Every single person needs a home where they can relax, unwind, have fun, live and cook at their ease. Male interiors are generally dark, but not depressing. It can be said that the dark colors used have a calming effect. You can play with textures to bring a striking touch and of course, the furniture and decorative accessories are there to create a defined atmosphere.
Male kitchens are one of the major trends at the moment because, in fact, kitchens dressed in dark colors are too. Today, we are going to focus on men’s kitchen designs. The elements that we will take a closer look are the cupboards, the island and the stools as well as the lamps. Of course, appliances and various accessories also have an impact on the atmosphere in the room, but we will mainly focus on furniture through this post.
1. Kitchen cupboards
Storage cupboards are one of the basic elements in a kitchen. In most cases, they represent the focal point. They create the atmosphere and can bring about a big change. Therefore, the choice of your kitchen cupboards will define the design of your kitchen. It is therefore important to make your choice.
The brown or black colored wooden cupboards with a smooth, elegant appearance and which do not have handles as well as the black metal cupboards are perfect for a masculine and modern kitchen.
If you find dark colored cabinets too dull, then opt for a lighter colored wood model that you accompany with a black tile backsplash. It is also feasible to go for other colors like teal, dark gray and brown. You can also create a nice contrast with the help of the backsplash and the counter, for example with black marble, white stones and red bricks.
2. Kitchen islands and stools
The kitchen island is not just a surface for preparing meals. You can also have breakfast there, mainly if you live alone and have the first meal of the day quickly. The kitchen island can be a beautiful element in the decor if the material chosen is interesting and if you adopt a captivating geometric shape. The material of the kitchen island can be a way to add texture to the kitchen.
The stone or concrete counter is especially durable but it would also be interesting to have a black wood island to match the cupboards. A marble countertop will make your culinary space a masculine, elegant and luxurious kitchen. If the wood is already present enough in the decor, you could opt for a metal counter.
Either way, pretty stools will help you impose the masculine side and accentuate the decor style you have chosen. The stools can be made of metal, covered in ocher-colored leather or upholstered for more comfort.
3. Lighting
Here is a lighting idea perfect for a masculine style kitchen.
4. A well-equipped masculine black-and-white kitchen
But when the decor is masculine, things are quite different; no more flowery patterns and pink color. After all, living in a place that doesn’t suit us is definitely a tough adventure, right? It is therefore necessary to know how to find the decorative elements that will make the heart of the house, a masculine kitchen.
5. Modern and minimalist with black for storage furniture
The perfect mix for a masculine decor that will appeal to his lover and make him feel good at home. Men are generally not fond of cooking , but this space should also be stylish and reflect their personalities. Whether you like natural interiors, strict minimalism, or a bit of vintage flair, you can achieve whatever you want in your masculine kitchen. The most common thing in the men’s club are dark colors like black or gray, and then just choose furniture and accessories to suit your style.
6. High or low kitchen units in dark tones
High or low kitchen units in dark tones are among the most popular choices for furnishing a room with masculine style decor: black and brown as well as their many shades are very common examples.
7. Vintage kitchen and men’s decor for the interior of the house

8. Deco kitchen style man with concrete wall and neutral colors
Raw materials are typically associated with masculine style decor and kitchens in this style. So let’s see which surfaces to choose for a successful male space !
9. Worktop for a modern design men’s kitchen
Stone, brick and concrete are often present in the kitchen of this style, either through an accent wall with cladding of this kind, or through a splashback or a worktop.
10. Give personality to a kitchen with masculine decor by playing with contrasts!
To add more luminosity to its interior space, we will also bet on contrasting colors that belong to the neutral tone palette: thus, we will associate the furniture painted in black or dark gray with a light wall paint color, such as white. and beige.
11. Modern kitchen for man with white coating and furniture in dark tones
This color combination would be particularly suitable for a room with modern furniture. Parquet in light shades will allow you to further emphasize the shapes of your furniture.

Make your kitchen even more interesting by experimenting with lacquered surfaces. To this end, dare a kitchen cabinet front in shiny black or a subway tiled splashback!
13. Wood rhymes with stone surfaces and with men’s kitchen decor
The raw wood furniture is another detail present in many kitchen interiors with masculine style decor. And, in addition, its rustic appearance blends wonderfully with exposed stone surfaces!

Seduced by the simplicity of Scandinavian decors, you dream of recreating a Nordic atmosphere in your kitchen and you wonder what are the masculine decor options for this kind of space?

