Unite the Masculine and Feminine with Tuscan Décor: There’s Something for Everyone in the Classic, Exquisite Design of Mediterranean Decorating
Posted By Mary Freeland on November 14, 2009
A common complaint from husbands is that their wives’ decorating taste is too “girly” or “frilly.” Flowers, ruffles, and elaborate Victorian furniture can be off-putting to the men in your family. Of course, if most guys had their way, our living rooms would be full of hunting trophies and sports paraphernalia… The good news is that Tuscan design offers a great happy medium for differing decorating styles: with beautiful colors and exquisite botanical designs of spiraling leaves and vines that appeal to more feminine tastes and simple lines and time-worn looks that appeal to masculine tastes, Tuscan décor will make the whole family happy!
Leather Chests
The strong, uncomplicated lines of Tuscan furniture and simple, earthy materials offer a masculine architecture for your Mediterranean décor. Time-worn pieces of stone, wood, leather, and metal create the basic structure and outline for any Tuscan home. With their down-to-earth silhouettes, simple comfort, and straightforward appearance, these furnishings are about as guy-friendly as possible.

Building upon that foundation, the details and accents of this Italian-country style offer a softer, more feminine look. From the bright botanical patterns adoring hand-painted Tuscan earthenware to the sinuous curves and spirals of vine-inspired metal scrollwork and grilles, the finishing touches on just about every Tuscan design piece emphasize a subtle, graceful femininity. Using a color palette of earthy tones and finishes, these chocolate, blue, gold, olive, and terra cotta decorative accents are feminine without being girly.
Combining simple lines and graceful details, Tuscan décor creates a seamless union of the masculine and feminine without overdoing either—perfect for keeping the entire family comfortable, cozy, and happy.
