Subtleties of room design for a young man
For a young man at any age, his personal space is very important. As a rule, men do not pay attention to the insignificant, in their opinion, trifles, but at the same time they are very jealous of any invasion of their territory. Therefore, it is important to think over the entire design of the room at once, because then the guy simply will not allow anything to be changed, since men, as a rule, are great conservatives.
There are a huge variety of design trends for home decoration. Let's try to consider the currents most suitable for a man.
Loft
This style is distinguished by its brutality and asceticism. It is not for everybody and is recommended, rather, for a young man of about 25 years old, rather than for young men at a tender age. Its distinctive features are a minimum of decoration, and sometimes its complete absence. Since "loft" in translation means "attic", then a room in this style should have all its features - bare concrete walls, the absence of even a hint of decoration, rough wooden or metal furniture, and blinds instead of curtains or even without them.
If the raw surface of the walls and ceiling seems too brutal, you can add a little coziness to the room by painting it in neutral colors. Alternatively, you can experiment with the color scheme and paint all the walls in several colors. Preferred colors are white, gray, brown, black. As for the latter, you need to be especially careful with it. Even if the room is spacious, you should not paint it all black - it needs to be added in dosage, or better in the form of several accents. The abundance of black in the interior will look spectacular only at the initial stage, and then it will begin to depress and annoy.
If you are dealing with a room for a young man in an old "Khrushchev", then there is usually a small room for the nursery, the area of which rarely exceeds 12 square meters. m. In this case, you should generally refrain from black.
Minimalism
This interior style is very similar to the previous one. Here, as well as in the loft, there are no unnecessary accessories. Each thing has its own strict purpose. Guys are often quite careless about putting things in order in their room, so furniture for such an interior should be chosen from the point of view of practicality and functionality.
A spacious and roomy wardrobe with a full wall is a good option for storing clothes and other things. You can quickly put all the things scattered around the room in it, if necessary, quickly put things in order. In addition, there you can store more bulky things that a teenager may have at the age of 16 - rollers, a water scooter, a game console, a musical instrument. There you can also allocate an area for storing disks, books and stationery.
It is better to choose the facade for the cabinet doors from wood or high-quality plastic, but it is worth refraining from mirrors in full growth - it is not typical for guys to admire themselves every minute, and besides, mom will most likely have to wash the mirror. When designing a work area for a room in a minimalist style, restraint should also be exercised. The size of the desk should be just enough to accommodate your laptop and textbooks. Choose a chair upholstery that is practical so that, if necessary, you can easily remove traces of chips or cola.
The decor in the minimalist interior is characterized by calm monochromatic colors. Natural colors should be preferred.Traditionally, it is sand, gray, light yellow, pale green, or neutral white.
High tech
This design of the room is in a modern style and will surely suit the taste of guys at the age of 18 who are fond of, for example, robotics or computer games. It contains the asceticism characteristic of minimalism, but it is already diluted with some of the technical innovations that progress offers - they are not only present here, but also paraded. If a TV is planned in the room, then it should be the latest model plasma. If it's music, then it can be a synthesizer or even a drum kit or home theater and always with high-quality acoustics.
Furniture is still devoid of flowing forms, all lines are clear, simple and understandable. However, if in the loft we observed a certain primitiveness of design, then hi-tech, on the contrary, is replete with the presence of hidden complex mechanisms. There is a lot of modern technology, secret drawers and built-in wardrobes. High-tech finishes are characterized by glass, metal and plastic. The floor is most often covered with synthetic flooring. However, you should also be careful with the use of artificial materials. It is important to remember that this is still a living space, and the abundance of synthetics can negatively affect the health of a teenager.
As a decor, the presence of thematic posters, paintings or photographs is allowed here. The base colors for wall decoration are still all neutral shades. You can choose one color or combine several shades. If a young man is fond of graffiti, he can decorate one or more walls in his room with his own hand.
Lighting plays a very important role in high-tech. Here, preference is given to artificial light - it is present everywhere: built-in lamps on the ceiling, interior lighting of furniture, LED strip on the walls and on the shelves. With the help of lighting, you can zone even a small 10 meter room and distinguish between areas for rest and work. Correctly selected light can visually expand the boundaries of the room.
