I think it should be a joint decision based on compromise.

If he is willing to state his opinion on what he likes or dislikes, then please listen to it. If it is going to be a home for both of you, then both of you should make those decisions. However, if he is unwilling to state an opinion, then it will be up to you to choose what you like.

Um HOW MANY people’s home is it…just yours? Isn’t it the husband’s too?

We live in a detached condo/cottage style home.

My hubby & I compromised….the kitchen is totally mine, we agreed on the living room, bathroom & bedroom….the second bedroom will be totally mine when vacated as we are turning it into a guest room, ditto as far as the guest bathroom. And since I’m the one caring for it, the front porch & huge back deck are mine…..he’s not an outside person while I love to garden and eat al fresco….he does love what I’ve done with both spaces……

We agreed on colors neither could live with ( pink & purple-him, and orange-me) We both love earthy brown tones, sage greens and gray-blues, and splashes of red. White woodwork/trim and black accents. And even tho I had free reign with the kitchen and both outside spaces, I asked for his input…and seriously considered it. We agreed on and bought major items together (except for the antique pieces I already owned-he loves them as much as I do)

End result-we are BOTH happy with our mutual living space.

So sorry, I agree with your guy.

Honestly, the women’s opinion! I think you should openly take suggestions from your hubby, but in the end, I feel women know best about these things. Unless, your hubby has a real flair for home decor, then the women should be the one organizing most of it. Although, don’t go making your house ultra-girlie, that’s not fair to your husband.

Growing up, my mom made all the home decor decisions and my dad’s domain was the lawn/landscaping. So, maybe you can compromise and he has this "space" to make the final decisions. I know a lot of men also have their "man rooms", places like the garage, a den or a basement. I know many wives allow their husbands to decorate that space more to their liking.

ideally, it should be a joint decision, but you should go with whoever has the best taste/eye for decorating.
What I did with my fiance was let him decorate one room that was all for himself (the office/workout room) and i got to do the rest…he was fine with that b/c he understood that he couldn’t do as good of a job.
Maybe let him decorate one room (a spare room/2nd bathroom/basement) and see what he says
good luck!
