"
The only thing more beautiful than the woman that knows what she wants, is the
woman who isn't waiting on anybody else to get it for her."
A lot of men have their stylish, cozy ‘man caves’, but why can’t women
have their own personal room to get away and relax in?
A "man cave" = a
male retreat or sanctuary in a home, such as a specially equipped garage, spare
bedroom or basement.The term "man cave" is a metaphor describing a
room inside the house where "guys can do as they please" like a caveman without fear
of upsetting any female sensibility about house decor or design.
So, of couse women can create their own "cave" free from males and kids, where they can go to get some peace, relax and pursue their interests. In cooperation with Carish, an exclusive curator- approved online marketplace for vintage furniture, I created a styleboard surrounding my ideal woman cave.
1. Furniture
For relaxing, the most important thing: a comfortable sofa and
chairs. I chose a grey retro-style sofa from mömax with wooden details. I
really like the shape and the details on it. The size is perfect as well.
Secondly, I found a beautiful vintage chair on Chairish.com ( www.chairish.com) with a unique and
colorful pattern on it. I think it's cool to have a statement piece in your
room that has a bit of a different style than the other ones. The website makes
it really fun and easy for design lovers to buy and sell vintage furniture and
decor. One can definitely find something unique.
I couldn't leave out a desk in my woman cave, cause work never
stops. No matter if you are studying, writing, creating, randomly browsing - it
is more fun and productive when you feel comfortable with your work space.
There are endless possibilities for decorating and DIY's out there!!
2. Decoration
When it comes to decoration, there are no limits. Vases, pictures,
candles, plants, rugs, pillows. In my room I'd like to have some color
accents, like yellow and turquoise. I found the yellow rug with atztec pattern
on H&M Home (they have such a cool interior range!!!). Due to my pillow
addiction, I chose only two this time, but let's be honest - I'd probably buy
more of them ;) Also very important: a cozy blanket on the sofa.
The two paintings are also from Chairish.com, and I have to
say it wasn't easy to choose only two. The selection of paintings, drawings,
posters, prints and sculptures is endless. On my desk, I'd like to have a
candle or a home scent, my JBL speaker (because music is essential!!), a lamp
and some storage options.
The possibilities and ideas when creating a "cave" for
yourself should be endless and you should definitely take your time and choose
wisely so you are 100% comfortable with everything! :)
