7 Ideas for Turning a Stylish Home into a Date Place

by Robert Burkley Writer

People who want their home to look and feel great and have guests enjoy their stay should learn how to decorate it. While some TV shows suggest that gay people have a more subtle sense of color and style, this is actually not the case and everyone can have a hard time decorating their home space. But don't worry. Follow these seven essential tips to help you create a stylish home and a great, warm atmosphere for a date!

1. Express Yourself in Your Home Design

Find your "thing", something that sets you apart and expresses you as a person. It could be something that reflects your hobbies, or something that reveals your background. Being single is not the only thing that defines you. If you are originally from Australia and enjoy surfing, then you can use your surfboard as decor, or decorate the wall with posters of your favorite Australian locations. If you are a fan of geeky things and can spend hours on the Internet on dating sites, then the abundance of modern gadgets will tell your guest about it.

If you are a lesbian couple who loves meeting new LGBT people and often invites them into the house, then make your home a reflection of yourselves. You can add whatever suits you, for example, photos from a pride parade you've been to. Then your new female friends will be able to make sure that your interests really coincide. Especially, if you met on a dating site and agreed on common preferences, then your prospective dating partner roughly understands what to expect from your home, because knows you by online chat. So don't be afraid to express yourself in the interior. Choose what is dear to your soul and what you want to tell your guests and make it a part of the interior.

2. Make Your Home Cozy for Guests

Another major stylish choice that you’ll want to embody in your home design is comfort. Homes are not just for style anymore; they’re utilitarian. Don’t be afraid to have a plush couch and set out some good books and other literature. It’s easy to find comics or YA books that will encourage your company to sit around and spend some time in your comfortable living room. Build a place where you’ll want to share a couple of cups of coffee with a friend or date.

3. Use Modern Colors

Creating a stylish home is an ongoing process rather than a one-time thing. That’s why you need to stay abreast of the latest fashions when it comes to creating your home’s style. One of the best ways to show your style sense is to utilize modern colors when creating your living space. These days, bold colors and some subdued ones are making the rounds, including gray, yellow, mushroom, beige. These are all colors that work great in modern homes. Get inspired by famous LGBT designers to find ideas you want to bring to life in your home. 

4. Mix and Mingle Your Textures

Another major style choice that people are making these days is to mix and mingle the textures in the room. For example, you could have a leather couch in your home, but it’s a good idea to add various throw pillows that provide some contrast in terms of color, texture, and more. You can even use pillows solely for the color! Don’t be afraid to add texture in other areas, too. For example, a stone fireplace can look great in a setting primarily made of wood.

5. Add Art to Your Living Area

Art shows sophistication, and you want to appear that way to all your guests, right? It’s always a good time for you to purchase some art and add it to your home. Statuettes, a bust, paintings, and sculptures are all great forms of art that you can utilize to demonstrate your appreciation of any artistic period. Decorating provides you with a chance to support artists or put a real think piece in your living room that will help keep the conversation between you and your guests lively! Many artists are active these days, and you could probably find more than a few operating in your local area. So, if you want to engage with your community and improve your living space, then it would be wise to take a day and shop for some art pieces to suit your home.

6. Outdoor Sitting Spaces Are Still Popular

You shouldn’t just focus on the interior of your home. The outside of your house provides a unique opportunity to create a special oasis where you can have fun by yourself or entertain guests. Building an outdoor sitting space depends quite heavily upon the amount of area you and the privacy you obtain. Adding some patio furniture, a table, and lights in your backyard can make all aspects of your home feel comfortable. This might require a little imagination on your part and some help with the heavy lifting, but when you’re enjoying a warm summer night with friends, it’ll be worth it.

7. Celebrate Your Pride

Last but not least, when you’re decorating your home, you should consider your personal conceptualization of your lesbian pride. Some women don’t want to do anything but talk about their sexuality, while others have been heavily invested in support groups in the past. You might want to remind yourself of the struggles that others have been through before you or the work that is yet to be done. A pride flag for the out and proud women will do wonders, while some representative artwork will provide others with a more subdued appreciation of lesbian culture. It’s up to you to decide how to celebrate or recognize your pride.

To Conclude

Making your house look warm, inviting, and stylish might seem like an impossible task for an ordinary person. Yet, if you keep in mind some modern fashion trends and that your home’s style should change over time, you will do well. Remember to focus on the big picture as well as the minutiae in your home, go from the broad swaths of room colors down to the textures on your couch. You don’t have to stay within the boundaries of modern style, though; things are always changing, and you could find yourself riding the wave into the generation of home fashion.
