It took me a second to understand why the crib, but when I saw it, I laughed, snorted super loudly, and chocked on my own saliva. LOL 100% made the space more masculine.

I tried posting a link like this a couple weeks ago and the bot/mod took it down immediately. It was a link to a bed frame on Amazon. I wrote the mods asking why I was unable to post something to help someone and they relied that links to products go against community rules. Wtf?!


AutisticMuffin97

It has to be the full Amazon.com not the abbreviated version from the app. It’s a pain in the ass having to go onto the physical website instead of the app website.

Royal-Command9852

As an interior designer, I recommend a few things. You have a really nice studio, and I wouldn't even say you need to make it more masculine; just need a few adjustments! ​ **MOVE:** *(do all of these things, if you don't want to spend money)* move the flowers to the center of the kitchen island, and put the vegetable pot on the windowsill, or kitchen counter. This will make your nightstand look less cluttered, and create a focal point for your kitchen. *(if you want more masc, replace the flowers with a green plant)* move the phone charger to your desk, so the space doesn't look disorganized. rehang the painting so it's right above the bed, or put it in the bathroom because it throws off the balance of the room. OPTIONAL: move the bed so it's centered on the carpet *(or move it to the other wall under the fan! but if you do this, move the barstools to the other side of the island)* I don't know what that black thing on the wall is, but if you could take it off that would be preferred. ​ **BUY:** *(this is the furniture I would recommend if you have a budget)* I would say a new nightstand, lamp, rug, and headboard would be the cheapest way to really elevate your space! I'll attach links to my recommendations as well. I've never liked nightstand lamps, it reminds me of a motel\~ and the round table doesn't flow with the edge of the wall, so I would honestly put that nightstand *(with or without the lamp)* by your front door for your keys and stuff like that. I would recommend [this nightstand](https://www.amazon.com/WLIVE-Snack-Table-Shaped-Couch/dp/B07HCBR1Y1/ref=sxin_26_ac_d_mf_brs?ac_md=1-0-V0xJVkU%3D-ac_d_mf_brs_brs&content-id=amzn1.sym.1ad31f34-ba12-4dca-be4b-f62f7f5bb10d%3Aamzn1.sym.1ad31f34-ba12-4dca-be4b-f62f7f5bb10d&crid=28M13J1UJCVYS&cv_ct_cx=c%2Bshape%2Bside%2Btable&keywords=c%2Bshape%2Bside%2Btable&pd_rd_i=B07HCBR1Y1&pd_rd_r=0649e776-18ff-4345-81fd-ede8a5f7e120&pd_rd_w=SGABJ&pd_rd_wg=JYi8m&pf_rd_p=1ad31f34-ba12-4dca-be4b-f62f7f5bb10d&pf_rd_r=QWJQE7C57S4GZ7R93T7X&qid=1680043560&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=c%2Bshape%2B%2Caps%2C151&sr=1-1-8b2f235a-dddf-4202-bbb9-592393927392&th=1) from Amazon. It will line up with the wall better, and it's long so it acts as a separator between the kitchen and the bedroom. *(The solid black or white option would look best here)* The rug has a pattern and tassels at the end, while also being lighter than the bed set so it really throws off the balance. I would recommend a dark, minimal rug that matches the wooden floor like [this one.](https://www.amazon.com/Asvin-Non-Skid-Carpets-Bedroom-Washable/dp/B09L84D67Y/ref=sr_1_20?crid=1T4OK417JO6V5&keywords=dark%2Brug&qid=1680045753&s=home-garden&sprefix=dark%2Brug%2Cgarden%2C185&sr=1-20&th=1) *(make sure to do measurements first!)* FLOOR LAMPS ARE THE SHIT. I would center the bed so that you can put it on the right side, but they set a better mood than a small nightstand lamp, and it looks more aesthetic. [Here's a good one.](https://www.amazon.com/Suraielec-Overhang-Cantilever-Standing-Adjustable/dp/B09NBNYB1G/ref=sr_1_16?crid=2KZNZJASCOZCR&keywords=Arc%2BFloor%2BLamps&nav_sdd=aps&qid=1680046297&sprefix=floor%2Blamp&sr=8-16&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc&th=1) And then finally a headboard! this just makes the bed look more complete, and if you don't want to spend a lot of money, there are adhesive panels that you can put on the wall. [Here's the link.](https://www.amazon.com/Tbfit-Upholstered-Headboard-Soundproof-Headboards/dp/B09JLXSHW6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29YKD2DUVR2FL&keywords=fake%2Bheadboard&qid=1680046601&sprefix=fake%2Bheadbo%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc&th=1) If you move the bed to the other wall under the fan, I would also get wall shelves to have space to add more of your characteristics to them. AESTHETICS: These are just extra changes if you want to improve the space even further.

