When you first start out, decor in general can be too much to handle. You will feel like your style is starting to come together once you have bought bigger pieces of furniture like a bed, sofa, and tables. However, if all the walls are empty, it can still feel a bit unfinished. Now there is wall art and jewelry, but it can be hard to choose what will look good with your style. And when it comes to men’s wall decor ideas in particular, Pinterest has a lot of ideas, but men’s decor only seems to make up a small part of the site.
Not being able to find the right mens wall art for your bedroom or the whole house can be stressful. Men’s room decor ideas are terribly underrepresented online. I didn’t want to stop you from enjoying the fun of decorating your own space, so I put together a list of my favorite men’s wall decor ideas and examples. Here are some of the best types of men’s wall decor that will look great in a “masculine” or simple home. This is for a manly, simple style ,think of a high-class hotel in the city. If you want a more country cabin feel, my next post will be all about that, so keep an eye out.
Mens wall decor – abstract art
I love black and white abstract art for men’s wall decor a lot. Why? Because it’s hard to find wall art for guys that you like, and black and white goes with every color scheme. Any other art or type of decorating goes well with it, and it looks great in a masculine, simple room. Large abstract art pieces can really dress up a room and make it look full and classy. When you choose art, you should think about how big the piece is.
When it comes to bare walls, wall art should take up between 60% and 75% of the space on the wall that isn’t taken up by furniture or borders. If you are putting the art above a bed or sofa, for example, it should be 60 to 75% of the length of the furniture. First, find out how big your wall or piece of furniture is. Then, multiply that number by 0.6 or 0.75, and make sure the painting sizes you choose are within that range. This works well when adding more than one piece of art or even a museum wall.
Wood panelling
Wood paneling can make a room look so put together that you don’t even need to add any other wall art. “Wood slat” paneling is the best type of paneling for masculine decor because it keeps the style current and simple while adding interest and mystery. In addition, you won’t have to spend hours trying to figure out what art will go with the wood paneling because it looks great on its own.
Wood slat paneling is one of the easiest men’s room decor ideas to do yourself because you don’t have to measure or cut the wood very much, especially if you buy it already cut to size. Some of them are very pricey, though, so make sure you look at all of your choices before you buy. If you want to save money, you can also buy cheaper wood and paint it to get the look you want.
Minimalist sconce lighting
It can be hard to find the right art and wall furniture for men on your own. If you don’t like art, sconce lighting is another easy way to make your walls look better. As far as men’s wall art goes, I love stick sconce lighting (or Nordic sconce lighting, depending on where you shop). As an art piece and an extra bit of low lighting, I think they’re beautiful show pieces. I’m really in love with some of these patterns. They would look great on a blank wall by themselves.
Mens wall decor – urban art
Make sure that the art you choose fits with who you are. These are some great graffiti-style paintings and sculptures that look great in a modern, manly home. They are great if you live in a city, come from a city background, or like urban pop culture. You could get a Banksy picture if that’s what you want, but you can also find a lot of original gritty, graffiti, or urban style art online.
Adding some black-and-white urban art can look good if your walls are white and your furniture is black, metal, and gray. Monochrome colors work especially well with this. If your walls are dark gray or black and your furniture is dark, you should use lighter colors in your graffiti. If you have colored neon lights in your room, this style looks even better (this is probably more true for younger guys), which is a nod to pop culture and graffiti in general.
Mens wall decor – 3D art
There are some great metal pieces on Etsy that would make great 3D art for men’s wall decor. If you’re really into art, you could even try making them yourself. Plus, metal 3D art doesn’t usually go badly with other things, which is something you should think about for any wall art.
Mens wall decor – black & white photography
You should hang up any photos that you like, whether they are of people you care about or pictures you took yourself that you’re really proud of. Don’t be afraid to add your own style to the way you decorate. For example, black-and-white pictures in big black frames can look beautiful in any room.If you have a favorite place to go or a place you like to take vacation, get a big picture of it in a big black frame and put it somewhere in the middle of the room. You can even make a gallery wall if you have a lot of favorite spots. You can put your photos in any room you want, but my favorite type of men’s wall art is black and white landscape pictures or photos of things.
Shelves & Sculptures
If your walls are empty, a shelf can be a great way to decorate them. You can try out different things with sculptures, plants, books, and picture frames that stand alone. I would choose wooden shelves in an industrial style, like the ones shown above, for a modern, manly look in my home. If you want to add a touch of luxury, shiny pipe-style shelves like the one below in brass or antique gold can do the trick. They look great with plants or glasses on top of them, or they can look great on their own.When looking for sculptures, try to find ones that are meaningful to you. This could be a sculpture of a character from your favorite TV show, something from your family history, or something related to one of your hobbies. If you look around, you can find great one-of-a-kind pieces that really reflect your style, personality, and history.
Mirrors
You wouldn’t believe it, but mirrors aren’t just for the bathroom or to check your outfit before you leave the house. Mirrors have been used by interior designers for a long time to make places look bigger and better put together. Now it’s your turn to use this trick. I really like big mirrors that go above a couch or a cabinet. I like asymmetrical round mirrors, but any industrial style will look great in a minimalist manly room.If your walls are empty (no furniture), a floor-to-ceiling window mirror in an industrial style will make a big statement. You can get some great ones at Ikea for a low price, and there are lots of ways to “hack” industrial-style mirrors for almost nothing.
Mens wall decor – Gamer art
To go over this one more time, your mens wall art should reflect who you are. Also, you want your guests to know a bit about you, not just that you’re a classy guy. If that’s all you want them to know, abstract art and lights are fine. In 2020, there were 2.6 billion gamers in the world, and that number is only going to go up. Artists and furniture designers are starting to notice. Men’s wall art with game themes is becoming more popular. You can find it in both small shops and big places. So if you’re a gamer, show it off through your art. Wall art with video game themes are easy to find. If you’ve thrown up your shelves and are a fan of Star Wars, Lego has a great set of models that you can put together yourself. You can enjoy your hobby and make something beautiful by yourself at the same time. It’s a win-win situation.
Mens wall decor – Vintage posters
To add some flavor to your men’s wall art once more, why not get some old-fashioned posters of your favorite movies? No matter what color scheme you have in your home, I would choose pictures in neutral colors like the two above, but it’s up to you! You could hang these movie-themed pictures in your man’s bedroom or living room. They look great open or in a frame.
