10 Stylish Bedrooms With a Decidedly Masculine Vibe
Cut the fluff and get right to the point with crisper edges, toned-down colors and a whole lot less stuff
Once you start declaring something masculine or feminine, you get into dangerous territory. Because of course there are men who love pink and women who have never met a ruffle they could stand.
There are, however, certain qualities and materials associated with a more masculine aesthetic. Things like flannel, leather and wool tend to evoke a manly vibe. As do colors like gray, black, brown and blue. Straight lines and hard edges read as masculine, as does an absence of bright colors.
These 10 bedrooms can all be considered masculine spaces. They are not all exactly the same, and they are not for men only. But they do answer the question of how to create a stylish, comfortable bedroom if you tend toward the concrete and simple rather than the cushy and lavish.

Crisp pleats, crisp folds and crisp lines. Everything is planes and lines.
Black and charcoal dominate this elegant modern bedroom. When you go this dramatic, very little embellishment is called for.
Masculine doesn't have to mean dark. A combination of whites and tans keeps it bright but without any unnecessary frills.
Few things say manly better than man's best friend.
This bedroom is plush and snug but in classically masculine patterns and textures: plaid, flannel and formal pleats.
Doesn't the sculpture above the bed look like swords and a shield? The rest is pretty manly too, but that piece is practically thumping its chest.
Another thing masculine rooms have in common is an utter lack of clutter. In fact, an utter lack of stuff. Color and shape stand out when they are not competing with much else.
I love this take on cozy masculinity. In fact, I love everything about this elegant, light-filled room, including its strong bones and sturdy simplicity.
