1. Traditional
For this design, choose heavy furniture that has a sense of age to it, in fine dark woods like walnut and mahogany. While it may have carving and detail, avoid the curvy elements of French, Tuscan, or Queen Anne design, in favor of straighter lines. Select a bed with a high headboard for stature, but a low footboard, since most men don't care for the feeling of being confined. For the bedding, use what's typically referred to as "menswear" fabrics: houndstooth, plaid, paisley, wool, and flannel. At the windows, go with a heavy drape, like velvet or chenille. If there is seating in the room, a rich leather with nailhead trim is ideal. The colors should be deep and subdued, like olive, burgundy, brown, dark gold, or navy - think of the colors that evoke that "library" feel. Keep the lighting warm and muted by using metal or deep colored lamp shades, which will cast inviting pools of light. Artwork should be classic, possibly including landscapes, portraits, or still lifes. Finish the space with a plush oriental rug.
2. Rustic
3. Metro
The metro room design is clean, modern, and sleek. Here, you'll want low profile furniture with strong horizontal lines, absolutely ZERO ornamentation, and a dark color, like espresso or black. Platform beds are a great choice for this design. The color scheme should be very sharp and graphic: black, gray, and white. For the bedding, keep it simple. All white is easy, and perfect for the style - think five-star hotel. Window treatments should be uncomplicated and minimal, like designer screen shades or grommet-top drapery panels. For seating, leather is still the answer, but this time in a slick black or white, with fine lines, square arms, and straight legs. When it comes to lighting, here's your opportunity to add some shine. Go with glossy materials like glass or porcelain, or bright metals like nickel or chrome. Take a walk on the wild side with bold abstract art pieces, and anchor the space with a thick shag or flokati rug for the floor.
