Stylizing Young Couple Homes : How a Dynamic Duo Can Create an Explosive Interior Design

Friday, October 20th, 2017

This bedroom balances light and slightly darker colors. It also offers luxury to each partner. Notice the two frames, two drawers, two lamps, two bedside tables, and so on. Featured here is the Brookston King Upholstered Bed from Camden-Brookhaven.

How would you respond to the interior design needs of a young couple? Or if you’re the other half of this new union, what would you do to collaborate with your other half?

There are many things to consider when setting up the home of a young couple. First, both must consider the situation that they are now in (they are no longer single) and what their expectations are. Also, there is a need to set up a dwelling that is comfortable (not just beautiful or stylish) and also financially sustainable.

Designing for Two  

Couples who are collaborating to design their homes must ensure that their wants and needs are both met. The guy cannot just keep giving in to the whims of his new wife, and vice versa. There are, after all, two people who will live inside that place.

What if the country girl married a city guy, what then? How would they jive in terms of interior design and decorating?

Though love is definitely in the air, designing your first home could become a tricky project to finish.

It is crucial to design according to your sense of style. Be clear on what you both want. Many people are adamant in what they like or even what they dislike and could end up standing their ground when asked to back down.

A couple must pay attention to what both are drawn to. Take a careful look at your wardrobe. The items there could give you a hint on the colors, textures, and patterns that you want. If you have common style preferences, then bank on those.

Respect Differences

Even siblings who grew up in the same household have different characteristics so it is an impossibility to require couples to be completely alike.

Each partner could have a different style. The best homes are those that are able to combine two styles and are able to harmonize them. Features can seamlessly create a cohesive look if the different furniture and accessories have an anchor or base color, texture or pattern.

Find these common elements even in the most random pieces. Do not be afraid to experiment with the looks that you create. Unconventional is okay for as long as the mixture of styles magically transform the spaces in your home.

To achieve these, you need a good eye and a collaborative nature.

Compromise or Not

Early on, even before you begin the design project, talk to your partner and talk about the things that you can compromise and those that you cannot. That grandfather clock that you inherited from your great-grandparents, is it welcome in your new home? Will this blend well with that quirky artwork that your spouse loves?

Compromise. If you can’t, talk gently about it. There’s nothing that love cannot conquer, right?

Function Counts

You need to focus on function. There will be two people sleeping in the bedroom so what sort of bed is comfortable for both? There are people who are okay to watch TV in the bedroom and there are those who cannot sleep with noise or light emanating from this appliance. Others even consider the bedroom to be a place for meditation.

Know which one you married.

Tell a Story

As a young couple, you are building a new life story, this one that you now share. You have to define who you are as a couple with the furnishings that you invest in. Don’t be afraid, again, to put in the pieces that define who you are.

Be unique. Experiment.

A personalized space will even help you get to know your spouse a little bit more.
