i love your living room as is !!!

It looks really nice! IMO, the silver pillows are the most masculine. The only super feminine item is the pink flowers, but they're a nice pop of color.

Is it the shape of the silver pillows or the color he does not like? I love your décor & would love to have the individual taste you seem to have, however I'm afraid of what your husband would think of my living room.

Your room is one that any decorator would be proud to have put together. I agree, there is nothing girly here. However, if you'd like to bring in the black color of the coffee table (not sure what else to call it), you could have a few pillows that have black in them. You'd have to try it to see whether it works for you. It seems that you've already considered that concept.

I actually prefer your choice in pillows & colors than the ones you added to your post. The photos are of the new trendy (not timeless), theme in most homes today.

Is your husband a particular fan of this Houzz website? Are you sure you aren't just imagining what he prefers so you can buy newer ones? That makes more sense than him not liking what you have now.

Boy, that certainly sounded rather judgmental, didn't it? Sorry, I had a husband who left most of the design choices to me & perhaps I'm jealous that mine did not take as much interest in them as I did. I am also jealous of your excellent taste in décor so that seems more likely.

I don't think the room is to girly. I think you might just have to many pillows for his taste. Maybe take away some of the pillows and see what he thinks.

your room is so great!!!!! what I wouldn't like is the perfection of the placement and arrangement. I like my pillows to be a little "off" and maybe something unexpected. Nothing is girly but I do agree maybe you need a darker element on the couch.

Overall, your space is really beautiful.

Great room. Pillows aren’t girly, but looks to me like you have too many of them to comfortably sit without moving them, especially on the love seat.

^Agree, there are too many pillows on the love seat and possibly too many on the sofa. I think you have a great room, but could use fewer pillows so the seating looks inviting rather than too crowded to sit comfortably.

Pillows are really particular. The best thing you can do is haul home a car load of options & test arrangements with a friend so you can check yourself. I think you just need a touch of bold pattern to liven this up. The rest is lovely :)

Room looks great. You have nice taste

Your room has class and a fine balance of masculinity, he should be thrilled to have such a beautiful room and wonderful wife who cares what he thinks.

Your room has 'class'! Lovely.

Your room is lovely. It may be the pillows. Too many....? Try just two tan square ones per sofa on both sofas the same. And gray lumbar pillows on chairs. Use others for bedrooms.

Your room is beautiful, I love the coffee table. Can you please share where you bought it from? The one that’s solid without the glass.

Beautiful room. I agree the love seat has too many pillows. One less on each side probably would look more balanced. Do the matching chairs need a pillow for comfort when sitting? If so, perhaps move a couple pillows there. If not, they'd probably be in the way.

Well done room, but your husband is correct. Try introducing some contrast to make him feel more comfortable. Your room is bold, make sure the pillows are as well.

Here are examples of rooms similar to yours that don't lean feminine or masculine.

I love your room

I agree with opinions that state there are too many pillows as of now. Nothing to do with "girlie" I think(we all articulate feelings in different ways, and not always precisely)-everything to do with shapely, distinctively contemporary sofas. The style lends itself to less pillows used(and I'm saying is as quite a big fan of pillows.)

You're right, I think, in trying to find pillows that have patterns that would marry some of your colors together. The possibilty of using an odd color-also mentioned before-something bold, like your orchid(I mean in mood, not neccessarily in color, even though I adore purples)-but can be almost anything-can be also exciting. I love different texture you have-is it cowhide? Different texture is one of the ways to go too.

For now, I'd just play with how many and which pillows to leave, and slowly look for the ones that you both will be excited about. Look for the comfiest possible-that always adds to the experience. Say I love ikat you've posted(and ikats in general)-but I'd make sure what the fabric is even if my favorite pattern, perfect colors, etc. (it does seem to be a good fabric, just an example) It's a room that spells luxury, that you've created. "An uptown" room. You need just several well-chosen pillows..take your time, and have fun-pillows are huge fun to choose.

After looking at some of the inspiration pictures above it occurs to me that a very large painting over that empty expanse of wall over the couch would be fabulous. The one in the third picture doesn't have much color, but what an impact it makes. If there is a way you can incorporate one or two stacks of books that would "humanize" the space, and give the feeling there are actually people occupying that beautiful space, I think it would something important.

I wouldn't do anything with the pillows, but I would add a very large piece of art over the couch on that blank wall.
