I have noticed that men seem to appreciate when a woman shows that she is feminine. I'm not talking about high school level unicorns and bunnies and pink everything, but flowers and flower motifs are alright. I'd be looking to send the message that a woman lives there, but tread carefully so that you're not old-lady-ish, not too little-girl-ish, not excessively sexual (like no red/black color scheme unless you're trying to project "Dominatrix") and above all, clean.
Beyond that, what kind of man are you into? If you prefer the intellectual type, maybe some well curated literature in a small bookcase would be appropriate. If you like the outdoorsy, salt of the earth kind of guy, then a few pieces of art depicting pastoral landscapes or woodlands or something like that. I would also display some things that say, "I have character, here is a thing about me" that provide conversation starters and clues to who you are, if you can.
Of course some of us just decorate as we please and if a man likes us, then he'll probably appreciate our style. I'm an odd decorator, but I'm an odd person. Anyone who prizes normalcy hasn't much business in my home, let alone my bedroom.
No the OP is a woman. She doesn't want men who make it into her bedroom to run out screaming.
Exactly. I think I was misguided on this for a while. I never did anything flowery (not to my taste anyway) but I spent a long time with red satin bedding from Victoria's Secret (which I actually did like). I also had a leopard print comforter with black sheets for longer than I care to admit.
Now I am envisioning a parade of men circulating in and out of the OP's bedroom.
To me, this sounds more like someone who hopes that one particular man will be pleased enough to stick around. A woman who can easily enough have a parade of them won't especially care what they think of how she decorates. Sounds like she's concerned about someone's opinion.
Gotta say, I was fairly pleased that the man I chose to be serious with, has decorating habits that work with my own. We're both collectors with lots of nerdy interests. We both love art. Hence my sentiment that it's largely a matter of reflecting some compatibility. We're both content to live in a place decorated with dragons and swords and such.
