Pitch a perfect scheme
The days of men taking a backseat when it comes to decorating are long gone. In fact, they’re well and truly in the driving seat when it comes to their homes, often making sure their taste is reflected in shared spaces.
They are design- literate and just as keen to show off their branded homeware as they are the designer contents of their wardrobes, and their desire for relaxing, practical spaces is in step with the whole trend for functional homes, where character and personality shine through.
So call it what you will – a man cave, bachelor pad or boy base – there’s no excuse for that men’s room not to look stylish any more, with an array of cool kit and furnishings designed with men in mind.
Here are some style personality types, and inspiration for getting the look. If you’re a big kid at heart and passionate about the beautiful game, there’s a stadium full of fabulous football furnishings to play with. Score an immediate hit with a pitch mural and, if you can afford it, a super- chic Lento Hattrick Football Lounge Chair, £ 2,900, and Footstool, £ 1,200, from Do Shop – but it’s a treat strictly for grown- ups.
