Think industrial, leather upholstery, dark woods, and subtle textures. Another vital element to menswear-inspired furniture is the combination of classic neutral color palettes, texture, and subtle patterns. In our opinion, this style looks best in the bedroom and living room.

Natural Furniture Materials