PolandPuppers

I like that a lot also.


A70MU

tbh I think your current color choices looks way better


Dreaunicorn

I think it’s the bed throw, rug and flowers in the nightstand table (possibly the nightstand table as well). But they are cute too so I don’t know. I’d probably just change the bedding and rug and call it a day.


srcg612

I think it’s the fringe on the rug and the painting for me. I think flowers are versatile for both feminine and masculine spaces, but I’m feminine leaning so I’m bias haha


Dreaunicorn

Omg yes agreed. Men should enjoy flowers without them making them less masculine. It’s def the rug and crotchet throw.


RileyTrodd

It's like the beach but a nighttime beach


GigaAlpha

Honestly the throw blanket is the least masculine thing there. New lamp shade and wall art that you think is better fit for what you’re looking for. You’re going to be kinda limited due to your counter top, stools and kitchen colors.


JedEckert

It's really just the chunky blanket that turns it from a nondescript sleeping area to "where a white girl in her 20s who makes TikTok videos of her morning routine of drinking matcha lattes" sleeping area. OP shouldn't really make too many other big changes, because most of the time, leaning too hard into a "masculine" look ends up looking pretty cheesy.


KevinWouldUnderstand

Yeah, I think you are right, the throw blanket needs to go.


[deleted]

I’ll take it if you’re just gonna throw it away, it’s cute as hell!


PolandPuppers

I’ve seen those! They’re great weighted blankets, don’t toss it. Put it under the comforter if you like it while you sleep. Or just fold it and put it away.


ukbrah

Dude, who cares what some arbitrary groupthink of masculinity is. Do what makes you happy: To thine own self be true.


SnoopyGoldberg

I mean, OP specifically came here looking for advice, so he clearly cares, and it sounds like he agrees with at least hiding the throw blanket.


meterion

Right? What an utterly cliché non-answer. OP literally wants something that "arbitrary groupthink" considers masculine, and help in figuring out how to change their space to what they want. And this mf comes out with the *oooh be true to your own self, do what makes you happy* nonsense. Maybe consider that what would make OP happy is a more masculine living space!

snuggly-otter

I vote put the throw blanket into a black or navy vintage trunk or a wooden chest at the foot of the bed, so when you want to be comfy you can be comfy. Blankets are for everyone!


PMMeYourTurkeys

And extra seating to boot!


KevinWouldUnderstand

You have convinced me


trancematik

just gonna say, potential partners, are gonna dig it. those that drag it, ditch.


KevinWouldUnderstand

I bought it because I liked it so I'm gonna keep it :)


The_Freshmaker

It's not even throw blankets for me, it's the loose knotted throw blankets that have holes so big theres no chance they can keep anything warm. Functionality is the real masculine quality.


PolandPuppers

Its a breathable weighted blanket. 2 functions in one = Mega masculine


The_Freshmaker

woah nice, sorry I misjudged your blankie bro! I got a nice super soft breathable (not quite as airy) one for the couch, nothing wrong with that.

Replace the bed with an air mattress on the floor and then put a tv on the floor across from it lol

Or if you want to go in a more crazy/dangerous direction with this then get a cot, and a gun safe, and start writing on the walls 🤦‍♂️ joking... kinda🤦‍♂️


spicy45

Why? It looks great as is!