So feel free to use light wooden surfaces and put them together with furniture painted in black or dark gray!
16. A Nordic style kitchen in men’s style
This will create a natural, eye-pleasing atmosphere that is capable of transforming any dark kitchen into a welcoming space.
17. The central island and the bar, men’s favorite pieces of furniture, come into the men’s kitchen
The kitchen island is not just a piece of furniture that makes it easier to prepare homemade meals and store kitchen tools. It is also a very practical and highly prized area for sets reserved for men.
18. Take advantage of an island with bar and dining area
In fact, the island can serve as a dining area for quick breakfasts and can even turn into a bar area for aperitifs and evenings with friends.
19. The modern kitchen bar invades small spaces
Modern kitchen islands and bar adapt to the size of the room to meet your needs. Even small rooms can benefit from such a cabinet with integrated hob or sink!
20. Dare to use original shapes and create a modern kitchen island like no other
The masculine style decor is certainly simple and uncluttered, but that does not mean that it should lack personality. If you love modern design, consider the kitchen island layout possibilities that defy the imagination with unexpected geometric shapes!
21. Highlight natural surfaces through the modern design kitchen island
The bar in the center of the room is a great way to showcase materials used in kitchen furnishings, such as wood and concrete. It is precisely this solution that has been favored in the kitchen in the image above.
22. Men’s decoration and luxury white marble worktop
And what’s more, this piece of furniture, even when it’s very small in size, can help you introduce luxury deco accents into your men’s kitchen. If this idea sounds interesting to you, consider noble surfaces, such as marble.
23. Suspensions, trendy decorative accents for men’s style kitchens
Invite a bistro atmosphere or American-style bar decoration into your home with lights suspended at the top of your island’s worktop. Identify colors and models of original suspensions and also use them as ornamental elements!
24. Reclaimed style kitchen inspiration for men with large format lighting
Large vintage style light fixtures will definitely contribute to a retro bar style interior design, especially when paired with reclaimed stools, like in the picture above.
25. Dark wood kitchen for man and modern hanging light bulbs
Even though they look quite unassuming, pendant light bulbs have the ability to be an excellent male-style decor detail, especially in dark kitchens where they glow in all their glory!
26. Sobriety and minimalism for a kitchen with masculine features
I had already spoken about it in my last article about the masculine style in the bathroom. One of the flagship criteria of this decorative style is to combine aesthetics with practicality. We therefore find the functionality of minimalism where nothing is left to chance so that the kitchen is practical on a daily basis. We will therefore think about the location of the different poles of the kitchen so that it is practical but not only. The smallest details will have a meaning, that of simplifying your life. If your kitchen seems too dark to you, we will make a point of reflecting the lighting of the room: in general (with a main light) but also in more specific areas (thanks to spots for example) to illuminate the spaces where you spend the most time (sink, worktop …) You will also notice that there are many images of inspirations that present shelves above the worktop. I find them very practical to have at hand the dishes or kitchen accessories that we use every day.
27. Black – a flagship color but sparingly
Not all men’s kitchens are black, but we must admit that this color comes up frequently when looking for inspiration. There are many ways to put a touch of black in the kitchen without necessarily repainting the walls that color or choosing black fronts. We can think of lighting, seats (chairs or stools), crockery and kitchen utensils, the kitchen piano, the splashback … Black is no longer a color as taboo as it used to be. It has become an elegant color, practical for highlighting decorative details. Even though I love black, there is one caveat that you absolutely must take into account in the kitchen (and in the bathroom): black and water do not mix.
28. A special choice for bar stools
The choice of seats and therefore bar stools is a small detail that will contribute to your decoration. They will work for the convivial spirit of your space despite the sober shades of colors. Nothing is left to chance when choosing the right stools: the material that makes up the legs, the shape and the covering of the seat, etc. The masculine style leaves you a lot of choices when it comes to this decorative element. Are you more industrial stools? Bar chairs like in English clubs? On the one hand you will have rough formwork stools generally associating wood and metal while on the other side it will be more elegant seats, with leather, quilting and even possibly brass. In any case, it will contribute to the unique atmosphere of your living room.
29. Authentic and noble materials for a masculine kitchen
It is also a theme that can be found in all my articles devoted to male interiors: the importance of materials in your decor. Wood, leather, metal, stone, marble or even brick are of paramount importance in the atmosphere of your home, especially if you opt for a more minimal decoration. What these materials have in common is that they help you create an elegant and authentic interior. We will find noble materials, durable over time such as wood, stone or leather. You can also choose raw materials for a masculine and industrial kitchen.
30. Incorporate your stainless steel furniture into a masculine kitchen
Modern or vintage, furniture and household appliances with metallic surfaces are also a great way to draw attention to your trendy decor.
