Paint all the walls white. Have dark wooden floors. And hang large paintings by HR Giger and photos by Robert Maplethorpe. It’ll make you seem stylish, interestingly cultured, darkly mysterious and sexually open, enigmatic and perhaps a touch dangerous. Chicks will dig it.

Maybe have a look at Japandi styles and see if that is the kind of thing you'd like.

To avoid a scheme looking flat, build depth with texture. So you could use similar shades of naturals, but with different textures.

Honest advice? Without taking the piss?

George is right about dark wooden floors. Glowup is right about textures. And don’t avoid colour. Deep rich blues and greens are frickin’ awesome.

Get into the AD (Architectural Digest) YouTube channel. Watch the tours of some famous manly men’s homes. Steal ideas liberally.

Just don’t be swayed into interior decor that jars with the building itself. If you’ve got an old stone cottage, keep it natural. If you’re in a modern block of flats, use modern styles.

This sounds really nice. I'd probably play safe and go neutral on the walls, maybe add some dark wood. Neutral - broadly what's in at the moment is subtle beiges (think magnolia but paler). Not that you should care about what's in, choose what you like, but you'll find more advice/options based on what's trendy.

When choosing colours and textures, choose fabrics and paper first, carpet second, paints last.

If you’re having a feature wall don’t choose the long wall in a rectangular room or it will feel more like a corridor. If it’s a long room consider making feature walls with both opposing small walls. You will make the room feel squarer.

If you really want to sell the Single guy vibe:

Leave some empty cans of lager scattered about the place (decoratively of course). Find someone that still has a secret stash of Titbits magazine and wallpaper the downstairs loo in them. I'll get back to you if I think of anything else.

Edinburgh (She/Her)

Think of male brands that have elegance and luxury. Look at thier colour pallet. Find one that draws you in. That's your main colour then find an accent colour to add a pop of colour. Lighting - main for function, side - for mood and ambiance.

Shop for interesting curiosities to provide talking points in the room. Antique shops, auto jumbles. Don't go to mass market tk maxx. Be individual and unique like you are.

Then all you need is an array of pictures. And you are good.

Well that's a bit of a different one without knowing some details. Like what's your style, what layout are you looking for, where is the light coming from and what direction do your windows face for natural light.

Are you decorating your home for it to appeal to others, or for you to enjoy?

Just have a look on sites like Pinterest for inspiration and go with ideas that you like. You're the one living there.

"Paint all the walls white. Have dark wooden floors. And hang large paintings by HR Giger and photos by Robert Maplethorpe. It’ll make you seem stylish, interestingly cultured, darkly mysterious and sexually open, enigmatic and perhaps a touch dangerous. Chicks will dig it.

So guess my photo of Red Rum is a no no then"

You can take down the one of Shergar as well.

Lamborghinis and tits.

And suggestions from the adults is ???"

Go to B&Q get the colour brochure things and see what you like.

I’d say look for neutral colours, if you have a fireplace built out, could use a darker/different colour.

Start with that and for the soft furnishing stuff get a woman to help

Leave one piece of wallpaper short and never get round to replacing it.

Leave a bucket of paste in the corner and the pasting table down but shoved behind the couch.

Trip up and spray some coffee over the paper and some of the paintwork that won't quite rub off

For that special touch , leave some thumb prints around the light switch and paint around the nudes you can't take down cos you glued them to the wall yonks ago ..... wipe the jizz away tho x

Sorted.

Download the dulux visualiser app mate.

It allows you to take pics of your rooms ect and then add colours to walls to give you an idea of what it will look like.

Being in the trade myself for over 20yrs. The best advice I can give you is learn and the colour wheel and how to use it depending on the look you want.

Flow? Subtle? Contrast ect?

DISCLAIMER FOR ALL MALE HALF OF COUPLES ON THIS THREAD: I am not responsible for your wife or partner using this advice to enforce change and redecoration. This advice is aimed purely at the OP. Lol
