Guest Picks: 20 Modern, Masculine Finishing Touches

I'm just completing a masculine bedroom redesign for my charity project, and it's made me realize how much I love designing for the male species. It's easy to get overwhelmed when planning a masculine interior space, but keep in mind that it's really the finishing touches that seal the deal. It's not specifically which accessories you select, but more about how you use the pieces that catch your eye that determines whether or not you'll be a success. From textiles to lighting and vintage goods, here are my 20 top pics for accessories that will ensure your masculine room hits a home run. — Dayka from Dayka Robinson Design

Steel Polyhedron Small Pendant - $395.00 » I'm still nuts over the Polyhedron pendant light. It's eye-catching and bold, but in a simple way. I think it's the perfect light fixture for the guy who "doesn't do" chandeliers.


Wimberly Mirror - $199.95 » This mirror has become a recent favorite of mine, and yes, I love it for masculine spaces. The trick is to balance all of the other accessories so that the overall feel of the room is neither masculine nor feminine. In this case, I'd keep my printed textiles to a minimum and focus on texture and color. Trust me, you or your client will end up happy.


Glacier National Park Blanket - $178.00 » This is an adaptable blanket, meaning it can adapt to whatever environment you place it in. It's bold, bright, classic and screams, "Hey, I've got style!" in that understated, Ryan Gosling–type of way. Plus, it's wool, and who doesn't love a good wool blanket? It makes for the perfect accessory to curl up with.


Channels Ebony & Ivory Pillow - $126.00 » This pillow is like a mini piece of art and makes coordinating patterns a cinch, even for the decorating beginner!


Walnut Wall Clock - $39.95 » I find myself obsessed with random accessories these days, and one the latest is a good wall clock. With all of the attention put on cell phones, a stylish wall clock is almost a throwback to yesteryear. Add this to a masculine decor and up the ante on his cool points. And the great thing about wood is that it never goes out of style.


French Submarine Clock - $159.00 » Remember what I told you about clocks? This is a top pick because I love the vintage feel and double bezel. It's the quintessential "industrial chic."


Tribute to Music Wall Art » I love it when a person's space tells a bit about who they are. For the masculine music connoisseur, this is the perfect conversation piece.


Brass Mastercraft Table - $1,450.00 » Personally, I think guys always look a bit better if they have brass in their homes. I love this coffee table for its clean lines, interesting details and, of course, that beautiful patinated brass. It's not too shiny and not too dull, just right.


Aga Brown Pillow - $109.00 » This fretwork print gives me life! Pair it with a plaid toss pillow in a coordinating color, and you've got the beginnings of one stylish yet masculine bed.


Santorini Pendant - $795.00 » This is a more traditional pick, but with the right grouping, this carriage-style chandelier goes Masculine 2.0 in 60 seconds. The black iron frame and clean lines make it the perfect piece for lighting a bedroom or lounging space.


Aston Grid 18-inch Pillow - $29.95 » Let's face it: Guys can get overwhelmed by too much pattern in colors that are too eye-catching. While I'll never give up my love for pattern, I am willing to budge on the color. This pillow is chic enough for you but still graphic enough for him. Plus, it's a great reminder that sometimes black and white is the greatest color palette of them all.


Anchor Hook - $16.00 » Short on space? These iron wall hooks make a stylish statement while providing valuable storage. In a dwelling that's lacking square footage, make sure the walls become prime real estate.


Vintage Heavyweight Brass Pocket Change Dish by Behind the Orange Door - $25.00 » Dealing with a messy man? Help him corral the contents of his pockets with this vintage brass pocket change holder. After all, a guy that can appreciate a good vintage accessory is definitely worth holding on to (at least in my book).


Diamond Print Sheet Set - $79.00 » Great sheets are like a gift that keeps on giving. Upgrade his bedtime routine with a soft set of sheets that not only feels good, but looks even better. You can never go wrong with a block tile print.


Upside-down Spider Chandelier » Want to know what's really going to bring sexy back? This chandelier. Formally known as the Upside-down Spider, this has tall shades that give off a sexy ambience while the clean chrome lines let you know that the owner of this beauty knows a thing or two about style. And that's the whole point, right?


'Tetris' Rug - $479.00 » This is the perfect patterned neutral rug. With a color that's easy on the eyes and a geometric pattern that will stand up to anything you pair it with, this is a great rug for the guy that wants a bit of "oomph" but doesn't want to go overboard.


Parsons Floor Mirror, Natural Solid Wood - $499.00 » A man of a certain age should never leave the house without giving himself the once-over. Help him help you with this parson's-style natural wood floor mirror. It's so pretty that it's like functional art.


Branch Chandelier - $499.00 » This Branch chandelier is edgy, modern, masculine and stylish. Therefore, it's the perfect mix to set the mood in your man's space.


Hand-crafted Burlwood Vintage Bookends by Icon Design - $22.99 » Burlwood! I love anything burlwood — it's hot, hot, hot. The organic shape of these vintage bookends screams, "I know style when I see it." More importantly, they also says that their owner is someone who reads — and that's pretty hot, too.


Samar Ottoman - $119.00 » I'm probably solely responsible for putting these stools on backorder, but I love them so much and use them for my clients all the time. You can never have too much seating, and because you're going to need seating, why not make it both multipurpose and stylish? Whether they're used as dinner tables or foot props, these stools don't disappoint.
