Sometime after the poster-lined bedroom of your youth and the plastic crate coffee tables of college, you probably experienced a bit of a style dilemma. When you spend much of your time focused on school, work and family, you don’t have a lot of time to invest in interior design. The only thing you probably know for sure is that posters, beer signs and mismatched furniture just don’t cut anymore.

Distinguished Design

The difficulty in sharing a home is that your style has to mesh with someone else’s. While that can be a challenge, it can also be a lot of fun. Everyone in the home should have an area or room that’s special to them, and discovering what makes something special to you can be quite a revelation. Distinguished design doesn't have to be boring or stiff, but combines masculine lines and soft elements. Share on X

Sophisticated Design

Creating a sophisticated den, office or library doesn’t have to be boring. Throw out your preconceived notions of what a masculine space should look like. Have fun with the textures and types of furniture. A luxurious Chesterfield sofa and unique antique pieces of furniture can elevate and personalize any space.

Conveys Personality

Creating a handsome room should include injecting some of your personality into it. A bold statement wall, handpicked artwork or beloved collection on display can really make the space your own. Something as simple as swapping out the lighting fixture that came with the home in favor of something modern or dramatic can make a big impression.

Mix Styles

Pair sturdy furniture with straight lines with more elaborate pieces for a balanced aesthetic and visual interest. Imagine an elaborate antique humidor sitting next to a comfortably modern armchair. Don’t be afraid to mix styles to achieve a look that you’ll love. After all, the space is for you!

Pull It Together

A masculine room design may embrace dark, saturated colors, clean lines and an absence of clutter. Pops of color can add a modern element, while unexpected or mixed materials provide a certain charm. Something, be it a rug or large piece of furniture, should pull it all together.

Harmony

The best thing about distinguished design is that it’s beautiful to both men and women. When you’re sharing a home, every room is used by various members of the house. Each room should be tasteful and unique, and appreciated by everyone.
