I've been thinking of redoing my room but I'm having a hard time finding a bedroom set I truly love. I saw this in the store and liked it, but have yet to buy it because when looking at the pics I took I'm starting to think it might look too masculine for a 21 year old female? Maybe if I dress it up with a prissy comforter and flowers on the wall it would work? My walls are green and I don't plan on getting the gray comforter. Basically I just wanted some other opinions on the set, if it's too masculine or not. Pictures of it...
I like it. Go with a look that appeals to you instead of relying on some gender stereotype of what you're 'supposed to' like. You're the one that looks at and uses that furniture every day, and your likes should come first and foremost.
Your bedroom is your sanctuary and you should have the furniture that you like. However, since you are questioning how it looks, I would continue to look around. You will never get rid of that feeling. Yes, you can dress it up, but is that really what you want to do in order to be more comfortable with the look? Your taste will change in the next few years, so maybe you should look for something that will stand the test of time. I see the price on desk is about $700. If this is your price range, make the rounds of high-end furniture stores since so many are having great sales. If, after you have done so and you still like this furniture, go for it.
I think the set could work for either sex. Maybe the problem you are having in finding a bedroom "set" is that it boxes you in to a commitment for the room that you aren't in love with as a whole. What I would do is find one piece from a bedroom set that I really liked. For example, with this set, my favorite piece would be the dresser and that is all I would buy from the set. Then I would simply buy a metal bedframe with roller feet for $35 that would be hidden under a great, comfortable mattress. Either that or build a simple wood floor frame to hold the mattress. Top the mattress with bedding that really speaks to you. I think some of the best rooms come from pieces added over time. Furniture doesn't have to match, and a blend of pieces you really like makes a more personal statement of who you are. Based on this set, it looks like you may want storage for books and a desk. Go for it, just don't limit yourself to making it part of a "set." That's how I would approach it.
I don't think its too masculine. I like the storage in the headboard and the color of the wood, but if you're not sure then keep looking. What are the features that you are looking for? Do you need something with a lot of storage, do you like modern clean lines? Think about what it is about the set that you do like and what it is that might be throwing you off. You'll figure it out.
just noticed the desk-it's made for a left hander-note the lamp is on the right. Being a lefty and having put up with rt hander desks for ages upon ages, if you're not left handed, tell them you want the same style but for a rt handed person. (if you decide to buy it)
The thing I don't like about it is that it's too matchy-matchy. I would maybe geta different chest of drawers or at the very least, get a different mirror, maybe a round one. I just don't like mirrors attached to dressers.
I love going to Ikea and seeing how they mix furniture in rooms, but I know it's a matter of personal taste.
