Navy, Brass & Orange
This scheme is bold and striking, built around a deep navy backdrop with brass accents that command attention. The chestnut leather sofa anchors the room in timeless masculinity, while a burnt orange chair adds a modern edge. With layered artwork, sc...
This moodboard incorporates a hague navy blue which is less saturated than other styles, along with leather and burnt orange accents. Perfect for modern masculine spaces that feel cosy and ‘cool’.
Navy, Brass & Orange Moodboard
A chesterfield sofa is a masculine design classic.
Freddie 95'' W Leather Sofa
This bookshelf incorporates modern curves, whilst the black metal feels decidedly industrial.
Alana Black Bookshelf
A medium toned flooring style suits these colour schemes best - leaning not too orange and not too grey.
Keswick Medium Oak 12mm Laminate Flooring - 1.48m2
I prefer a grey based navy to avoid looking too childish - these are often better to colour match with other elements as well.
2AM
A beautiful, luxury navy blue rug. The pattern keeps things stylish and modern.
Xusiso
This swivel chair is a gorgeous accent piece to bring depth to the room.
Amaia Mustard Swivel Chair
If a true orange is too much for your space, a tan leather accent like this bean bag is a fun addition.

Keeping styling metal based, these nesting coffee tables match beautifully with the book case and the overall vibe of the room.

Grey & Muted Blue
Understated yet striking, this scheme layers moody grey walls with a muted blue sectional sofa for a refined, masculine look. The deep tones create a cocooning atmosphere, while the soft blue adds calmness and balance. A dark wood console and coffee ...
This colour scheme leans ‘sophisticated’ whilst still modern in it's unexpectedness. Works really well for those who prefer a more ‘luxe’ look.
Grey & Muted Blue Moodboard
I adore this set of prints from Laura Naples, the watercolour and muted colourscape work incredibly well with the vibe of the space.
"Linna I" by Laura Naples – Design Within Reach
A masculine, abstract art piece masquerading as a floor lamp! A true statement piece.
Serge Mouille Three Arm Floor Lamp – Design Within Reach
Another beauty from Laura Naples
"Lympia" by Laura Naples – Design Within Reach
The art piece used in the render - leans more heavily ‘blue’ and ‘grey’ - honestly I would get the whole set.
"Linna II" by Laura Naples – Design Within Reach
This is beautiful for those who want more subdued art pieces in their space. Wonderfully abstract, heavily masculine.
"Grey Arch at Night in Red Light I" by Aschely Vaughan Cone – Design Within Reach
"Larenn" by Laura Naples – Design Within Reach
A dark, moody rug in keeping with the deep grey walls.
Jotham
This herringbone style works really well with the more traditional vibe of this masculine room, but remains saturated enough to avoid looking flat.
Olney Light Oak Herringbone 8mm Laminate Flooring - 0.87m2
A statement wallpaper, which I have used as a feature wall but could be used for an entire room for those with larger spaces / looking to make more of an impact.
Worn out rusted metal texture,Dark grunge background,Abstract wall background,Concrete wallpaper,Industrial Iron Rustic Pattern,Vintage Wall
This smoked glass chandelier is truly stunning - super luxe in keeping with the design.
Parvaiz Chandelier
This burnt oak style coffee table with splayed legs works beautifully with the rust effect wallpaper in the space - both add a touch of grunge to the space, stopping it from leaning too ‘sophisticated’ or stuffy.
Sadira Round Coffee Table by Amber Lewis x Four Hands
This muted blue is one of my favourite colours to play with, and works beautifully when you want to add a pop of colour to an otherwise monochrome space.
Kora Tufted Performance Woven Modular Corner Chair
This walnut console table is both traditional in its material but the leg shape and fluting add a modern twist that works really well.
Fletcher Console Table
Love this medium grey from Lick.

Green & Red
Earthy yet sophisticated, this palette pairs a deep olive green sofa with rust-red accents for a grounded, masculine look. The warm tones are balanced with wood textures and natural cane, creating a space that feels both retro-inspired and timeless. ...
This is one of the biggest colour combinations of this era - nodding to both mid-century modern and traditional designs. You can have so much fun with this design and will find plenty of stand out pieces to match.
Green & Red Moodboard
A beautiful beige and red painting that works well in this kind of design.
Untitled (UNAM I), Mexico City, 2024 – Design Within Reach
I love this sofa - the shape is super masculine whilst not being overdone.
Emmit Two Seat Upholstered Sofa
I will never miss the chance to use a red persian rug! A classic for a reason and works beautifully in this colour scheme.
Zinnia
Love the fluted effect on this dresser - it adds textural interest without overwhelming the design
The Isla Fluted-Wood Six-Drawer Dresser
I'm obsessed with this armchair and am likely to keep using it across designs, the rattan element adds additional interest to the space, along with the oversized back. Definitely a conversation starter.
Wingman Lounge Chair
A gorgeous lamp in a classic mid-century modern design - the colour works particularly well in this space.
Fenwick Table Lamp
The curved, fluted legs of this coffee table add a touch of modernity and sculptural interest, in keeping with the vibe of this space.

