Masculine Bedroom Ideas To Get A Stunning Look
The best design for any space is an interior that reflects the personality and addresses the personality and needs of its user. Although I believe that there is no gender when it comes to design, I also believe that each gender has specific needs and habits that also have to be considered during the design process. For most males, function reigns supreme when it comes to interiors, making contemporary/modern design a popular choice.
One of the most common characteristics of masculine bedroom ideas would be their use of raw/rough textures. The masculine bedroom pictured above shows a great way to subtly incorporate it in the design, creating a modern industrial look.
With a color scheme inspired by rust, you will find 2 shades of brown used on the walls and accents of orange. Although most surfaces are smooth for practical purposes, it adds a large art piece above the headboard which is an image of a rusty metal sheet. This way, we are able to add that raw texture, without having to actually use a rusty metal sheet. The exposed pipes and tubes on the ceiling also add to the industrial feel of the space, which is complemented by the silver satin bed sheets.
There are many ways and different styles we can use to create a masculine bedroom design, and here are some important points to consider when designing men’s bedroom:
Colors: While colors have no specific gender they cater to, and are really a matter of preference, statistical data on men’s color preference will give you an idea of colors typically favored by men. Using this as a guide, one can conclude that most men prefer darker, more muted colors than bolder and more vibrant hues.
When designing, remember to keep a balance between light and dark colors, and also, it is better to keep major surfaces more basic/muted so that it’s easier to redecorate in the future. If you would like to use bright colors, it is better to limit its use to accent pieces.
Decoration: A more masculine bedroom goes a little easier with decoration and tends to be more utilitarian. No unnecessary frills or decorations, and should be easy to maintain. You can also incorporate the interests and hobbies of the user into the decoration of the space – men would enjoy utilitarian decoration or any displays that help reflect their personalities and interests. For example, those who love sports might want to display some sports paraphernalia, plaques, or awards.
Those who love music might want a guitar hanging on the wall, or whatever music-related item. Bedrooms are our private lair, and the best design is a design that gives a peek into our personalities.
Patterns & Textures: Men usually prefer a simpler, more functional design, so they also prefer simpler patterns, and more natural textures. If you observe, most furniture pieces they prefer have simple geometries and plain-colored fabrics. When using patterns, natural designs, geometric designs, and natural textures are most preferred, making sure to add enough plain surfaces to balance out the patterns and textures used.
Lighting: Create a cozy yet mysterious appeal to any bedroom by adding accent lights that emphasize interior architecture or furniture details. Warm colors give a casual and relaxing vibe, which is preferred by most males. You can also use color-changing LEDs to match the colors according to your mood and create a different ambiance each time.
When designing bedrooms for men, always remember that less is more. You don’t need to cover all surfaces with patterns and decoration – negative spaces are also needed to keep a balanced look.
Also, it is important to note that while keeping it simple is good, you should not be afraid to try and combine different colors, textures and finishes to achieve the look you want. Always remember that it is most important to provide the needs and reflect the personality of its user, so if they want to be bolder, you should not be afraid to do so.
