Build a Manly Interior that Will Look Attractive to an Entire Family


Build a Manly Interior that Will Look Attractive to an Entire Family

Creating a manly living room can prove to be challenging at times, especially when your significant other wants things to look more feminine than masculine. The kids may not have a preference because they’re so young, but as they grow older they’ll most definitely appreciate a versatile space that’s trendy and not extremely feminine or masculine, but just right. A manly interior is still attractive to a woman; it is just has more clean lines and looks a lot simpler. Develop an interior with a streamlined look and the room will rugged and attractive simultaneously.

Furniture and Textures that are Manly

From cheap leather sofas to a solid oak table to put a drink on, the idea is to create a suitable living room area that will look handsome but will also be livable. Incorporating masculine textures may include finding a tweed chair or another piece of furniture that’s rustic looking. Texture plays a huge part in developing a masculine room and this includes finding the right kind of window treatments, which is important as well. Find a blind in a bamboo fabric and it will certainly maintain the masculine textured look that you’re looking to implement in the space.

Solid Color Rugs and Blankets

Another way to make a room streamlined and versatile is by finding a simple rug and other elements, such as a blanket that’s not very busy. A rug that’s made in a solid color is one way to keep things very simple in a room. Shapes that are non circular are the key to keeping things more neutral and again texture is important, so if you come across a rug that’s seagrass influenced, for example, this type of decoration may be the perfect fit in the space.

Keep it Comfortable and Simple

Simplicity has a lot to do with designing a room that’s more masculine than feminine and comfort is most important. Don’t implement too many pillows, but instead keep it simple with just a few large throw pillows. Of course don’t forget a leather footstool to go with your rugged looking sofa and make sure the sofa is extra comfortable for when it’s time to watch the games or an afternoon television show with the entire family. Now you can sit back and relax in a manly interior that’s pleasing to everyone!
