It can sometimes be hard to hit the right note when decorating a man's bedroom – you want it to be sleek and chic but you don't want the look to feel clinical. We're here to come to the rescue with our favourite guys bedroom ideas and show you how to create a sleek space that still offers personality.
Remember that it's a good idea to use art and accessories to breathe life into a masculine space.
Don't be afraid to use colour in men's bedroom ideas either, whether it's on your walls or through soft furnishings.
'Use clean black lines to define furniture and architectural shapes in men's bedroom ideas,' advises Jenna Choate, Co-Founder, Interior Fox (opens in new tab). In terms of bedroom design tips, the key is to be minimal with pattern, instead consider stripes and solids, they are a perfect combo.'
'Why not do something dramatic on the walls,' suggests Justyna Korczynska, Senior Designer, Crown (opens in new tab). 'Something as simple as a bold, dark colour like a charcoal, deep berry or navy is an easy way to achieve this effect.'
'Play with dark and moody schemes in men's bedroom ideas,' says Jamie Watkins, Co-Founder, Divine Savages (opens in new tab). 'Mix metallic bedroom wallpaper ideas and sumptuous velvet fabrics with contrasting gold accents colours for a glamorous twist.'
This effect will add an extra dimension to your walls, and a subtle and very liveable element of pattern. Dark shades work especially well as when light hits the panels it creates another layer of pattern.
These darker woods naturally give off a masculine feel, and pair equally as beautifully with both deep and pale schemes meaning it works whatever bedroom colour schemes you're considering for your men's bedroom decor. Not only are geometrics a sleek, chic way to add pattern and life to a room, they're also achingly cool.
Coastal chic is a timeless trend in interiors, and it works wonderfully for men's bedroom ideas. Whitewashed shiplap walls bring that Hamptons cool and will open up the space by boosting light levels.
As well as the obvious added comfort, the right choice can become a focal point in men's bedroom ideas. The love of grey is still seen in most rooms of the house, but is a natural fit for men's bedroom ideas as it offers masculinity but with the perfect amount of softness.
Large pieces of art are an elegant and tasteful way to elevate your men's bedroom ideas to a super-stylish sanctuary. Choose black and white prints for an otherwise colourful room for a cool focal point. Alternatively, with relatively simple white bedroom ideas you may want to add a splash of colour and pattern with a vibrant canvas.
'Neutral tones allow you to work with different textures through natural materials such as rattan, seagrass or distressed wood used across furniture and accessories, all adding dimension and a depth that is pleasing to the eye.'
'Sticking to a neutral colour palette for men's bedroom decor will allow flexibility and creates a scheme that’s classic and timeless,' says Mariana from Interior Fox. 'White sheets are always best, swap out colourful cushions with linen alternatives and consider painting the room in a warm tone of off-white.'
Rich background colours set off these natural elements beautifully and add a real luxury to men's bedroom ideas.'
