Ways To Decorate A Coquette Aesthetic Room

These days, fashion trends come and go in the blink of an eye. One trend that has gained notoriety within the past year is the coquette aesthetic. According to Grazia, a coquette is a flirtatious young woman who enjoys all things feminine and romantic. While some criticize this aesthetic for fetishizing youth and sexuality, it arguably promotes a sense of self-love and positivity.

The coquette aesthetic focuses on feminine clothing such as pleated skirts, Mary Jane shoes, frilly white socks, lacework, and delicately colored tops. The trend also focuses on dewy, natural-looking makeup and dainty jewelry such as thin silver chains and pearl necklaces. Retro vibes and pastel colors are also features of this trend. The coquette aesthetic is rooted in fashion, but it can also inspire your home decor to stunning effect. You can embrace the coquette style by filling your living space with romantic decor. Creating a coquette room is uncomplicated and can be achieved by following these decorating tips and tricks.

When it comes to coquette fashion, floral prints are essential. Floral prints are everywhere, especially on tennis skirts or lace camisoles. Usually, small flower prints or rose prints are on casual dresses or room designs. With springtime in full effect, floral prints are budding all over. According to Furniture in Fashion, it's good to choose a wall paint color before creating any floral designs along the walls in a bedroom. Popular choices are bright reds, blues, or greens. Stencil stems or leaves into the floral wall designs to create a realistic floral look.

However, you don't have to change your wall color or wallpaper to add floral prints to your room. Toss decorative floral pillows onto a simple bedspread or craft a string of real or faux flowers to place on the bedpost. From tulips to peonies, the range of flowers to use is endless. A straightforward way to add floral motifs would be to hand-paint flowers on a canvas, wait for it to dry, get a frame, and hang the painting on a wall (via Digs Digs).

Who doesn't love displaying photographs of their loved ones in the home? As with most interior design styles, part of the coquette design is to feature framed photos on desks or bedroom walls. However, a unique aspect of coquette style is to use frames from antique or secondhand shops. These places often sell older furniture or historical photographs of people from the past. According to LoveToKnow, early American frames were handmade of wood with simple details etched onto the surface. Victorian frames feature wood covered with plaster material and intricate designs. Older pieces may appear warped and out of shape, so finding one in good condition at an antique store may be challenging. However, it's worth the search.

If you're looking for vintage photographs from a specific era, the internet is the best way to search (via Stock Photo Secrets). Be careful of using copyrighted material because not all photographs are in the public domain. If unsure, it's best to check with a webmaster to get permission to use photos.

Makeup in shades of pink and red is a big part of the coquette aesthetic. Adding a dash of pink blush to your cheeks or a coat of red lipstick will instantly make you coquette-ready. The style usually features simple eye looks with neutral-colored eyeshadow and dewy skin. If you want to create the perfect makeup station in your home, install a vanity. According to Foter, there are a few things to consider before buying a vanity. The location makes a difference. Most people prefer to put vanities inside their bedroom close to clothes and other accessories. You could also place a vanity in the bathroom if there is enough space. However, this placement may be problematic for people living in a large household and sharing a bathroom.

A unique vanity feature is the lightbulbs that adorn the outer surface. These are usually LED lights but come in many styles and materials. There are vanities without installed lights that have mirrors. Some vanities come with adjustable mirrors, while others do not. Before purchasing a vanity, ensure it's durable, long-lasting, and easy to clean for continuous use down the line.

Since the coquette aesthetic borrows from earlier decades, including the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, vintage furniture is a staple when decorating a coquette-themed bedroom. Vintage furniture is typically wood with elaborate etchings and designs on the surface. You can combine antique pieces from the Victorian era with modern furniture to create a unique bedroom style. Finding a vintage-style bed is the beginning of an old spin on a fresh aesthetic.

According to Antique Marks, you should not make a big purchase unless you know where to place it in your home. Don't buy Victorian decor or vintage pieces just because they look old. In the long run, quality matters more than appearance. Something rare yet beautiful will be more meaningful than buying something for its age. Make sure the furniture is in good condition with minor damage before buying. It's always worth it to ask for a discount, whether you are shopping at a store or buying at an auction.

Have a favorite stuffed teddy bear or rabbit lying around? Stuffed animals are an essential element of the coquette aesthetic, and these cute soft toys provide comfort and serenity in our fast-paced world. Children and adults may hold on to them for sentimental value. If you want to store your stuffed animals properly in your home, there are tips to keep in mind. According to Capital City Bins, stuffed animals can be vacuum-packed in plastic bags to cut down on space. These toys can also be placed in plastic tubs and stowed away in closets.

A simple way to decorate with stuffed animals within a bedroom is to place them around your bedding and pillows (via Off the Record Mom). Find white vintage or retro-designed storage cubby holes to house your stuffed animals for a coquette vibe. Wicker baskets in pale shades of pink or purple are an attractive place to store your stuffed animals.

Coquette fashion often incorporates cherry and strawberry prints for an effortless and fun style. You can also include fruit prints in your interior design for a sweet twist. According to Designbx, there are tons of fruit-inspired furnishings and accessories for your bedroom. For example, you can buy bed sheets or pillowcases with cherry or strawberry prints. There's also fruit-themed wall art, wallpaper, and furnishings like chairs and couches. Look for decorations with bright colors and soft fabrics.

As far as other bedroom designs go, you can buy plastic or plaster fruit from craft and hobby stores and use it to decorate vintage trays for a retro motif. A cute way to add feminine touches is to find fake strawberry tarts and place them with plastic grapes on a tray to mimic a teatime setting. This unique idea will make your space satisfy any sweet tooth.

Coquettes love romance and anything involving love. Therefore, red heart-shaped sunglasses, pink lipstick prints, pearl necklaces, and hearts complete the coquette look. Why not design a bedroom based on love by embracing romantic decor? According to Home Edit, you can put flowers on a desk to liven up the workspace. Sweet-smelling roses freshen up any environment. Another way to incorporate romantic elements is to hang chic fashion photographs with golden frames on bedroom walls.

Do you like ruffled designs? Add ruffled accent pillows or blankets with pom-poms onto a bed. Use red and pink paints to stencil heart and floral creations to create a sweet headboard. Furniture with soft curves instead of straight lines can look more delicate and feminine (via Matter Brothers Furniture & Mattress). Another good rule of thumb is to steer away from stripes or plaids and look for fashions with polka dots and florals.
