10 Cool Living Rooms For Men

Leather couch with exposed roof beams, white walls and a modern distressed rug. The leather couch is in the, so called, tuxedo style and has legs. We think the above living room could be best described as ‘modern rustic’. We really like the two floor lamps here, both adding to the cool bachelor living room vibe.

This open plan apartment living room is framed very nicely with the synchronicity between the large abstract artwork behind the couch, the cozy rug squarely leading toward the TV – and the artwork neatly arranged above the TV.

Here is another angle from the above; you can see the framing of the artwork is very tactical and leads to a clean and fresh mens living room. If you want to add some more character to a room, we here at FurnishHim prefer a more discordant and asymmetrical arrangement of wall art; check out our article on it here: How to Give My Apartment Character? Use Asymmetry – FURNISH HIM. Additionally this living room style falls under a ‘neutral’ color scheme.

You have the mid century modern coffee table there with regular modern L-shape couch and TV stand with an awesome – and very in vogue – distressed rug. Those two plants are Kentia Palms. Whilst the two palms look really cool – a great way to improve this space would be to have some kind of leaning ladder shelf on one side in order to maximise storage space.

Full blown mid-mod neutral living room. This clean and simple room has many features that make a cool male living space cool. We have the L-shaped grey couch there with throws and accent pillows, we have the oversized leaning mirror, a large kentia palm plant and mood lighting. We’d improve this by adding an arc lamp and perhaps a subtle accent walls – perhaps a lighter shade of grey behind the TV.

You can create powerful masculine living room ideas on a budget. In this open plan, small apartment, the living room is furnished with a cool black leather couch (probably not too budget friendly actually) and some simplistic pinewood furniture. The plants are what really level up this living room.

Luxurious furnishings make up this modern neutral living room. This large room has successfully zoned off it’s TV and seating area. Take note of the stylish green pillows and red chair.
