When discovering your personal style, anything goes in interior design just as in fashion. Your home's decor is an expression of you and is subject to your personal taste which never is wrong. Your favorite suits, blazers, trousers and accessories provide ideas for color palettes and materials to use in creating a home for a stylish male. Take a look at how it's done.

Start in your closet when gathering inspiration for your home. This room just may be the key to helping you to translate your personality and style into your living space.
Just as you would dress up a pair of dark washed denim for a relaxed yet sophisticated look, this dining room delivers a timeless feel with its navy walls, neatly-tucked white chairs, and a red leather for a touch of panache.
The urban cowboy who isn't afraid to wear a winter white jean would enjoy this casual living room. The oversized painting and coffee table accents gives clues to his Southwestern roots.
Scottish roots are deeply planted in this Tudor-style cottage. The tartan plaid upholstered dining room chairs with leather-bound seats introduce a pleasant juxtaposition to the English country serving ware.
Allow your fabric choices to create a common thread between rooms. Plaid makes another appearance in the cottage, this time in the form of drapery panels. A hunter green velvet upholstered sofa, worn leather club chair, and antique rug outfits this room for the man of the house.
If you are a gentleman whose dress reflects your heritage, try incorporating artwork that tells your story. The artwork in this office provides a historic lesson in music appreciation. The painting of musicians playing drums and pu shell horns is a nod to a Hawaiian celebratory custom.
If your fashion preference leans more toward modern and traditional, this dining room is a perfect example of the new contemporary mix. With its streamlined chrome-framed chairs and warm rug underfoot, the space encourages long dinners and engaging conversation.
Just as a unique belt can add the right flair to a pair of tailored trousers, this room features a hide-upholstered accent chair that also acts much like an attention-grabbing accessory.
