Lesbian Interior Design

Can we discuss the styles of interior design favoured by our sapphic systers? I want to hear voices on the styles favored by lesbians such as Mountain, Southwestern, Hippie, New England Thrift, and Straight Dude.

Unfinished projects. Always. House completely torn up because torn up with half done projects.

Something evoking the interior of a five year old Subaru Forester...that hasn't been cleaned since it left the dealer's lot.

I feel like I missed the opportunity to make the Vivian Vance option Mary Wickes on this occasion.

Southwestern designed purple and orange wooden furniture with cats howling at moons. Mason jars with fermented juices in them. Lawn ornaments cut out of metal that also are purple and look like cats/moons riding on bicycles. A lot of lesbians frequent craft shows and bluegrass festivals, so they have a lot of weird ornaments in their yards and homes.

Dreamcatchers

Yes. Do lesbians have a lot of dreams that need catching?

A brown corduroy couch from 1974 that smells like wet dog.

Lesbians are obsessed with the '70s, when they were at their most powerful.

I knew a lesbian couple and the butch one liked to smoke her pipe after dinner. So you'll need an ashtray and pipe holder.

R1 wins the thread. A lesbian acquaintance and her wife have a garage filled with half finished furniture makeover projects.

One of the lesbian couples I know has references to fish everywhere. Isn’t that internalized lesbophobia or something? Their Holiday cards say “fish productions” on the back with a little cartoon of a fish. And it’s not the Christian one.

Ewwww!!! Fish!!!! I hear that's what they smell like down there!! Ewwww!!!

Power lesbians - super minimalist —lots of metal, sparse, high-end “waiting room” type furniture—expensive framed abstract photographs and paintings strategically placed. Everything in it’s place at all times. Neutral colors—mostly black. No pets.

Lesbian Living Room:

Green plants, lots of plants, macrame, a large white bookshelf filled with books of lesbian poetry, a well worn copy of “Lesbian Nuns, Breaking the Silence”, and sundry feminist books. Field hockey trophies from High School, used as bookends. Framed Georgia O’Keeffe art posters adorn the walls, along with a framed autographed photos of Billie Jean King and Gloria Steinem and Anne Murray.

There will be a small, comfy brown sofa, covered with a crocheted afghan. The coffee table will be oval, cream colored, French Provincial, which was inherited by a great aunt who served in the World War II as a Marine Corps Reservist. A wicker end table with a glass top, is next to the sofa. A ginger jar lamp, from the 1970s, sits atop, with framed photos of women friends.

There is a large floral rug, somewhat faded, on the floor. The windows are covered with bamboo shutters. A moss green, French Provincial desk (inherited from the same aunt), is placed at the side wall. There is a matching chair.

Plants are everywhere. The cat is optional. (It must be female, however.)

You do know there are femme lesbians out there who know how to decorate or like to hire those that can.

All the interior pieces must fit in the U-Haul that is frequently parked in the driveway.

Is ring-staining tables a style?

by Anonymousreply 26December 13, 2019 12:24 PM

I like the filthy coffee table passed down from one of their grandparents from the 80s, with cup rings and magazines like Psychology Today and Crafts strewn about with 5 empty PBR cans & a catch-all New Mexico pottery bowl containing: a lighter, chapstick, hand lotion, half a pack of Camels, a few ponytail holders and a pretty much empty bag of shitty weed.

We can bash men all day here and gay men tear each other to shreds but say one little joke about women and the sky is falling.

All my baby lesbians are running about might&day with narcan working on the opiate crisis so I’m guessing latex bed in a box and bags of rice for pillows. Moving blankets and lots of luggage on rollers.

Old Pueblo style heavy furniture, some new from Mexico. So many cat towers and scratching posts, they take the role of art or sculpture. Brown or black leather 'bachelor' sofas. Cheap IKEA odds and ends fill in as needed. Excercise equipment in home office, den, living room, dining room, or guest room. A plethora of yoga mats never put away... the dogs love to lie on them, and the cats nibble off bits, which seem to be strewn everywhere. And yes to the plants, many of which are in some state of death or decay, chronichally dropping diseased leaves everywhere. Sporting goods popping out of every closet and cabinet. Outdoor or patio furniture, especially wicker, comfortably at home with all the leather. Papasan chairs, and other Pier One favourites from twenty or thirty years ago. Way too many rainbow flags. Tons of vegan and vegetarian cookbooks, as well as an old dog-eared copy of [italic] Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality [/italic].

House that still hasn't been cleaned since this thread was started.

Urban lesbians like mid-century modern and you can find them prowling about Design Within Reach on the weekend.

I second R36. I've been in a number of fabulously chic, mid century modern, lesbian homes in Palm Springs.
