Handsome Design

This month, we are exploring handsome interior design. A style that incorporates elements and features traditionally associated with masculinity, such as strength, simplicity, and boldness.

While the term can vary in interpretation and may evolve with changing cultural norms, some prevailing characteristics of masculine interior design include:

Dark Colour Palettes:

• Deep, rich colours such as charcoal, navy blue, hunter green, and shades of brown are often used to create a sense of warmth and sophistication.

Clean Lines and Geometric Shapes:

• Straight lines, angular furniture, and geometric patterns contribute to a more structured and minimalist look, conveying a sense of strength and order.

Natural Materials:

• The use of materials like leather, wood, metal, and stone adds texture and depth to the space, evoking a rugged yet refined feel. The Thomas Kent Florentine Leather adopted this detail into the design.

Statement Furniture:

• Large-scale, sturdy furniture pieces with clean designs and minimal ornamentation are commonly featured; providing both comfort and visual impact.

Industrial Elements:

• Incorporating industrial-inspired elements such as exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and metal accents can enhance the rugged and utilitarian aesthetic of a space. The Thomas Kent Haymarket range seizes the essence of traditional station clocks - hosting a metal profile with a clean, simplistic clock dial.

Focus on Functionality:

• Practicality and functionality are prioritised in masculine interior design, with furniture and decor chosen for their usefulness as well as their visual appeal.

A handsome interior design aims to create spaces that feel timeless, often striking a balance between simplicity and sophistication.
