Welcome to the Homely Design Studio blog. Homely Design Studio an online interior design collective that creates beautiful, well-designed interiors for our clients. Read on to find out more about our post on masculine glam tips and how we make our client happy.
Today we begin our post on masculine glam and our first stop: the boudoir!
The clichéd masculine room is usually either a dark, messy man cave with sports posters, minimalist and ultramodern space with chrome fixtures and bare windows that speaks more ‘gallery’ than actual living quarters. Now, it’s time to break out of those tired notions and embrace the sophistication and versatility that intrinsically masculine design elements can offer to any space. A well-designed masculine room can be classy, strong, understated and warm, while effectively conveying the personality of its occupant.
The client had to hide some ducting so we decided to build out a faux wall and class it with wallpaper! Double headboard anyone? We think it really elevated the space! She wanted a masculine and glam look all at the same time! Did we make this husband and wife happy? I think so!
While lightweight, curvy and delicate objects look naturally feminine, heavier, sturdier-looking objects with straight lines and square corners exude a more masculine appearance.
Material. There are certain qualities and materials that pertains to a masculine design, items such as leather, flannel, metal, dark wood, glass and wool tend to evoke a more manly vibe are our favorite choices.
The Essentials. To achieve a dramatic impact, adding a darker saturated color as an accent will create an atmosphere that is both masculine and elegant. As to the rest of the walls, it would be nice to preserve your existing color as it will coordinate with the rest of the first level and tie everything together. Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish. Now, who says the masculine bedroom can’t be playful?
The Accessories. Speaking of keeping it interesting, masculine space celebrates eclectic style with eye-catching artwork, geometric lighting, and a slew of traditional details like a headboard with nailhead trim. Also, reflective surfaces and shimmering textiles aren’t exclusively feminine concepts. Here are some handpicked accessories that are both dramatic and substantial.
