Feminine style: modern furnishing ideas not only pink

The feminine style is characterised by harmony, versatility and great customisation of spaces.

Furnishing a home in feminine style means creating a relaxing and refined environment, delicate and balanced, characterised by elegant and bright colours.

Feminine style, a combination of elegance, practicality and personality

One of the hallmarks of feminine style is undoubtedly the brightness and vitality of the rooms, combined with a unique sophistication. In a feminine style environment, it is the details that make the difference. Not only the main furnishings, but also the decorative accessories and textures must offer a certain aesthetic pleasantness as well as versatility and functionality. Yes, because feminine style is synonymous with elegance, but an elegance that cannot be divorced from the practicality of space. What cannot be missing in a feminine style home is the personality and taste of the person living that space.

How feminine design is expressed

Expressing a certain femininity in a domestic environment is possible thanks to aesthetic devices capable of bringing that feminine touch that makes a space unique, leaving it as a sort of personal signature. Feminine design is never banal or inexpressive, but mixes combinations of colours, shapes, trends, materials and motifs to create unique and pleasurable living spaces in their entirety.

Women’s design is communicative, evocative and emotional at the same time. Therefore, it cannot be considered a limitation for the male sex as it symbolises a state of mind, certainly not a physical characteristic.

Feminine style not only in pink: trendy colours

Banally and erroneously, we tend to associate feminine design and style with pink. Furnishing a home in a feminine style does not only mean adding touches of pink to the home. Indeed, feminine charm is expressed through the use of delicate tones, soft shades and pastel colours.

More energetic and vivacious characters prefer different looks and thus combinations of bright and intense colours. Very light colours can go well with more intense tones. Black is also a perfect colour for a very glamorous feminine style home.

Often the starting point for a furnishing scheme with a feminine mood is white or light grey. Starting with these two neutral shades, it is then possible to play with an infinity of combinations. Powder pink or lilac are very refined combined with the natural colours of wood. Moroso’s antique pink Heartbreaker sofa, for example, characterised by its half-heart-shaped armrest, is an interesting proposal for a feminine style living room. Here, pure volumes and simple geometric shapes coexist for extreme comfort.

Intense colours such as teal blue, on the other hand, can be emphasised with bronze or copper metal details. The Klint Kastel sofa, for example, contrasts its intense colour with painted steel feet. A classy solution ideal for a feminine living area with a refined character.

Feminine design: shapes and lines that express femininity

Feminine design prefers roundness to sharp corners. It is therefore soft and sinuous lines, such as those of the Moroso Fjord armchair, which are able to express, perhaps more than others, a certain femininity, as they evoke sweetness and elegance.

This does not exclude, however, that even the most linear and essential design, such as that of the Hall Driade armchair, can characterise an environment furnished in a feminine style.

What counts, whether it is sinuous lines or more linear forms, is the grace that each piece of furniture must be able to convey. When we speak of lines and shapes we are not only referring to furnishings, but also to accessories, wall motifs and fabrics.

Furnishing accessories for the perfect feminine look

The feminine style prefers refined and elegant materials ideal for creating glamorous and trendy settings. Soft materials and fabrics, which are considered particularly feminine, are favoured.

Of course, in a feminine style home, there is generally no lack of glassware, metal objects, lamps and chandeliers, and carpets, but feminine design is not ostentatious but rather essential, simple in its particular refinement.

A must-have element in the feminine look home is the mirror. Placed at the entrance or in the bedroom it allows you to check your look before going out. In the living room, as well as giving you the possibility of mirroring yourself, it allows you to visually brighten up the space by reflecting natural and artificial light.  Whether it is characterised by sinuous shapes like the Stilla Potocco mirror or has more angular contours like the Mirror Lines MDF Italia mirror, this complement combines aesthetics and functionality, characteristics that feminine style cannot renounce.
