I have a houseful of boys & men. Even our dog is a male! Believe me, I have samples if you’d like to see them. Email me.
Basically, have fun with metal embellishments and all different types of patterned papers that are masculine. Use metal brads, eyelets, frames, photo clips, hinges. Also, don’t forget to add fibers in natural colors and textures (leather, hemp, etc).
You can make it nice and have fun with it!

A masculine scrapbook is akin to a feminine lawnmower. If you insist on making a scrapbook, fill it with pictures of scantily clad women who look better than you and coupons for beer.

I recently made a scrapbook for my dad’s birthday. I bought masculine looking paper for my pages. Some that I used had vertical lines, maps, fishing, golf, travel, etc…. I based the book on his hobbies and since he was brought up in the 50’s and loves music, I did some pages with that theme. Just think of what the person likes and his hobbies and do the book accordingly. There are alot of scrapbook websites out there so you can get alot of ideas from that. I hope this helps.

Suggest painting white on white and white towels. Always looks clean and is very modern and works for both girls and guys.
Add interest and colour with paintings and accessories.
Add a bright feature wall in bedroom to make it fun!

There is no such thing as a masculine scrapbook, it's guaranteed to disappoint him. Buy him a six pack and get something from victorias secret.....you should see where this is going by now. Do something special for him that he wants to do, It seems rather selfish to make him a scrapbook just because you like doing it.

Use some leather/suede fabric and I agree with one of the other comments – using some darker colors – or more importantly, what are HIS favorite colors?

Also, what are HIS interests? Are you zeroing in on his likes? There are a lot of neat scrapbooking things out there to masculine it up! I’ve seen cowboy/biker/racing, etc… all kinds of stuff – let your imagination go wild and pay attention to what catches his attention!

Congrats on a place of your own! When my husband and I got our first place we had a terrible time deciding what to buy and wound up buying everything too dark. I would go neutral as possible with all furniture and add color with curtains, carpets, pillows and art. This way you can change it all without breaking the bank. As for towels I like white, other colors fade and look old way too quickly, but with a little bleach your white are always good as new. One thing that we also did was bought all of our kitchen tools, and accessories in stainless steel. It gave it a uniform look and not too kitchy. Then I was able again to add my fav color dish towels, vases of flowers, etc. Good luck and happy decorating.

Head to your crafts store and find fun stickers or embellishments that are "manly". Is he into sport- use stickers of sporting goods.

Use darker colors- blues, greens, black instead of light colors and write on the pages with light colored markers of pens (white on black looks awesome).

You could also make your background for your pages out of magazines featuring things he likes such as sports or outdoor type scenes.

Just try to think about the things he likes and use the pages you create to reflect his personality!

Good Luck.

Ikea is a great place for starter furniture, and it is fairly cheap but well put together. Live together for a while before you make any big decorating projects. What you have in your mind now may not work once you are living together. Compromise and stay neutral until you can agree on colors, beer mirrors in the living room, floral prints in the bed room……it will work and it may surprise you just take your time.
