Personal space is a special territory, therefore, when creating an interior, it is important to take into account character traits, stylistic preferences, as well as favorite activities. How is a stylish and functional interior for a man created?
Of course, there is no universal “male” interior. Everything is determined by the temperament of the owner of the room, his taste and habits.

What to consider
There are a few key points to watch out for:
- Age category. And this is understandable, because a boy under the age of 18 and a man of about 30 have completely different preferences in the interior and everyday activities.
- The male interior assumes more functionality and fewer decorative elements than in rooms intended for the fair sex.
- Interests and preferences. It is important that the furnishings, color and arrangement of certain items are comfortable and pleasant to the "owner" of the room.
- Layout type. It can be open or closed. Sometimes, as a compromise, combined spaces are created (for example, a guy's bedroom and a living room, or a kitchen and a living room).
- Design. It is important to choose a specific style for a young man's room, and in accordance with it, build a design concept. In addition, it is important to "match" the interior of the room with the interior of the apartment as a whole.
- Determine what zones will be in the room.
- Professional features and hobbies.
Color solutions
For some reason, it is generally accepted that the male interior should be decorated in neutral colors. Designers are sure that this is how the restraint and severity of a truly masculine character is emphasized. Unfortunately, this approach often results in a faceless and monotonous interior. Believe me, a few bright accents and expression will not interfere with even a strict masculine design.

Often a young man's room includes several functional areas at once: an office, a living room, a bedroom, and so on. Therefore, the furnishings and decoration of the premises must meet the requirements.
Bright colors are not just acceptable, but even desirable, the main thing is to apply them in dosage and in the right places. For example, bright accents allow you to make an interesting transition from one zone to another and to highlight accents. By the way, with the help of contrast, they hide the imperfections of the room: the unevenness of the walls or the uncomfortable shape of the room.
Furniture items can act as color accents, for example, a white sofa against a black wall.
Or a bedside table with an original design

For the recreation area, warmer colors are chosen so that nothing interferes with a good rest. But bright shades in the work area will clearly stimulate vigorous activity, and neutral shades are suitable for the storage area.

If you decide to use bright colors, remember that it is recommended to use them only on one wall. Two or more in a bright performance will look tasteless, and it will be uncomfortable to be in such a room. In addition, the abundance of bright colors visually reduces the space.
For example, consider several options:
- If you love the sea and everything connected with it, put blue at the forefront and "dilute" it with white. Olive color and turquoise will perfectly fit into this palette.

- If you consider yourself a person with an active lifestyle, then use bright saturated colors and feel free to “play” in contrast. Purple, blue, yellow and green are your colors and will help you be active.

- Ever dreamed of minimalist directions? Then give preference to pastel colors, use beige, all shades of white, as well as brown, black and gray. However, to make the interior look interesting, do not forget about bright accents, even if there are not many of them, but they should be.

- If winter freshness is your story, then use a snow-white color diluted with pale blue in the decoration. As an accent, you can use a blue tone or two darker than the main one.
Wall murals in blue tones are great as spectacular accents.
Furniture and decor
There is not much furniture in the men's room, only the bare essentials. Usually, the standard "set" remains the same, regardless of the style. What does it include? First of all, this is a workplace consisting of a computer desk and an ergonomic chair (or chair). Things are usually kept in a closet, but if we are talking about business style, then it is better to use a wardrobe in which you can hang suits so that they do not wrinkle. If preference is given to a wardrobe, then it must necessarily be massive, emphasizing the brutality of its owner.
Even a relatively small wardrobe is always better than a simple wardrobe.
Another must-have is a TV. Usually it is installed opposite the sofa to make it easier to watch your favorite shows.
In a spacious room, it is necessary to allocate space for a spacious sofa.
The bed is also an important part of the interior. If there is not enough space, then it is changed to a folding sofa. Sleeping on it is not so comfortable, but it saves space.
The bed should be comfortable and wide, if the size of the room allows
Drinks bar and audio system are optional. These components of the interior are quite specific, so they are not required.
A place for a small workshop can also be found in such a room. Any real man knows how and loves to work with his hands, while the result of such work can be very different, but the main thing is that there is a convenient place for such activities. It is expected to be equipped with the necessary tools and equipment.
The design of the workplace depends on the hobbies of the young man
If we talk about decor, then usually there are not many such items in a guy's room, but it all depends on individual preferences. For example, many men like surrealistic creativity, and they are happy to complement the interior with figurines and paintings made in this style.
Decorating elements of the interior should reflect the hobbies of the owner of the room.
By the way, there is one common misconception about "male" interiors: it is believed that they do not "get along" with indoor plants. It's not like that at all. Properly selected houseplants will harmoniously decorate the room.

But without which it is absolutely impossible to imagine an interior for men, it is all sorts of trophies: tools for hunting, souvenirs, sports awards and the like.
Styles
There are several styles that are most often used for the design of men's interiors:
- Minimalism. A laconic interior with the most necessary items: a table, a chair, a bed and a wardrobe for storing things. The windows are decorated with thick curtains. The color scheme is dominated by brown, blue and gray. Designers recommend such an interior for those who spend most of their time at work and need a good night's rest.

- High tech. There is an opinion that this design direction is “soulless” and cold. However, by choosing the right pieces of furniture, textiles and decorative elements, even in this style, you can create a cozy and pleasant interior. It is better to make the ceiling multi-level, with lamps located at different heights. Ideal wall decoration means the same color, but different texture. The window can be left completely without textiles, or it can be decorated with translucent tulle. Wood, steel (it is better if it is chrome-plated), brick, or a high-quality imitation of the above materials are used as finishing materials.

- Art Deco. A very interesting design trend that combines wealth and luxury. Furniture with an abundance of luxurious decorative elements. The bed is always made of natural wood, decorated with gilding. The colors are burgundy, gold, silver and milky. Natural wood, semi-precious stones, crystal, ivory are used as finishing materials. From textiles, preference is given to satin, velvet and silk.

- Classic. A distinctive feature of the style is constancy, this trend has been unchanged for many years. Classics with a "masculine character" are oak or maple parquet, Venetian plaster on the walls and matte wallpaper. To make the ceiling look spectacular, make false beams. The choice of decorative elements is quite large: figurines and vases, paintings or photos on the walls, a multi-lamp chandelier on the ceiling, dense textiles for window decoration.

- If you consider yourself to be in the category of incorrigible romantics, then most likely your story is a nautical style. The color scheme is considered to be determining in this design: the color of the sea "in the company" with the color of the sun. The plank floor will resemble a deck. Furniture items should be made of natural wood, preferably with an aging effect.
The nautical style of the interior is usually based on a combination of white and blue or light blue shades.
General rules for all styles:
- If you want the interior to look decent and serve for many years, choose high-quality finishing materials. Non-woven or fiberglass wallpapers are the right choice for your walls.
- It is better to make the ceiling stretch, and point lighting. Hang a chandelier over the guest table, and let a comfortable and functional table lamp "settle" on the desktop.
- Ideal for a "masculine interior" curtains are Roman or roller blinds. Avoid colors with bright prints; window decoration should be concise. Even if it is not a plain textile, the pattern should not be intrusive.
So, the design of a room for a young man in a modern style should not be boring and impersonal. Don't be afraid to use bright accents in moderation. Remember the preferences of the "owner" of the room, because the main thing is that he is comfortable and pleasant to be in this space. Well, if you doubt that you will be able to independently arrange a "male interior" - contact professional designers. They will definitely be able to make your dreams come true.
