The general colour palette in these spaces are earthy browns, gorgeous greys or inky blues, but there are softer shades featured too for a more neutral-looking bedroom.
Bedroom lighting is mostly modern, simple and clean, either in the form of cool wall lights or practical reading spotlights. Hanging pendants on either side of the bed make a stylish alternative to wall lights, and are mostly kept small and simple in terms of design.

As for texture, these masculine bedroom ideas feature texture by the bucket-load. We love the leather detailing – like equestrian-inspired leather straps on headboards and soft furnishings – and the contrast of woods, concrete and metal.
The metal bed from Timothy Oulton is seriously cool. The bespoke wood beds are inspiring too, featuring built-in bedside drawers.

A draped cloth over a hanging rod above the bed is a more minimalist approach to a headboard, and we love the idea below of using a cane screen too. A hanging rug or tapestry would also do the trick.
Grasscloth wallpapers, and framed black and white photography create a more elegant look, while the raw concrete walls in one of the bedrooms below create an edgy, industrial vibe.
