42 Masculine Bedroom Ideas
Men love beautiful and well-designed rooms too, but creating a masculine bedroom can be a bit more difficult.
It’s not just a matter of choosing a particular color or a specific pattern, it’s a whole lifestyle that can be reflected in interior design.
In other words, there are certain elements that are universally considered masculine.
If you’re looking for some inspiration, we can help you with these 10 masculine bedroom ideas.
1. Dark colors
Dark colors are a popular choice in masculine bedroom ideas.
They create a cozy space and are perfect for getting that cocooning effect that makes a bedroom feel like the perfect retreat.
You can go as dark as you like with the walls, but if you are decorating a small bedroom,
you might want to keep the walls lighter and bring in darker colors through the furniture and accessories.
2. Vintage and antique furniture
If you love the look of a traditional, button-back Chesterfield but don’t want to commit to a whole sofa, a Chesterfield bed is a great alternative.
This room designed by Studio Ashby is a great example of how you can add a touch of vintage to a modern bedroom.
The bed, chest of drawers, and table lamps are all vintage pieces that have been given a contemporary twist with the rest of the room’s design.
3. Wall art
A great way to add personality to a bedroom design is to incorporate wall art.
It’s the finishing touch that can take a room from looking nice to looking like the person who lives there.
You can choose to go with a gallery wall full of images that reflect your own style or you could go with one large piece of art that really makes a statement.
When designing a bedroom, we like to start with the art and then pull the color scheme from that.
It’s a great way to ensure that your art really stands out in the space.
4. A comfortable bed
We are stating the obvious here, but a bed is the main focus of any bedroom.
You want to make sure you are choosing the best one for your space, so consider the size, style and the mattress before you buy.
If you are decorating a small bedroom, we would recommend going for the biggest bed your room can comfortably fit.
It’s the place you spend the most time in, so you want to make sure it’s as roomy as possible.
Then, consider the style. We have tips on how to choose a bed that’s right for your space in our buying guide, but in short,
the style of the bed should reflect the style you are going for in the rest of the room.
5. A sitting area
If you have the space, why not add a small seating area to your bedroom? You can use it as a place to get ready in the morning, or as a reading nook.
We love the look of this space, the dark colors, and traditional furniture give it a more formal look. But the large rug and the plants bring in a more relaxed vibe.
6. A desk or work area
If you are designing a bedroom that’s part of a larger open-plan space, like a studio apartment, you will want to think about adding a work area into the room.
Here, a simple desk has been added to the side of the bed, creating a clear divide between the sleeping area and the office space.
If your desk is going to be in your bedroom, try to position it so that it’s not the first thing you see when you wake up. Instead,
have it facing away from the bed so you can start your day without work being the first thing on your mind.
7. A TV or entertainment area
If you have the room, a separate seating area with a TV is a great idea.
It means you can keep the bed for sleeping and not have to worry about any of the other distractions that come with having a TV in your bedroom.
If you are going to go for a TV in the bedroom, we would suggest mounting it on the wall to save space and keep surfaces clutter-free.
But if you want to be able to hide the TV when it’s not in use, a TV bed is a great option.
You can get some really stylish designs that have the TV pop up at the end of the bed.
8. A large rug
We’ve talked about how adding a rug to your bedroom can make the space feel cozier and more inviting,
but in a masculine bedroom, a rug can also be a great way to add a bold pattern or color to the space.
In this large bedroom, a patterned rug adds a pop of color to the otherwise neutral space.
The rug also helps to define the sleeping area and creates a sense of balance in the room.
If you have a large bedroom, consider using a rug to create a focal point or to define different areas of the space.
9. Masculine patterns
Who said that a masculine bedroom couldn’t have pattern? It’s all about choosing the right design and color.
In this space, the pattern is the focus of the room and everything else, the block color walls, the velvet bed and even the marble side tables, are there to enhance it.
If you are after a more subtle pattern, check out the carpet in this bedroom too. It adds a touch of interest and texture without being too bold.
10. A place for everything
This bedroom is the perfect example of how to create a minimalist space that is still warm and inviting.
The color scheme is simple, and the furniture and decor are all very sleek and modern,
but there is a lot of texture and pattern going on that gives the room a cozy feel.
The large area rug, the upholstered bed, the throw pillows, and the throw blanket all add a lot of texture and pattern to the room.
Use this bedroom as an example and make sure to add in plenty of texture and pattern to your bedroom to keep it from feeling too plain.
Conclusion
You can make a big impact with a small budget by creating a feature wall. A simple way to do this is to paint one wall of the room in a dark color.
You could also use wallpaper to create a feature wall.
If you are on a budget, you could even create a feature wall on a budget by using fabric. This is a great way to add texture to your bedroom.
