FASHIONABLE SPACES INSPIRED BY MENSWEAR
The idea of a man's place needing a woman's touch is soon to be an antiquated expression. Whether an individual is male or female has nothing to do with their innate ability to decorate a space. Interior decoration has everything to do with one having inspiration and direction.
Inspiration is everywhere we look; and at times, having too many options is intimidating for anyone. This article provides design direction and helps to narrow the focus by looking toward the wardrobe for cues. When discovering your personal style, anything goes in interior design just as in fashion. Your home's decor is an expression of you and is subject to your personal taste which never is wrong. Your favorite suits, blazers, trousers and accessories provide ideas for color palettes and materials to use in creating a home for a stylish male. Take a look at how it's done.
Start in your closet when gathering inspiration for your home. This room just may be the key to helping you to translate your personality and style into your living space.
Just as you would dress up a pair of dark washed denim for a relaxed yet sophisticated look, this dining room delivers a timeless feel with its navy walls, neatly-tucked white chairs, and a red leather for a touch of panache.
Just as a unique belt can add the right flair to a pair of tailored trousers, this room features a hide-upholstered accent chair that also acts much like an attention-grabbing accessory.

that's such a great suggestion. with one's wardrobe you can get various ideas of textures, styles, and colors that can work within a room. that's definitely something that i'll take into consideration when decorating my apartment.