Sport
Such an interior solution is suitable for young people who are involved in a certain kind of sport. If this is a football player, you can choose finishing materials in the colors of his team, decorate the walls with clippings from magazines or posters with sports idols of the young man, and lay a covering imitating a football field on the floor. If the owner of the room is into volleyball or basketball, hang a ball net for him. The room of a young man who is fond of oriental wrestling can be decorated with quotes from martial arts masters.
Often a child's hobby for sports develops into something more, and a young man at the age of 20 already has a certain list of awards and achievements. For cups and certificates, you can select a separate rack or cabinet with glass doors so that all guests entering the room can see the object of pride of its owner. For greater effect, the cabinet can be equipped with interior lighting. Those guys who are not fond of any particular kind of sport, but simply prefer an active lifestyle, can be pleased with the wall bars with a turnstile for pull-ups or an exercise machine. Since such things are bought for more than one year, you should not save on the quality of sports equipment. And then the corner, which was bought for a teenager at the age of 14, will serve its owner at the age of 20.
There are no special rules or restrictions for decorating a room in a sporty style. Both very light and fairly dark tones can be present here. Here you can play in contrast, then the room will look dynamic, modern and youthful. As you know, sport is, first of all, movement. Therefore, a sports-style room should be as spacious and comfortable as possible. Do not force it with furniture - it should be kept to a minimum. Moreover, it should be practical, convenient and not cumbersome.
Music
The musical theme in the design of a room for a teenager or young man is quite common. It almost never goes out of style. In addition to the already classics of rock and metal, such genres as R'n'B, rap and some other directions have been added relatively recently. When creating a musical interior, you can move away from the usual stereotypes and give free rein to imagination. Here, creativity is encouraged - for example, drums can be used as shelves. You can't put a lot on them, rather, they will serve as a decorative element, but rather attractive and unusual. The bedside table or coffee table can also be decorated with a drum set.
If you have an old guitar lying around on the mezzanine, do not rush to throw it away. It can also be used in the interior, for example, as a wall cabinet. To do this, you need to remove the front panel, and make several shelves inside. You can also decorate the walls with beautiful stickers depicting dancing figures or portraits of famous musicians. You can make original clocks or photo frames from CDs. You can also simply hang them on the walls, and if you hang a spinning disco ball from the ceiling, the light rays will be reflected in the discs, creating additional musical lighting.
Vanguard
This design is distinguished by bold ideas and is suitable for those who are not afraid of experiments and creativity, for self-confident young people who do not tolerate gray boredom and try to stand out from the crowd. The avant-garde is characterized by the presence of bright colors and accents. The color scheme does not tolerate halftones - everything here is to the maximum and in contrast. The colors are saturated, while the neighborhood of traditionally incongruous shades is allowed.
Furniture is often chosen by the author, with complex shapes and daring character. But at the same time, we must not forget about its functionality. First of all, the bed should be a place to sleep, and then an interior decoration. And the wardrobe, even if it is from the most fashionable designer, must certainly be roomy. You can zone the room with the help of light - above the bed, you can make a stretch ceiling in the form of a starry sky, and in the active zone above the armchair and TV, hang a modern-style chandelier or install a floor lamp with an original lampshade.
Nautical
This interior is more suitable for teenage boys. It will never lose its relevance. The only difference is that the dads of modern boys at the age of 14 were read by Captain Nemo's wanderings, and the charming Captain Jack Sparrow became the idol of their sons.
Modern technologies of large-format printing allow you to create wallpaper with any theme. Therefore, if your offspring is haunted by the glory of the aforementioned pirate, make him a gift and order a poster with a plot from the notorious blockbuster. This can be, for example, a pirate ship on a moonlit path in a night sea with an entire wall, and spotlights will create the illusion of a starry sky. To complete the picture, you can hang a lampshade in the form of a steering wheel, and instead of curtains on the windows - fishing nets.
In order for the room to be a living space, and not resemble the scenery for a performance, it is important to observe the measure and maintain functionality. The floor can be covered with laminate that resembles a ship's deck. A combination of wood and white metal is allowed in the decoration. It is preferable to choose colors that are restrained. For the walls, you can choose brown, in association with the captain's cabin, or blue, like the surface of the sea. Any neutral tones are also acceptable, which can be brought to life with the help of a few details - a starfish glued to the wall, or a shell on a shelf.
Summing up all of the above, we can conclude that there are a huge number of directions in which you can move when decorating a men's room. However, they have something in common: the room should be as functional, comfortable and livable as possible.
