Your foyer is your room for greeting guests as well as the first room you see when you enter your home and I can't think of a nicer way to enjoy it then to accessorize it with a plain and unfrilled masculine design theme.
No matter how bad your decorating skills are, you can get a masculine design in your foyer with a few little differences, like stencilling and coordinating your wall art and vase with flowers to add a little bit of masculinity. Some items to pay attention to when comeing up with a new design include lighting fixtures, flooring, wall color and decorative accessories along with your desk and chair.
It's not critical to buy coordinating desk, chair, and hall table but the foyer should maintain lots of solid, straight lined furnishings. To really pick up on the masculine style, go for items that have a dark stain.
Accessories are key to pulling your masculine design theme together. You can drastically alter the look of your room merely by replacing the accessories! Concentrate on selecting wall art, vase with flowers and knick knacks, in in colors that compliment your masculine design. It's amazing the difference a few changes can make! Make sure to add in lots of simple unadorned accessories as well as photos in plain frames and you may even try some taxidermy to really give a great look to your foyer. Additional touches such as plants to soften the look can give you a professional look like it should be in a magazine.
Lighting is vital in most rooms and the foyer is no exception. To compliment your masculine look, you will have to consider light fixtures in terms of both style and type. If you will be going for a masculine design, you may want to consider using recessed lighting with lamps or plain wall sconces but you should stay away from anything that is frilly crystal chandeliers and lamps. A good number of foyers can benefit from overhead lighting as well as wall sconces.
The floor covering can really pull the whole look together, but if it's too much work to put new floors in your foyer then work with your floors by covering them with area rugs that have a masculine style. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford new floors, try using hardwood or tile.
What you put on your windows can make or break your masculine look. To see a nice design in your foyer look at using plain drapes or wooden blinds. There are many treatments that can be paired with this design theme, particularly if you match fabrics to your window treatments, but you probably want to avoid ruffled valances or curtains.
One big change to keep in mind when decorating your foyer with a masculine Interior Design is your wall coverings. For this look the room colors make a big difference - take a look at using earthtones and neutrals blacks and whites either in your wall color or your accessories. Try using a solid color paint on the walls, or you might consider a solid wallpaper with interest such as a seude or leather. You don't need to go all out and if you are afraid of too much color, simply cover the walls in a neutral paint and let the accents in the room do the decorating.
One vital area that is many times ignored when decorating your house are your walls. You can make even the plainest walls look terrific by using decorative wall art and accessories. Try adding modern art paintings or posters in frames to your foyer walls to highlight the manliness of your masculine look.
Attaining a perfect masculine look in your foyer can be as minor as just buying new decorative accessories or as involved as replacing everything. Either way, paying attention to detail and coordinating your decorative accessories and furniture will help you coordinate a successful new masculine look that you will be proud to claim you did on your own!
