Choose a style for a feminine-inspired bedroom to help you decide on how to decorate. For example, a shabby chic style involves pale colors, such as dusty rose or faded yellow, while a modern style might include brighter colors, such as fuchsia or red. Choose one primary and two to three accent colors for the best results.

Paint the walls a color that is appealing and works with a lady’s decor in mind. Pale pink or lavender are options but you could also go with a yellow shade or even an energizing shade of blue. Choose a red or orange shade if you want your room to feel warm.

Pick furniture that is comfortable and stylish. Choose worn or white furniture if you’re going with a shabby chic style. Pair a white vanity table with a matching nightstand for a cohesive look in the room. Wrought iron is another alternative. Look for a four-poster bed or a bed with a canopy for feminine charm.

Hang window treatments that evoke a lady-like atmosphere in the room. For romantic style, look for curtains with ruffles or lace. Hang curtains from the ceiling to the floor for a dramatic look. Choose sheer curtains for a casual and romantic look that doesn't block too much light.

Select fabrics that enhance the feminine atmosphere. Silk is luxurious, while chintz is inviting. Lace is dainty, while linens work with a vintage look. If your room is primarily floral, look for fabrics with stripes or plaids to add dimension.

Use soft lighting for romantic ambiance. Floor and table lamps bring warm light to rooms. For small glowing lights reminiscent of a soothing retreat, install wall sconces. Candles are inexpensive and easy ways to bring low light into a bedroom.
