This 'n That Thursdays: Bold but Feminine Bedroom

From Katie Little Photography

I have never been an especially "girly" girl, but that does not mean I can't appreciate a more feminine design style.  In fact, I decided to create a style board for the sort of feminine bedroom that would appeal to me, just to prove that I could.  It is a room full of curves and floral patterns, with pink accents and dove grey walls. I did have to draw the line when it came to the color palette, though.  Pastels and soft, muted tones just don't work for me.  I prefer bold hues and high contrast -- hence the black and white color scheme with hits of hot pink:

Looking to add even more hot pink to this room?  Here's an idea -- hot pink cork flooring!

If pink is not for you, the accent color could easily be switched -- lemon yellow, turquoise, or even lavender would be equally good options.  I'm not quite ready to change my bedroom décor yet (I have a feeling that my husband would strongly object!), but if I were ever to crave a more feminine boudoir this would be it!