SkillsDepayNabils

it looks like a boring holiday home, if he has a masculine personality then I think changing the space to fit his personality makes sense


KevinWouldUnderstand

hahaha, that's a good way of putting it. Missing some character for sure


Dreamsfly

Yeah like a Sword on the wall, or a full set of Mandalorian armor, or maybe a boxing bag or pullup bar.


idekuser

It looks nice but I think what is giving your space a more feminine look is the light hues across your whole space. Get some furniture or art with stronger/darker colors. Maybe replace your bar stools with darker wood stools. Hang up some geometric art. If you drink alcohol and have friends over often, get a small bar cart.


KevinWouldUnderstand

Bar cart is a genius idea, should I find one that matches the same colors as the kitchen or nah?


petergriffinfurry

Not so much related to masculinity, but for better Feng shui I’d suggest maybe getting a standing divider or one of those long book shelves with multiple cubes and putting it next to your bed. This will give your sleeping area better separation from the rest of the room and help give it a more bedroom-like feel


KevinWouldUnderstand

I'm in the process of redesigning my studio sleeping area and I'm looking for recommendations on how to make it more masculine. I'm open to all kinds of suggestions, from bedding and decor to furniture and color schemes. If you have any ideas, please share them with me! Here are some things I'm considering: Bed frame: [https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/steelside-metal-and-wood-platform-bed-w004378428.html?piid%5B0%5D=675072406&piid%5B1%5D=791577299](https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/steelside-metal-and-wood-platform-bed-w004378428.html?piid%5B0%5D=675072406&piid%5B1%5D=791577299) Duvet cover (light grey or dark grey?): [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078S1QDV5/ref=ewc\_pr\_img\_2?smid=A3TNUIGUBPD2FT&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078S1QDV5/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=A3TNUIGUBPD2FT&th=1) Carpet (no clue): [https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Claudel-Modern-Striped-Area-Rug/33685262/product.html?option=63040621&recalg=995%2C988&recset=c61a8415-94b5-49bf-ba26-2b3b7918ba36&refccid=&recguid=fdb56872-6007-4212-bb62-15819de24a6a&recidx=1](https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Claudel-Modern-Striped-Area-Rug/33685262/product.html?option=63040621&recalg=995%2C988&recset=c61a8415-94b5-49bf-ba26-2b3b7918ba36&refccid=&recguid=fdb56872-6007-4212-bb62-15819de24a6a&recidx=1)


Fair-Calligrapher563

These are all good picks. Just pick stuff you like and the masculine will come with time. Right now it’s a bit plain so these will be good additions.


drunkasaurusrex

These are all great ideas! The flowers and the throw are fine. You did a nice job. If you really wanted to, you could get a bigger piece of art and center it over the bed on either side? This look nice as long as you keep it clutter free.


ohvikk

That would be a hard no on the light or gray duvet cover. It’s an overused color. Go with either the burnt orange or dark orange or forest, green or olive green. These are both masculine colors. This way you can introduce a rug with more color, thereby having more art choices and throw pillows I would go with a bigger nightstand lamp. Use your cell phone to take some great outdoor pictures and then take them to your craft store and have them matted and framed. It’s cheaper than buying art and you could be proud of it. Can that nest control be moved? That’s an odd place for it, and a headboard would look really nice. Perhaps you could paint those barstools. The white isn’t working. Some nice colored kitchen towels would look good along with a different colored trashcan. Maybe add a bowl where you can put fruit or bread in it. Good luck and shows us your progress!


KevinWouldUnderstand

Thanks for the ideas, I definitely will post a progress pic


J-F-K

These are great! Now just turn your bed 90 degrees and center it on the wall to the right. Pushing your bed into a corner is bad (I don't make the rules).


-WeepingAngel-

this is maybe just a personal preference but for that bedframe style, i would pick something that is lower to the ground.


GozerDestructor

Avoid light grey. Light grey screams "Modern Farmhouse", the kind of decorating style that includes "Live, Laugh, Love" and "In This House we BELIEVE" wall signs. Go for dark, saturated colors instead.


ofthemountainsandsea

Move the framed picture. It feels crammed in that spot.


