But what happens when it comes to decorating your home, especially the bedroom? The key is strike a balance by combining just the right amount of each style and incorporating elements you can both live while still retaining your individuality. Here are a few tips to get you started.

Mix Masculine + Feminine Patterns. Menswear fabric works well with many different patterns. Use floral patterns in an accent wall or window treatments, and add menswear accents through bed pillows and other furnishings so both of you are happy. Easy, right?

Shop Together.  Choosing colors and selecting furniture and accessories together avoids arguments down the road.  Shopping together will help to create a sanctuary you can both feel great about.
