What should i do about me and my boyfriend having such different tastes in decor for our home?
:/
Its obvious who decorates what room. It really bothers me that our styles are completely different and it doesn't look good together in the same room. The living room walls are red with black and tan leather furniture, dragons, swords, black panthers, scarface, goodfellas, mafia, knives.. its like a dungeon. My rooms which are the bathrooms and the kitchen and dinning room are all flowers and spring like with teapots, bunnies, flowers, angels... etc. I have no clue how to mix our styles without our who house looking like 2 completely different people live here. I have some stuff that would look great in the living room, but i have to find a way to put it in the dinning room or kitchen. I am not selfish in any way. I know he needs his stuff to display, but i just wanted to know if other couples are the same way and what you do about it. Thanks 
It sounds like two completely different people DO live there, Jennifer! When I was married, my husband never worried at all about the style, he trusted me completely. I was lucky like that.
Your styles are definitely different, but I think yours will last longer - who would want a black dungeon for a living room when they are 40 or 50? Very few, I think. If you feel very uncomfortable with his style, could it be possible to let him have his own room, a "den", where he could have all that stuff? If so, you should perhaps tone down your own style a little in the living room, like painting the walls sand beige instead of pink, and go easy on the angels and bunnies - men tend to get uneasy around bunnies, I've noticed. But what about a picture of a great, beautiful black stallion? Or an eagle? You'll both have to adjust, and the trick is to find decoration themes that you can both live with, which will not be easy.
Easing the style in the bedroom might for instance include a cool pastel color theme of blues/greens/turqoise, white fabrics, and a decoration of colorful tropical fish on one wall. Cool, calming, elegant and romantic, but not overwhelmingly girlie. The bedroom is a place to relax and feel good, not smothered.
In the kitchen you'll have free hands, because this is traditionally a woman's room. Old-fashioned roses are lovely in a kitchen, and go well with old-fashioned pictures of kitchen herbs. Wall colors that let the roses stand out are light grays and ivory/cream, they go with any color roses. Also natural woods like pine, oak and beech.
These are just a few thoughts I have on the subject, and I hope you can get some inspiration from them. I did that bedroom myself, so I know it can be very nice, but those fishes took some time, since I hand painted them on the wall! Next time it will be water lilies or something, with fewer details, lol.
Best of luck to you!
