Styling a masculine bedroom will no doubt cast a picture in your mind of dark and moody (you are not alone if this is the first thing you visualise).
But what if your preference is ‘genderless’ then you may likely think warm whites and neutrals. You see there is a chemistry between balancing a gender-neutral interior without sacrificing a ‘manly’ vibe and this can be easily achieved with a modern alchemy approach.
Here is an example, consider blending contrasting materials and colours to create a harmonious effect. Introducing moody tones, metallics and organic furniture will successfully reflect your personality and infuse that male influence into your space.
Now, unless you prefer a more lively feel, then you may want to incorporate some colour via either a floor rug, bedhead, artwork or cushions. It doesn’t have to be all about 'leather elements and dark wood'. Although some black accents can be key if combining them with neutrals or mustards for a modern and sophisticated room. Personally, a coloured rug will always add interest to start off a a colour theme.
Patterns can also play a pretty clever role so a striped rug is an even better choice.
The use of unexpected elements like metal or glass pendant lighting (preferably hanging overhead) can be the hero piece you are looking for and screams masculinity all the way! In addition, consider a thick textured wool rug underfoot for comfort.
For your decor incorporate abstract modern art and earthy soft furnishings. I like to include male eco friendly candles and scents, a live plant or fresh flora. This will lead to a restful sanctuary with a somewhat holistic approach.
Conclusion
It is my mission to embody a unique blend of character and class when styling a man’s interior, and I hope my mood boards serve as a guide in achieving personal taste and visual connection for you. Whether you prefer a minimalist approach, or a layered design, the key is to curate a bedroom design to suit your solitary needs.
