Masculine design is a feeling when you walk in, but how do you create it and keep it more chic than a mancave and more polished than hand me downs?
Masculine home décor doesn’t mean dark and dreary. Today’s modern masculine spaces blend rich textures, sleek lines, and smart functionality to create a polished yet cozy atmosphere. Start with a strong foundation: deep tones like charcoal, forest green, or navy provide depth, while natural materials like leather, wood, and metal add sophistication. Sarah Sherman Samuel often recommends mixing hard and soft elements—pair a structured leather chair with a soft wool throw or velvet pillow for contrast.
Layering is key to avoiding a flat, cold look. Use rugs to define spaces (Amber Interiors suggests vintage Persian rugs for warmth), and don’t shy away from artwork that reflects your personality—large-scale abstract pieces or even a well-framed vintage map can add interest. Lighting is another essential element; opt for industrial-style fixtures or Edison bulbs to complement the aesthetic. Finally, bring in a touch of greenery for life and vibrancy. With these elements, your space will feel stylish and welcoming without sacrificing personality.
