Should Your Husband Have a Say in Bedroom Decor?
Consider What Colors Your Husband Likes
When choosing bedroom decor, you may want to think about what colors your husband likes - as well as what ones he hates. What if your husband really, really hates yellow with a passion? Are you going to paint the room yellow? How would you feel if he painted the room red, even though it is a color that you really hate? Keep in mind that colors are known to trigger emotions in people, so it is best to avoid colors that you know your husband hates and instead opt for ones that you know he can deal with.
Try to Think of Themes For Both Genders
Although you may have always dreamed of having a pink cheetah print bedroom, it may not be the best choice if you want to choose a theme for decor that your husband will really like. You wouldn't want him to decorate the bedroom in a very manly theme. Always try to find a theme for decorating your bedroom which is appropriate for both genders. Whether it is checkerboard or stripes, you will be sure to find something which isn't too girly.
Your Husband Also Lives in the Bedroom
The most important thing that you are going to need to remember is that your husband also lives in the bedroom, no matter how much time he spends or does not spend in it. For this reason alone, you may want to think about taking his thoughts into consideration when you are decorating the bedroom. If you respect the way that your husband feels and want to create a relaxing atmosphere for him, then it is best to think about whether or not he would be happy with your bedroom decor.
Women often think about the fact that men do not care about decorating when they are trying to choose bedroom decor. However, whenever possible, it is best to compromise. You would probably not want someone to take full control of the decor in your living space. There is a good chance that your husband probably feels the same way. Although you may be the one who wants to take the most control of bedroom decor, it is still a good idea to get your husband's input when in doubt of whether he will like what you are planning or not.

Post a CommentYour article proves that men and women should talk more when it comes to home decoration. My husband amazed me with what he liked our bedroom to look like. He likes what I call the foo-foo stuff. I thought that I was being flexible with going with less of a feminine touch when in fact he wanted the frills and lace. Also several years ago we both heard that our bedroom should be decorated to full fill our fantasies. We have yet to go that route since it would be more of a castle look with knights and damsels. Right now it is green bamboo and zebras.
Great piece...my hubby usually just says "yes, dear" :) He's so easy!!!!
Good point.
My comments are getting lost on this article and the one before it. You will probable get two on both articles.
Usually, I do the decorating, and he just go along with it.

Fortunately, my husband and I both like the same type of decor. We almost always agree on this topic. Excellent topic, Jody. :-)
OK, what happened to my comment? I just commented on this article! Anyway, what I said before was that this is a really good article and that it should be a joint decision that each couple make as a team.

This is a really good article. I like the stance that you took. I think that choosing the bedroom decor should be a joint decision. I like how my husband and I have been able to bring both of our tastes into decorating our bedroom. He has the kind of bedspread that he likes and I picked out the palm tree lamps.

Only my opinion counts when it comes to decorating. ;)
