Courtney Jeffcott Designing for two

Designing for two.
   They say that in life we must give and take. So when designing for two the same rules apply. I have often come to find that a lot of my clients who are couples rarely make furniture buying a priority mainly due to the shear fustration that both parties experience when their personal taste conflict. So where is the happy medium? Women, more then men tend to have quite a voice when it come to what they like and dislike. Leading to what is often discribed as a "very feminine houshold". Just as we ladies do not want to live in a leather clad, lava lamp man cave; men do not want to sleep in a frilly pink comforter surrounded by floral wall paper and out grandmothers doilies. But we have come a long way in designing more tansitional furniture that both sexes can appreciate. Cleaner lines and simple patterns with a touch of sophistication and whimsy can be the "this is it" for both parties. Remember if you dont say what you want you'll never get it.
