There's something so romantic about a rustic space. Rustic can be the perfect combination of masculine and feminine without being too over the top. Mixing textures, colors and getting creative with accessories can result in a truly beautiful rustic & romantic yet feminine and fun space.
Whether you're using a reclaimed wood coffee table with a gorgeous feminine lamp on it or fabulous wood floors in an all white home — rustic is dramatic no matter the color palette. From bright pink to dark brown color is meant to be incorporated in rustic design, pops of color just enhance the beauty of a rustic room.
Mix textures and colors to elevate a rustic room to a romantic, feminine and fun level. Pair sleek subway tile with original wood beams and throw luxurious bedding on a vintage bed. The possibilities are endless and the results are breathtaking.

I really like the cofee table in the first picture (though not the things on it), and I like the console table in the 4th picture & the bit we can see of the PB Edison Chandelier (DIY version of it.)
Love rustic elements, especially chipped original paint on a piece of furniture, reclaimed wood, a little rust, or just about anything that looks like it came from someone's deserted barn... ;) Especially in a modern space, because it adds so much texture and interest and something a little beat up can contrast really nicely with a sleeker backdrop.
@livc I agree! Couldn't have typed it better myself!
LSD's house is my dream come true. I need that hippo bar in my life
love! see elements of my own space, but on a much grander scale... i'd feel very much at home in her apt.
Yes, you can make any space feel more feminine and romantic by adding an attractive model. Those beds in the last picture are awesome.
None of these strike me as decidedly feminine besides the first space...and I am sure the fact there is a woman in it has a lot to do with it. The rest just look asexual to me. Love the all white kitchen, though!
AT has guts reposting LSD's apartment for any purpose after the conversation went so far south about her Mao posters the other day!
Nothing says romantic, feminine, and fun like dead animal bones on the coffee table!
I was thinking the same thing Kateri_
