How to Glam Up your Interior!

As promised in my last post How to Man Up your Interior here are my sure fire tips on  How to Glam up for Gals without looking like a sissy!  


 " The room is saved from being overly masculine in design, by the addition of these white sculpted  board room chairs" Charmaine Wynter

I bet you think my post is going to be about adding pretty pink floral pictures, satin pillows, ribbons and lace curtains, poofs and frilly accents like that, right?~ Not so. 

1. Start with the basics
When designing a room for female appeal its important to think with your senses; How things look, how they feel, as well as, how they smell plays a huge role in the way a gal enjoys a room.  For her, 
its natural to want to touch or feel so add a throw on the end of the bed or draped over the back of a sofa she won't be able to resist touching it...which could lead to her touching you!


2. Keep colors simple
A neutral colour scheme of white, black and grey creates a sense of harmony and an atmosphere of comfort that will never go out of style and will ensure that the room can be enjoyed by both sexes. But color is a strong draw for us gals ~ So add color as accent chairs, toss cushions or as trim detail- you can always move small items quickly, to another room on poker night.

" While manly in feel, the flowers flanking the bathroom vanity offer balance to an otherwise dominant decor" Charmaine Wynter

3. Remember your lighting
What woman doesn't want to be the queen of the castle? Fella's, rid yourself of hag lighting (tiny builder ceiling lights) Instead if you dare, hang a crystal chandelier which captures light and adds sparkle making her skin look enticing and showcases her at her irresistible best.

Finally remember guys, any space can be designed in a beautiful manner but when you enter a room that smells like hockey practice it's an instant girl chaser a simple way to feminize a space is to incorporate plants to keep it smelling fresh.

I'm sure these tips are enough to get you started;  should you need additional design help Look me up at www.wynterinteriors.com  Victoria Seguin
