How to fashion a masculine interior

Elegant masculine tailoring is all over the catwalks, reflecting the modern urban man: confident yet understated.To recreate this look in your own home, start with a colour palette of dark, sultry hues – think charcoals, rich chocolate browns and dark moody blues and greys. Enhance the dramatic atmosphere with masculine furniture in similarly dark colours, such as a large black chesterfield sofa or a mahogany table.

Spaces with lots of straight edges and hard lines can often feel imposing. Adding some softer touches to your masculine interior will help you create a balanced look. Why not try introducing flowing, organic curves by using lush greenery and stylish pot plants to bring a natural touch to the space?

Texture is another easy way to add softness to your room. The simple addition of a luxurious velvet cushion, a sisal rug or chunky knits will all help to give your space depth, lifting it from cold to inviting.
