How To Have A Masculine Bedroom
Seldom do you see a bachelor's home with dollies on the chair and everything neat and tidy. Men have always referred to their home as their castle. It simply is the only place that a man can go to feel comfortable. Having a home that is decorated by you and you only is a great way to make that home more personal.
Masculine is having a bedroom without lace, frills, and ruffles but it can still be snugly and comfortable. A masculine bedroom is mostly used for resting and relaxing and should incorporate colors that will make him feel most restful and relaxed. Try painting the ceiling a different color than the walls and adding draperies to coordinate that have a simple design and hang straight. The bedspread and draperies should be the same color but can be plaid, print, geometric, etc. as well as solid.

Choose A Theme And Color
The choice of a theme should be decided when you first get started. You could choose something like camping or a woodsier atmosphere and use the colors that would be found in these two settings. Earth tones, which include; browns, greens, orange, red, yellow and blues but are more subdued than bright.
Choose the main color and two complimentary colors for accent colors. Shades of blues and greens will make the room more peaceful, serene and calming but these can be added as accent colors to earth tones. Furniture could be wood tones in lights; Maple, Oak, Ash, Medium wood tones like Cherry and dark tones like walnut which could be the starting point when choosing the color of the room and the accents. Consider natural floor coverings like a sisal area rug.

A painting or special photos can be displayed on the wall with lighting to accent them. Choice photos or painting that add color within the color scheme. Lighting is important and can be achieved in so many different ways. For example; recessed, bedside lamps or ceiling fan, plus many more choices. You could suspend a blue canopy from the ceiling and add small lights for a camping under the stars theme.
Television in the bedroom is a must for some people and if one is chosen try putting it in a cabinet that has doors that close for when it isn't in use or try adding a stereo instead, drifting off the sleep with music is more comforting and relaxing.
Remember men like bargains too and try shopping at discount prices and yard sales, you never know what you may find that will be that special something to make his bedroom a place of rest and comfort without costing a lot of money.
Fabric chosen should be washable and easy care as well as warm and comfortable. As should your area rugs - consider a comfy shag area rug.
The stereo system should rock. Make it in a place that you can turn it on and hear it all over the house. Add speakers in every room by simply running individual speakers through a tiny hole that you drill in a corner. Hiding the wire may be hard to do but you can do it.
Don't experiment with anything that may be permanent incase you do not like what is chosen. Make it simple and basic.
