Lashings of pink and carriage-style bed frames are feminine bedroom must-haves, but contemporary design calls for a more elegant affair.
While pink is a ‘feminine’ colour, nowadays it’s more of an accent colour, with moody blue features and oatmeal walls making it a secondary choice.
Clean lines and minimalist furniture can coexist beautifully with your feminine bedroom. Details like a sleek bed frame with luxurious linens rose gold or brushed brass décor, and ambient lighting can bring your space to life.
Of course, there are feminine touches that never go out of style, like round, organic shapes, floral patterns, and satin textures for a lighter feel.
The loveliest feminine bedrooms scatter light in interesting ways, creating features that come alive at night for a relaxing ambience.
Join us below for ideas on how to make your bedroom look feminine.
A fresh take on pink
Create depth with moody blue or grey features against oatmeal walls. Use pink sparingly as an accent colour in throw pillows, artwork, or a statement chair.
This colour combination offers a sophisticated, feminine touch without overwhelming your space and turning it into a princess’s lair.
Sleigh beds for the win
Sleigh beds are the perfect blend of elegance and comfort, ideal for a feminine bedroom thanks to their curved ends.
If you need storage, some sleigh beds have an ottoman base, which uses the whole mattress underside as storage space.
Those graceful curves create a focal point without overpowering your bedroom. Pair your sleigh bed with crisp, high-quality linens in neutral tones or subtle patterns.

Metallic magic
Add metallic accents through rose gold or brushed brass décor. Think mirror frames, lamp bases, or decorative objects.
These warm metallics add a soft glow and contemporary flair to your feminine bedroom. They reflect light, bringing different areas to life.
Ambient allure

Don’t settle for a ceiling light and corner lamp – use dimmable overhead fixtures, bedside lamps with soft shades, and a string of fairy lights.
Fairy lights are the best for feminine bedrooms because they can be fed through hooks on walls and ceilings for a dazzling light show.
Floral finesse
Embrace abstract floral prints that suggest flowers through colour and form rather than literal representations. Your bedding and walls are perfect for floral prints, or you can add elements with artwork and photos.
For a more minimalist take on florals, you could consider simple line drawings of flowers and leaves – these are lighter and less obvious.
Vintage vanity
French-style dressing tables like the Willis Gambier Ivory and Willis Gambier Etienne are fantastic focal points for your feminine bedroom. Add a standalone mirror, and you will have a stylish and timeless place to do your make-up.

You can also pick up vintage furniture bargains at charity and preloved furniture ships – just don’t expect the condition to be like new!
Voile curtains
Ditch your heavy curtains for lightweight voile (net curtains) instead to give your window area a lighter feel. White or light grey curtains are perfect for letting in maximum light while still providing plenty of privacy.
You can then add a roller blackout blind for privacy at night – get them made to measure so that no light bleeds around the edges.
Girly collectables
Your bedroom is a very personal space, so there’s absolutely no shame in having a shelf dedicated to things you love.
Whether that’s Sylvanian Families, Barbie, Furby, TY teddies, or dolls of any ilk, get them on display and take pride in having a quirk.
Houseplants
A houseplant like a money tree, golden snake plant, Parlor palm, or prayer plant will give your feminine bedroom a natural touch.
The ZZ plant is particularly resilient to neglect, but nowadays, self-watering pots are available to ensure an adequate water supply.