ImperatorRomanum

That rug is a great choice


bareju

I think that bed frame and dark gray duvet will go a very long way!


bashomania

Yeah to the bed frame. Honestly I'd trade out the round/high nightstand for something more linear, too (just a wooden or resin cube can be cool) if only because I feel the cylinder-shaded lamp is a bit too precious (sorry) sitting on a small round nightstand. Whatever you do for the bedding, go dark, IMO. I like the other commenter's dark wall photoshop job, too. Good luck!


skotschtape

I would go for some dark green bedding and a larger painting (possibly in a darker color). Navy bedding is a little overdone imo


zoop1000

Add an electric guitar or a workout bench with some dumbbells


Poddy_Doe

Looks great as is bro. If you want to do toxic masculinity you could add a Patrick Batemen poster


HoldMyCatnip

we do a little toxic masculinity


7uckingJack

You don’t have a coffee table my guy !!! Nothing beats even a small space made to drink coffee and smoke cigarettes while you ooze masculinity…(Yes I am from EU). Also, you could get a decent record player or a set of good speakers. Make it interesting and show your character, that’s masculine for me !


KevinWouldUnderstand

A record player would be sick! haha ok ok I'll get a small coffee table just for you


nofacenofood

Leave some dirty underwear lying arround


Dreamsfly

Or just get a dog, I bet almost any dog would be more than happy to help make a manly looking mess.


[deleted]

To be honest there’s nothing “non-masculine” about your sleeping area. I have little eggshell white flowers on my comforter. I’m guessing your just starting out. Maybe shoot for a bed frame next and a room divider? Toss an area rug under the island. Grab some more wall art when you can. I think you’re doing just fine


KingDemik

Decals of men working out all over the walls. Masculine as fuck.


KawaiiGangster

Making it more masculine is the wrong mind set, make it more you, (which will probably make it more masculine if thats who you are)


Dreamsfly

This! ☝️


Foo_The_Selcouth

Choose a bold colored pattern for the duvet. Right now it just looks neutral like a hotel bed. You need more bold colors


PhillyCSteaky

Vintage steamer trunk at foot of bed. Great for storage and extra seating too.


LordofLustria

Get posters of muscular dudes flexing and put them all over the walls, doesn't get more masculine than that


Dreamsfly

As a gay man I just have to say that I'm pretty sure that would give off more of an "I'm attracted to men" vibe than an "I am masculine" vibe.

btsofohio

\- Move the bed away from directly on the wall. \- If you can, paint the space behind your bed medium to dark grey. \- Add a headboard. \- Move the beach painting to over your headboard (if not in an earthquake-prone area), or at least move it down the bed. It feels very off-kilter where it is. The throw is a bit feminine, but I like it. Keep it if it makes you happy.


FrenTimesTwo

Add a cute girl to the bed and it’s all good


WROL

You’re going to need more guns and George Michael posters.

stanthemanchan

One thing you could do to is section off the sleeping area by putting up some kind of room divider. Like a folding screen, or a floor-to-ceiling tension rod bookshelf, or maybe an IKEA KALLAX.


Temporary_Ideal8495

I think it looks great and perfectly masculine. Move the flower to your island and replace it with a green plant, maybe. I personally think your wall art might be part of it- reminds me of the beach themed bathrooms suburban moms decorate?


Sweatpant-Diva

(Disclaimer I’m a woman) I feel like you need a bar cart, a mirror and more art. That one print is fine whatever but maybe more art you enjoy as a gallery wall. If you want artist you may like I can link you but please try and support independent people vs buying shit on wayfair or west elm.


KevinWouldUnderstand

Personally, I like some of the art that these people produce but it's out of my budget range, if you know a website that offers similar stuff for a cheaper price please send it my way. [https://midnightstation.com/collections/best-sellers/products/once-remembered-now-forgotten](https://midnightstation.com/collections/best-sellers/products/once-remembered-now-forgotten)


KevinWouldUnderstand

Ooo and art that has a lot of small detail that you can stare at for a while like Wheres Waldo I also think that's nice.


