Say Manly And Mean It

Has your home become almost feminine in the look of the decor? Over time it happens, the light colors, lace on the curtains, and flowered borders are everywhere. But men can decorate and inspire the current decor in your home quick and easy. Men need and deserve that little place that they can call their own that excludes the garage. Nothing is wrong with the garage for tinkering and stuff but men want to be able to relax in a room that is free from feminine decor. Here are some tips to make your home more for a man.

Turn up the color by adding a rustic red or another deep bright color to your decor. It’s not always about soft warm colors that usually indicate that a woman has decorated the room. The rustic red color can be handy when it comes to giving enough light to the room but not allowing it to be too bright. Floral prints are out.

When selecting furniture for the room you want to choose something that is oversized and with soft fabric. You should have one piece of furniture in that room that can recline. Use a solid print couch and a chair with a print on it to make the room easy on the eyes. Don’t use bright colored material because your walls are already bright. Using loud flashy colors will just be a mistake. Light colors should be at a minimal.

Lighting is important so why not purchase some track lighting for your room? It can give enough light for you to see without straining your eyes but without the glare. Add a couple of floor lamps in the corners Match picture frames to the wood color and tone on the end tables. This will blend in better. Don’t have too many textures and flashy colors and arts

You need to consider your art work that will be displayed in your room Try hanging up some snap shots of your kids and family. If you have a hobby then you will want to highlight that hobby in your decor. For example if you like boats you can use this as your theme. Hang your family crest up on the wall as a wonderful decoration.

You want to add a great looking entertainment center as your focal point of your room. You can purchase these in different shades of wood as well as metal frames. Add to it the ultimate surround sound system and you are well on your way to having the best set up in a man’s room.
