... is confidence! Seriously. Creating a successful aesthetic comes down to one thing, and that's feeling confident in your own decision. This is your point of view. How you bring it together is what makes you a designer. You’re selling whatever you’re putting into the space. Own it. Break the rules (yes, even the ones listed in this lesson). Remember that design is fluid and will always change. Work with it, be open to interacting with the space, and change it constantly. It’s okay to make mistakes.

Here’s where it gets fun! This rule is completely up to your interpretation as there are no laws of what is masculine or feminine, and objects and textures can float between the two.
When looking at fabrics, the movement would be considered feminine, while something structured would be masculine. Items, objects, and furniture can be masculine, feminine, or both. It’s all about finding a balance in your space.

In addition to creating a balance between masculine and feminine, you’ll also want to create a balance between geometric shapes (this could be through patterns, furniture, etc.). When you think about the space you’re designing, are the objects that occupy that space leaning towards any one shape? Is everything square? Rectangular or circular/oval? If so, you have to create a balance. (Sorry for sounding like a broken record!!)
Everything in your design should have a partner. If the coffee table is round, what else in this space will be round to complement it? Having things paired creates balance and allows the user of that space to feel as if it’s intentional. Think about your own space and how you’d like it to feel!

What that grand moment is can be different for every person. For instance, it can add something unique, rare, with history or a story to it and/or an extremely powerful silhouette. We recommend having 2-3 of those moments within a space to really capture the person in the space.
Remember: it doesn’t need to be expensive to be a moment, but it does have to be interesting!
