Setting The Stage For A Dark Feminine Bedroom
A true dark feminine bedroom is the foundation for luxury, comfort and relaxation. This aesthetic is all about elegance and style – clutter can create visual noise and a sense of unpleasantness if not cleared.
Actionable tip: Get rid of anything that doesn’t align with your vision. You need to make space for incorporating a range of elements that exude mystique and anything mundane that adds clutter is not good enough!
Embracing The Darkness: Choosing a Colour Palette
VeryWellMind references colour preferences to the identity one reflects, and some that would complement a dark feminine bedroom would be:
Black: A powerful colour that exudes mystery, sexiness and power
Red: Bold and eye-catching, red exudes a sense of romance and confidence
Blue: Conveys different meanings based on shades, from stability to trustworthiness and moodiness
Grey: Great fillers colours for when you want something that blends and complements other colours.
Balancing with lighter accents: It is advisable to balance stark, contrasting and bold colours with lighter accents to add a sense of stillness and calmness that is easy on the eye and doesn’t compromise on comfort.
Luxurious Textures To Add Depth & Personality
“Texture is the key to creating a multi-sensory experience in interior design. It not only influences how a space looks but also how it feels and sounds.”
Thom Filicia
Another great tip for putting together a dark feminine aesthetic is to add richness through textures. You can opt for bedsheets, pillows, wallpapers and rugs that add a lot of depth and personality by simply opting for variety in textures.
Luxurious materials like velvet, silk, and satin are great options for adding textual variety and personality to your room.

Actionable Tip: Focus on bringing about a mix of different textures with a range of fabric and finishes. This is a great way to balance the elements in your room. Think of the purpose and function, if it’s a bed or couch, what materials will you use to ensure the room remains comfortable?
Satin curtains like this solid coloured blackout curtain is a wonderful and practical choice for a dark feminine bedroom.
A true dark feminine bedroom may also be put together with textured wallpapers that add a sense of balance and variety to a room, making it far more interesting.

Essential accessories for a true dark feminine vibe are as follows:
Mirrors: An excellent choice for creating an illusion of spaciousness, mirrors can help add a sense of mystery and reflect the sunshine when placed strategically. Further, the ones with interesting shapes and frames can allude to femininity.
Lighting options: With a wide variety of lighting choices available, the question you need to ask yourself is, “what moods would this lighting exemplify?”

Comfort Meets Style: Furniture
Popular Instagram account owner Antonella (@dollclub), posts gorgeous girly imagery that serve as inspiration and a glimpse into her life as a woman with depth.

There are memories associated with these pieces, memories of strong women in my family who lived their lives before me — stylishly at that. I’m creating my own memories with these pieces, adding my own spin to these items. These pieces make me reminisce about the past but excited for the future.”
