How to arrange an interior in the Coquette style? What exactly is this style? We present 5 things that are necessary when creating such an interior.
Coquette — a style in fashion and design, characterized by delicacy, subtlety and femininity. The word „coquette” in French means flirt. The coquette style often uses delicate fabrics, airy forms and pastel or muted colors. The trend has gained popularity on TikTok. Currently, #coquette videos have more than 8 billion views.
Pastel colors
Coquette style is distinguished by subtlety, so soft colors will work perfectly. Of course, there needs to be feminine pink. Complement it with white, blue or mint. To make the arrangement not too monotonous, introduce darker, but subdued shades such as gray or brown.

Feminine and airy
Remember that the key to the Coquette style is attention to detail, subtlety and harmony in the composition. Avoid over-crowding your space. Instead, focus on light, feminine accents that will emphasize the romantic nature of this style. Introduce flowers and plants into the interior. A vase with a beautiful bouquet or ornate pots will be a great addition. Also dishes and accessories made of porcelain or glass with elegant shapes will add charm to the interior.

Go for warm and soft lighting. Pendant lamps in delicate shapes or lampshades made of light fabrics are perfect for the Coquette style. You can easily create a fairy-tale atmosphere by using diverse fixtures.
