Decor: adding a touch of masculinity for a bedroom?

3 år siden

Hi everyone,

My boyfriend and I just moved into a new apartment. I want to make sure our decor has masculine elements for him as well. My style tends to lean more contemporary and my boyfriend likes a classic elegant decor. I am looking for a way to make our bedroom more masculine as we have quite a few feminine peices in the bedroom. Everything but the furniture can be switched out and I plan on keeping the royal blue color at the least. Attached are photos of the room and a photo of the main living area as I want the design to flow throughout the apartment. Also please ignore the mess and uncompleted decor we are just getting moved in. Thanks!

I was wanting to get curtains like this (my boyfriend likes the elegance the sheer pannels add) but need to offset it with more masculinity: https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Aurora-Home-Mix-Match-Blackout-Tulle-Lace-Bronze-Grommet-4-Piece-Curtain-Panel-Set/11816172/product.html?option=18605675&utm_medium=social&utm_source=pinterest

I'm not sure if any of the replies are from guys , but allegedly I am one hahaha .

Pretty easy really -- pull the duvet back across 3/4 of the bed , with a large hump on a diagonal .

Get a couple of wet mismatched towels , and throw them on top of the cover so they can dry out ( saves having to wash them every 2 weeks too ! ) .

A couple of large posters of your mans favourite singers/actresses , and one of his favourite car model . Bonus points if the model of car has an actual model draped provocatively across it .

In the corner , have a pile of clothes that may need washing in about 3 weeks -- BOTH pairs of jeans , 4 1/2 pairs of socks , all 5 pairs of undies , including the ones that are now lovingly referred to as 'crotchless' , and 7 black T shirts with band names on .

In the lounge , a tea towel on the white 'coffee' table will stop the white top getting shoe skid marks on it , and its sad to see only 1 remote there -- you need at least 7 , even if you aren't sure what 5 of them do . . . . . . . . . .

Thats a start .

The bedspread is decidedly feminine. I would replace it with a mustard or clay coloured doona cover. The cushions and artwork are fine. I would get matching bedside lamps, a bit larger with a light wooden base and neutral shades. If you have room you might consider moving the coffee table to the end of your bed. You could put books on top, even a world globe. I think the vertical blinds are fine. Sheers will add a more feminine touch in the bedroom. The white coffee table does not go with your lounge. You need something more robust looking and definitely not white. You can easily tie in colours between rooms with cushions, rugs etc. Good luck.

Bed looks great and the turquoise is a great accent I’d paint the white furniture darker. Could go brown black or if daring turquoise or orange. Add these ,or one of, these last two colours into your lounge as cushions and accessories

The colour blue works really well if you want to add some masculinity. Have you ever considered painting the wall behind the bed? Dark navy blue would be a beautiful contrast with the bed and furniture. Together with those curtains you’re after it would create that elegant look you’re looking for. If painting the wall sounds too scary you could choose a dark blue doona cover instead. Tie it al together by adding some decorations in matching colours. Repetition of one or two colours is the key secret. Yellow, gold and natural tones complement blue nicely.

A dark feature wall in the bedroom will definitely add a punch to the room. This dark colour can be added to the living room (and any other areas), perhaps in form of a patterned wallpaper, along with accessories like cushions, throws etc. that is assuming you’re both fans of wallpaper of course. I would also add large area rugs in both areas and add some metallic accents via accessories to achieve the elegance he likes.

For me no frills and floral print anything will be enough

Hi there.

I would just go for some charcoal linen, just all out monochrome for the bedding and keep it really simple. It will make your art work command the space and simplify the look.

A patterned rug in the living room with some indoor plants will create more interest and vitality without too much fuss.
