or too macho, do a middle ground. Compromise. Say, the bathroom rug can be in a neutral shade instead of a pink, fluffy one. The area rug in the porch doesn't need to have a sports theme to express enthusiasm in welcoming guests. Female friends may be confused if they went to the right house. So why not stick to a bright-colored rug to shout out that welcome greeting?
Painting the walls should also take into account both his and her look. Together with this, the decorations should also be paired well together. A black cabinet from the guy will look nice with white upholstered chairs from the girl.
What works is balance, the yin and yang. A white table with floral carving may be balanced out with a wrought iron candleholder or an industrial lampshade. The black and white photos on the walls can be coordinated with some scented colorful candles on the tables.
Furniture pieces don't have to correspond to his and hers exclusively. Neutral colors will do. Even a black leather couch won't have to look too masculine with bright-colored throws as accessories.
