Cool Rustic Men’s Bedroom Ideas

There are numerous ways to make a man’s bedroom stylish and comfortable. Here are a few men’s bedroom decor ideas to get started.

The rustic man is a loner yet self-sufficient. He is confident and quiet. He is often a gentle giant who enjoys the great outdoors. These rustic bedroom ideas are for those men.

1. Lots of Wood

Wood is perfect for the rustic man’s bedroom.

The more wood, the better! However, you don’t need real wood to get the effect because peel-and-stick wallpaper will do the same thing.

2. Edison Bulbs

Hang a string of Edison Bulbs along the wall to give the bedroom a calm, rustic feel.

This will also take care of your lighting needs. You can make it better by ensuring the lights have an easy-to-reach switch or using a smart plug.

3. Add Plants

Green plants are the perfect accent to the rustic man’s bedroom. They add a touch of nature and bring a sense of calmness to the room. They’re also great for breaking up a room that has too much wood.

If you can’t take care of them, get some plastic plants instead of real ones.

4. Vintage Side Tables

Place vintage wooden side tables beside the bed for a decidedly rustic feel. The key is to find wooden tables from before the 20th century.

Stained wood works best. Make sure the wood is a different color than the walls and floors, so they stand out.

5. Sliding Barn Door

It’s a safe bet that nobody else you know will have a real sliding barn door in their bedroom.

This is the ultimate bedroom flex and screams “rustic.” Just make sure you know how to install it properly.

6. Antlers

Add a set of antlers to go along with your wooden walls and barn door. Lots of animals have antlers: deer, moose, mountain goats, etc.

Stay away from mounting entire animal skulls on your wall, as it detracts from the calm vibe of the rustic bedroom.

7. Hang Wooden Shelves

Wooden wall shelves are a great addition to the rustic bedroom.

The more raw the wood, the better it looks. It’s best if the shelves match the wall color, but it’s no big deal if they don’t.

8. Storm Lantern

Every rustic bedroom needs at least one genuine storm lantern.

A storm lantern brings an air of vintage ruggedness to a room, no matter if it hangs on the wall or you place it on your wooden wall shelf.

9. Floor Décor

Add a few knick-knacks to the floor to help bring out the rustic vibe of your bedroom.

Things such as a guitar, plants, and old books do the job. Remember to keep everything along the walls so you’re not tripping over them in the dark.

10. Plaid Curtains

Every rustic bedroom needs a touch of plaid. Curtains are the perfect location to add it. They look even better if you can find real lumberjack flannel to fashion into curtains.

Just make sure they’re dark enough to block light.

11. Plaid Blanket

The best rustic men’s bedroom ideas include plaid. You’ve already got the plaid curtains, so now add a touch of plaid to your bed.

A soft flannel blanket will keep you warm and look great. Make sure it’s not the same color as your plaid curtains, or your room will feel too cluttered.

Modern Men’s Bedroom Ideas

The modern man is sophisticated yet minimalist.

He enjoys subdued styles and décor that gets straight to the point. Most of all, his bedroom is utilitarian yet peaceful.

You should stick with simple rectangular bed frames if you’re a modern man.

These are low to the ground. You only need a comfortable mattress to go on top.

2. Keep It Dark

A modern man’s bedroom should have bare floors, whether that means hardwood or tile.

But you’ll need to break that up with a minimalist rug. Make sure the rug matches the overall color of your room, which is black.

10. Charging Stand

If you’re a modern man, then chances are good that you keep your smartphone with you at all times. You can help it double as a bedside clock while juicing up for the day ahead with a charging stand.

These stands will keep your phone upright, so you can easily access the screen. That’s perfect for hitting snooze on the alarm.

11. Coordinated Bedding

Your bedding should be dark. You should also coordinate it so that the colors align with each other and the surrounding room.

Aim for multiple pillows with different-colored pillowcases.

Busy Men’s Bedroom Ideas

Most men lead incredibly busy lives. Guys put in long hours at work and enjoy multiple hobbies, and that’s on top of fitness and socializing.

This is why it’s a lot easier to go for a simple, low-maintenance bedroom. Here are some men’s bedroom ideas for busy guys.

1. Japanese Style Futon

There’s nothing simpler than Japanese-style sleep systems. They consist of a substantial Japanese futon mattress on top of a thick tatami mat on a raised wooden platform.

The futon is comfortable and incredibly easy to set up and maintain. Perfect for the busy man.

2. Hanging Lights

Hanging lights are easier to deal with than table lamps. That’s because you don’t have to worry about knocking them over or fretting about where to place them.

Hang a lamp or two from the ceiling and forget about them.

3. Blank Art

Busy guys don’t have time to paint. That’s why you should hang a blank canvas on your brick wall.

It stands out and makes the colors “pop” while adding a touch of sophistication to your room. Plus, you don’t have to fret about which painting to buy.

4. Four Pillows

No man needs dozens of pillows of different shapes and sizes on their bed.

The busy man needs only four pillows: two for himself and two for any potential companion who might be joining him. Anything else is superfluous.

5. Brick Walls

Brick adds a sense of solid dependability to a bedroom. It’s also low-maintenance and doesn’t require any art or accents.

Use peel-and-stick wallpaper if you can’t get a real brick wall.

6. Laundry Basket

Get a big and stylish laundry basket and put it at the end of your bed. This placement is a guaranteed way to stop your clothes from ending up all over your room.

Just make sure to, you know, wash your laundry now and again.

7. Window Blinds

Window blinds work better than curtains for busy men.

You can brighten or darken your bedroom with the pull of a single bar or cord. Plus, you don’t need to fret about colors or patterns.

8. Use Bed Throws

Bed throws are much easier to take care of than full comforter sets because they look great when they get tossed onto the bed.

They’re also lighter and easier to wash than comforters. Add a couple of throws to your bed so you can double up on chilly nights.

9. Add a Chair

Believe it or not, you can be more productive by adding a chair to your bedroom. This will give you a place to sit and read or finish up last-minute work before hitting the hay.

Then you can get down to the business of sleep the moment you hop in bed instead of being distracted by your phone.

10. Open Wardrobe

Don’t waste time choosing an outfit. Instead, grab something with a glance by using an open wardrobe.

Forget doors. You can make quick fashion decisions when you can see all your clothes in one place.

Consider getting yourself a bedside table that is simple and easy to maintain. It’s better to have fewer shelves and drawers.

None is perfect. The only thing you need is a surface to hold your phone and wallet.

12. Ladder Shelf

These are shelves that look like ladders, and they’re great for storing books, plants, and knick-knacks. Best of all, they’re maintenance-free.
