So generally, it is safe to assume that men and women tend to have different preferences in patterns. Geometric and angular patterns are thought to be more masculine while feminine patterns are usually softer and often more complex than the masculine counterpart. So what should you do now?
Favor one or the other….
Here’s a good example, since leather upholstery is mostly considered as a masculine choice, lend towards gauzy fabric for your curtains to balance out the room.
If choosing a heavy upholstery for your curtains, maybe a linen texture sofa will help bring in a softer texture. When it comes to heavy fabrics, they are considered more masculine and lighter weight fabrics are considered more feminine.
Always remember the choice of fabric tends to make a room look a little more feminine and also a little more masculine. So when making a choice, go for textiles that go with the general style of the house and also go well with the color scheme, to make sure they suit everyone just fine.
