Our place has brick walls, so that means that the few feminine touches tend to even out the gender vibe. Overall, I wouldn't say our place isn't too gendered. The best rooms in the house are a bit girly though, which I don't mind at all. My only request is: no pink in the main rooms (the kids' rooms can be whatever).
What's the decor vibe of your home: manly, girly or gender neutral?

Probably a mix of both- leaning towards gender neutral.
My husband actually likes decorating so a lot of the furniture was his choice or came from his very stylish bachelor pad. We've made all of our decorating choices together so I think it's a nice balance!

Ours leans a little more to the masculine side. I am trying to add some more feminine touches (funny, since almost all of our furniture/decor came from my stuff when we combined it)

very neutral. We don't have a lot of decor right now but even once I hang things on the wall and buy a bookshelf it will stay very neutral.
I asked DH if we could get a pink shower curtain and he was fine with it. So our bathroom is pink and grey but it's very soft and the grey is very bold.
Our room is more neutral - brown furniture and a yellow, green, blue and cream bedspread. You probably wouldn't see it at a bachelor's house but it's not necessarily "feminine" either.

Our's is pretty gender neutral I think. Our bedroom sets are black headboards with black frames and white or black dressers. The sheets area also of darker shades.

I think I try to make it neutral but others have told me it's pretty feminine and glad. I use a lot of greys and metallics. DH doesn't mind anything I pick because I still try to keep it clean and not too frilly.

Ours is very neutral at the moment. I have some plans that will add a little bit more femininity but not overly so.

Neutral with feminine touches here and there. Our home is mainly gray, white, cream and brown. But I add little touches of color by adding flowers and vases and pillows and art work (that tend to look a little more girly).

I think it's probably more manly than neutral, and not at all girly. Exposed brick, dark hard wood floors, black leather furniture, black bed frame/coffee table/end tables/bookshelves, etc. As for as decor goes lots of browns, tans and deep reds and purples. My preference as much as DH's.
ETA: Except for the nursery...we were team green so it's pretty gender neutral...lots of grey and teal with some hints of very warm, almost orange, yellows.

i think its neutral.. our bedroom is more feminine. but that's what happens when DH tells me and my bestfriend we can go out shopping for the decor without him!

i prefer to think of it as cheerful/happy, but i will admit it's on the feminine side. i'm not a fan at all of deep colors, leathers, and dark woods, which are usually associated with masculinity. the bathroom and kitchen are bright, but neutral. the living room definitely falls on the more feminine side, but it's so comfy that hubs doesn't mind it (plus, he really has no opinions about how the house is decorated).

Gender neutral. My style is minimalist Scandinavian. I like white walls, wood floors, wood beams, exposed brick, and simple furnishings with small pops of color here and there, typically in green - plants.

Neutral overall. DH has a masculine style and I'm on the feminine side, which our offices reflect. When you combine our styles together it creates this very warm, cozy, traditional style.

@keiki_mama: amen to that. I'm staring at a board book on the chair in front of me, there is a moby wrap on the table in the background is a swing, foam floor tiles and baby junk everywhere!!! (I need to clean up)
But overall, our house is pretty neutral.

Neutral. I like to call our style "modern country"

Neutral, leaning towards manly. We live in a funky old 1970s cottage, so we have lots of vintage furniture, which tends to be more masculine looking. Some of the art is more feminine, though!

neutral, kinda modern - black and white with pops of red

We're neutral to manly. Not really into feminine touches. I think the closest we get is in the girls' room. I don't have a vision for the new place yet!

Pretty neutral- we love modern, but our place is "rustic" style so it's somewhere in between.
