what kind of wall decor is suitable for a 32 year old conservative, straight, single, christian man's bedroom?

Austin P

I'm getting a new place and I would like advice about what is appropriate wall decor and furniture choice and style for my new place. I'm 32 years old and I am single, conservative, straight and a christian. My goal is to express myself and still and most importantly honor God in my choices. I would like some advice, and I politely ask, please do not include any off-color or vulgarity in your response. Thank you for your genuine help in response to my question.

Answer
Since you want to express yourself think about what you like. You will probably want a neutral color for the walls as that is more relaxing for a bedroom. Do you have a favorite artist or style of painting? There are a lot of good reproductions that are inexpensive. If you have an interest in sports or a hobby you can incorporate that into your decorating.

It might be a good idea to go to a large furniture store and just look around to see what you like. Some decorators say you can look through magazines like Better Homes and Gardens and cut out pictures of rooms that appeal to you. By looking at the pictures you can then see the style that you like.

The important thing is to pick things that you really like. Take your time and enjoy the process.

Red Black and White is a great color scheme for a bedroom. If you would like to add a splash of exotic color to your walls, or if you would like some really awesome black and white abstract prints; there is a man on Maui who has taken some really awesome photos he is offering for sale. These photos can be printed and framed to match your chosen decor. Check out what is being offered and buy early for the holidays.

Any bedroom decor ideas?

Steph

I am trying to decide on a style for my bedroom. I have a husband so it can't be too girlie for his sake (no Shabby chic). I have narrowed it down to a few: French Country, Caribbean/Tropical or Japanese.What do you guys think? Any ideas are welcome.

Answer
I would pick Country French for a few reasons. One, no matter what direction you pick later your CF pieces will most likely work.

Two, this classic and warm style is easy to put together on a budget and is equally appealing to men and women. There are so excellent catalogs to look at for CF--try Ballards, Provence and even Target has Toile accessories to complete your picture.

The other advantage is slightly "distressed" pieces from unlikely sources can easily work, so the style is a budget friendly one.

Japanese is trendy but could be over soon. Also, unless you love to live minimally that style is super hard to maintain as clean uncluttered lines are at the heart of it.

Tropical is a little too weekend at Disney after a while, although short term it could be fun.

CF will be a long term look you can add to down the road, mix up, change up and live with. Good luck with your project--and don't forget to ask your husband's opinion once and a while (even if you end up not listening).

my bedroom is plain and boring?

im recently single in a new place with roommates all i have in my room is a big flat screen tv a cali king bed and a cheepo night stand i picked up at a 2nd hand store im 28 and looking for any ideas

Answer
What is important to you? This bedroom is your private space, and it should reflect who you are. Men tend to be very minimalist and conservative in their decor, which is fine. But a large picture on one wall can add lots of interest to the room. You can find these at import stores as well as hobby stores. Or, you could make a grouping of smaller pictures with a common theme. This is especially good if you take your own photographs, because the group can be a point of conversation. Keep the photos together though, because this gives them importance.

Sounds like you need furnitureâ a dresser, or chest of drawers at least. It does not matter if the styles do not match. You can make them work together by choosing a common colorâ all light or all dark wood. A common color can also make disparate fabrics work together. An upholstered chair with the same coloring as the bedding and curtains, even if one fabric is a print while the other fabric is solid, plaid or striped. The different pattern will give interest to the room. Basically, design is about giving the eye places to focus on briefly while providing an overall continuity.

Make my boyfriend understand that the guest bathroom should not be cluttered with crap?

bedroom decor for men image

Melissa

So we are moving to a new house with a large bathroom in the master bedroom and a smaller one on the main level in the hall. The one downstairs is of course them one everyone will use and see. He is dead set on having his own bathroom. It has a predation sink and a small corner shelf with no door. To me, that's for decor. I feel the main bathroom should appear unused and look nice. I suggested we hang a cabinet to hide his daily essentials. It's literally turned into a fight. He feels deodorant, face lotion, a razor and toothbrush in the open is fine. I disagree and he's refusing to compromise. So frustrated. May sound childish and insignificant but I'm looking for a way to make him realize it's about looking presentable. Help?!

Answer
Give up this fight. There are some things that are worth fighting about in a relationship, and some which are not. Let him have his own bathroom and keep the OTHER one looking nice. If guests come, direct them to the clean, decorated, uncluttered bathroom and leave his alone. In fact, you could hang a sign on the door of his bathroom that says "MEN ONLY". Because I guarantee you that not a single one of his friends will care if they see his personal stuff out like that. This war is not worth waging over a few personal items--and the lack of nagging and "rules" will make your relationship a lot less stressful.

OR--you could stick a small basket in that bathroom for those items--that way they aren't in a closed cabinet, he can still get to them, and all anyone wlll notice is the basket--not the stuff in it. But only put it in there when you actually have guests--and tell him it's just temporary so your guests don't mess up his personal stuff; then when the guests leave, take it out and put his stuff back.

You could also let him know that every time you flush a toilet, the water droplets from the flush get ALL OVER the toothbrush. So at least ask him if he would like you to get him a covered container for that item. Your toothbrush should be at least 5 feet away from any toilet. That goes for BOTH bathrooms. Knowing that might gross him out enough to at least keep that item out of sight and out of germs' way.

What is a good way to tell my neighbour?

blah

That her decor in her bedroom sucks, without letting her know I have been in her house, bearing in mind *she* has never invited me in. I would tell her hubby, but men dont get these things, you know.

Answer
Leave something behind, maybe your panties, then invite yourself in to retrieve them. Then maybe mention it to her!