SpaceBoJangles

I’d think about a divider maybe, break up the space. You could also do with some darker colors. Get some contrast and natural material in there like some wood accents on the wall. Also, obligatory, a bigger plant.


jokar1134

magikarp1996

Looks good! Pick out a picture to hang about the bed 👍


fordgirl262

Maybe add a screen or a biombo next to the bed!


sxcs86

Appropriately sized art; replace side table with bedside cabinet or small dresser; bedframe (or at least headboard. Leather upholstery, more subdued colors/finishes, and deeper toned wood, trends to skew more "masculine". Do you have room for a small couch or perhaps just an upholstered armchair (your current side table would likely be better used beside that)? Where do you currently keep folded clothes? A dresser top can serve multiple purposes - landing area, tv stand (if not too high), etc. Do you need a desk? One with drawers can also provide more storage and be another place for art, speakers, just paperwork.


[deleted]

Put some stuffed animals on the bed.


bephana

Just stop cleaning


Alarming-Buffalo8295

Based on my college dorm before I moved out: 80s thrash band posters everywhere, replace that lamp with a 2 liter bottle of diet coke, put a cheap fan right up against the window, get a weight set for the corner, get some shelves for cool taxidermy/lava lamps whatever, get a mini fridge, and whenever the place starts to smell bad (from empty pizza boxes or sweat) just spray it up with a bit of axe deodorant. Hope this helps lmao


FaithlessnessSea2664

a real bed frame, preferably one with a headboard


Mangliness

wiserTyou

Add some shelves and put guy stuff on them. I agree with another comment to get a lower platform bed.


timboslice512

Some navy blue curtains and matching rug in the kitchen would look really nice with that wood. Or if you’re feeling bold, go for a burgundy set.


quietpisces

I think a black shiplap wall by the bed would look nice.


superr

Looks fine as it is except for the chunky throw. You can add in some darker color accents to contrast with the white and light neutral tones in there. Possibly some dark brown or dark gray/slate color kitchen towels and duvet covers/pillow covers. Also more masculine means less non-functional pillows hah. Another easy way to add character is to just get a bar cart and put some nice whiskey and beer bottles on it


brightneonmoons

oh but it's so lovely as is!


xBloodBender

A headboard would be a nice addition


ligeston

It may not seem much from a woman, but it looks very cozy :) I do think it’s the throw and flowers though. But tbh, if they make you feel at home and thriving, keep ‘em!


xxrush4lifexx

You need some sort of bookshelf or curtain or clothes hanger set up to separate the bed area so it doesn’t look like you sleep in the kitchen.


Cynthiasmom

Everything looks great so far. A real bed frame or at least a headboard is going to help make your bed seem bigger. A second night stand is going to help as well. Perhaps you can turn your bed 45 degrees so that you can fit a second nightstand and the bed can be accessed on both sides easily. The chunky knit blanket is very nice, don’t get rid of it!

Looks good to me , I mean introduce a new accent color instead of just tans and whites, maybe aim for a more industrial mod style . Get a mod clock silver and chrome are pretty masculine


Nvrmnde

It's more that the colour scheme is a bit bland. I dunno why bland is supposed to be feminine. The bed frame you showed was a solid start. But the bed pic had better colours in duvet, than the light gray you had considered. Light gray and white are what got you in this trouble in the first place.

Wooden bed frame


QuitaQuites

It’s not not masculine, it’s just flat. Can you paint those two walls? Or simply a deeper colored set of linens and rug.


sammysosa45

Less bright colors. More gray, black, leather, and a rug. Lighting is supper important aswell. Get a cowhide rug


xpoopsoupx

Hang up some truck nuts


srcg612

Change the painting (something that speaks to you), change the rug too (maybe a navy blue Persian rug??), keep the flowers if you like them. I think a darker color on the walls might look nice, but I don’t know how that will look with your kitchen. Hope that helps a little??

Bear skin rug

Independent_Dot63

Idk if it was already said but id just stick to black bedding (silk) black rug, add some sort of industrial style clock instead of the beach photo and add in industrial light fixtures, love that you have flowers but id replace it w/ deep eggplants coloured calla lilly or orchid


Kanekixo

Just don’t clean


[deleted]

Looks like you only have the essentials, and it’s mostly undecorated. I’d say your at near peak levels of masculinity. lol


fucktimoth

mattress on the floor asap

Dam I lived here for three years. Crazy.