A stunning sage green from Coat paints.
Darlington
A black metal chandelier which is both modern and masculine - perfect for this space.
Senta Chandelier
Stripey wallpaper for a feature wall, or even worth adding a wide strip down the middle of your chosen wall. The shade of red works beautifully with olive green backgrounds, and stripes are making a huge comeback in general!
Painterly Stripe Wallpaper by Sarah Sherman Samuel
A lovely neutral art piece that incorporates the stripes that make a running theme in this space via the fluting and wallpaper.
Deimos Diptych Wall Art (Set of 2) by Visual Contrast
Love a bit of smoked mirror! This time in green - the shape and design add a playfulness to the space and work both as a functional piece of furniture and an intriguing piece of decor!
Manor Glass Side Table
The final render!
Green & Red Render
Taupe, Walnut & Red
A modern classic palette that blends taupe walls with walnut wood and a deep red sofa for depth and strength. A sculptural marble coffee table and geometric artwork make a strong design statement, while layered textures — from the patterned rug to ta...
This is an incredibly modern, in style colour scheme and works wonderfully for more masculine spaces.
Taupe, Walnut & Red Moodboard
This wooden mosaic style end table from Birch lane is both interesting and functional - the top comes off to reveal hidden storage - great for storing blankets and throws, or even remotes!
Birch Lane™ Juliana End Table & Reviews | Birch Lane
This modular sofa is absolutely gorgeous - both in terms of the colour and shape. You'll see similar designs in a ton of interior design inspo across social media at the moment.
Riley Modular Sofa
A gorgeous, minimalist chandelier from Lumens adds to the space without making it ‘busy’
Baum Chandelier by Four Hands at Lumens.com
A stunning, retro style rug with a tile effect - the colours work particularly well in this room as well.
Triplo Strato
We've gone for a darker, more grey toned wood here to offset against the red and brown tones of the accents and the taupe of the walls. This helps to create depth and keep things from looking flat.
Acacia Brown Oak 10mm Laminate Flooring - 1.73m2
One of my favourite wall colours at the moment - we have this in our guest room!
Cold Brew
Love this Wabi Sabi print - the grasscloth effect makes it a standout piece of art for most spaces - love the colours used as well.

I'm a huge fan of red marble anything - but it works particularly well for coffee tables. Perfect for elevating a room with this nod to luxury.
Mariano Coffee Table
This floor lamp gives me real Soho Home vibes - a statement piece that would look incredible in most rooms, but particularly works against a masculine taupe and red colour scheme.
Phaedra Floor Lamp
Another piece of art that also works as lighting - small but mighty!
Gio Table Lamp by SIN
Grasscloth elements work particularly well in this design style / colour scheme - use as a feature wall or all over with a taupe painted ceiling!

White & Black
Clean, graphic, and unapologetic — this scheme is all about high-contrast impact. The black sofa and furniture set a strong foundation, while crisp white walls and a modern armchair keep the space sharp and balanced. A gallery wall of bold artwork in...
More of an urban style of masculine living room, a monochrome colour scheme with small pops of colour via the art.
White & Black Moodboard
A more grey toned flooring goes best in this type of colour scheme.
Galloway Brown Oak 8mm Laminate Flooring - 2.22m2
Love these abstract pieces from the wall art club.

A pop of red here works well.

This modern shaped plant pot is huge - great for massive plants to inject some more colour and depth into a monochrome space.
Hourglass Plant Pot | Large | Black | by Ferm Living
Love this minimalist cream and black rug - very modern, very masculine.
Levor
This Armin Hofmann poster works brilliantly in a monochrome space - particularly with its pops of orange typography.
Armin Hofmann Poster – Design Within Reach
Another one that works in a more gritty, urban design- the pop of red and the highly recognisable branding are great for statement art pieces.
By Khai F*ck It 30x40 Wall Art Print
On a similar vein, a highly recognisable meme works beautifully too.
Obinsun Disaster Cat 30x40 Wall Art Print
This modern chandelier screams masculine!

A round coffee table keeps with the soft curves and modern vibe of the space - this also contains plenty of storage for books, magazines or games.
Millwood Pines Mid Century Modern Round Coffee Table With Storage & Reviews | Wayfair
A beautiful, large black sofa. The squareness of this piece of furniture offsets the curves of the rest, creating harmony in the space so it doesn't feel too overdone one way or the other.

Charcoal & Cream
Moody yet balanced, this palette pairs charcoal walls with a crisp cream sofa for a look that feels both dramatic and inviting. The black marble coffee table and sculptural lighting bring a touch of modern edge, while natural textures like woven cane...
Similar to the black and white scheme, this is modern and masculine but slightly more moody/cosy.
Charcoal & Cream Mood Board
A beautiful floor lamp in a very modern design - this style definitely leans masculine and works particularly well in more modern spaces.
AJ Floor Lamp – Design Within Reach
A large, comfy sofa that has the added benefit of being easy to clean! A must for lighter sofas.
Luna 90'' Slipcovered Sofa
Another gorgeous chandelier from Lumens - with globe effect lights. Super modern design - definitely a centre piece.
Amara LED Chandelier by Kuzco Lighting at Lumens.com
Love this cane paneling bookcase - adds interest to otherwise blank walls.