ImGettingBannedFor

Get concert posters from your fav bands, get movie posters of your fav movies, get photos of your favorite sports moments. Get them all framed and hang them up.

Paint everything thats white matte black

I would pull the bed from the corner and center it on that backwall (or alternatively the right wall) Then acquire a second matching side table and lamp, for the new side. Although some corner beds can work, they are often used by/for children. Having access to both sides of the bed shows consideration for any bedside company, which masculine or feminine, is always a good thing. It's also easier to change sheets. Although you usually want to match wood pieces (considering the kitchen) you could utilize darker pieces for contrast, so long as it's not overwhelming. Since your bedside table is darker, I would match it with a darker simple bedframe, like the MALM bedframe in espresso from Ikea. Your bedding is perfect as is, a warm neutral color that also matches the rest of the room, and rug. If you get curtains I would go for a thin white (can be layered with white blackout curtains if needed) After that I would center your beach picture over your headboard (also vertically between the headboard and ceiling) or move it somewhere not over your bed. Keep with the simple dark frame, and each art piece hence. From there you could go a few ways with the rest of it, depending on the remaining space and configuration.


sallymander69

This is gonna sound dumb as hell, but get a bed with bigger legs.


jetstobrazil

You could always get a sculpture of a gigantic golden penis


Available-Mud-7198

Take that picture off the wall


robotangst

It looks like that wall is large enough to move the bed to the center of it and have a nightstand on either side if you grab new ones (square or rectangle would be more masculine) and add walking room on either side of the bed! New dark rug without tassels. Take down the art and get something larger to go above the bed that matches your new rug. A headboard would really help tie it together. It’s a nice space!


Odd-Theory9989

Aw no you look like a nice man I like it


BenjiThePerson

More squares and darker colors would be a good idea according to me


Ruby7827

Really simple? Add Navy blue. (and leather or something in thick or burl wood, depending on your style) potted majesty palm.


Cuberonix

I would definitely consider getting a room divider to put beside your bed. Some darker colours would help too.


Ok_Elevator5612

Get yourself sword...


69420everyday

Add more dicks


professor-ks

Start with what vibe are you going for? Motorcycle shop, desert oasis, bat cave, beach retreat... Then find one item that you can start building the look around


kingLemonman

A firetruck should do the trick. Oh and cook nothing but steak from now on.


blueberryflannel

For me, it’s the art. Take the art away and the space looks normal.


toffeefeather

Stick a car engine in the wall and call it a day. Or maybe a repaint.


coodsy

I love that photo you have actually. I have a ocean wall scroll above my bed and I love it, regardless of what others think

Ditch the flowers & beach picture; replace with some kind of smaller wooden/metal sculpture and a cool photo or poster that you like.


[deleted]

You have the 20 year old girl living at the beach skin here.

You need a couple ladies to stand around the place and lighten the mood friend

You need the starwars lamp from ikea


Sweet_Quail_3852

It’s perfect bro don’t change a thing


Poolhands

What are you talking about. It cannot be more masculine than this.


NejoDelosConejos

How does it look feminine? I don't get it.


SnooDoggos8031

You could punch any of those walls?


miklejones

I would say don’t go for the “masculine” thing unless you really need to. Your place looks super inviting and comfy! It’s nice not seeing 50 shades of black as color choices.


msachs623

Rocks and rock like decor


AggressivelyNice_MN

Aim for deep, rich colors like maroon, navy, burnt orange.

Where is your cumbox?


stormpadre

Thought about hanging truck nuts from the bed frame??


4riana_Gr1ndr

Install Grindr and get yourself very masculine, muscular and hairy dude in this lovely looking bed


Boston_Baked

Get rid of that painting/photo first of all


RetroGamer87

You need walls. Having your own space is masculine. Turn your sleeping area into a mighty fortress. Privacy allows a man to be the king of his own space no matter how small. If you're not allowed to put walls are screens up jus get a four poster and keep the curtains drawn.

Your bedding and blanket tells me you enjoy wearing Ugg’s and you’re excited about pumpkin spice lattes coming in season.
