Color Scheme: Choose a palette of masculine colors such as navy blue, charcoal gray, forest green, or earthy tones like brown and tan. You can also incorporate pops of color like mustard yellow or deep red for contrast.

Furniture: Opt for sturdy, timeless furniture pieces like a dark wood crib, a leather or faux leather rocking chair like this one, and a solid wood dresser with clean lines like this one are a good place to start. Industrial-style furniture can also add a masculine touch. 

Wall Decor: Consider decorating the walls with artwork or prints that reflect a masculine theme, such as vintage cars, sports equipment, or geometric patterns. You could also create a gallery wall with framed black and white photos.

Textures: Incorporate different textures to add depth and interest to the room. For example, you could use a plush rug, faux fur throw blanket, or denim curtains. This dark rug with simple lines can fit with any bedding/wall decor you choose. Speaking of bedding, our herringbone haven crib sheet is a great choice for any nursery decor, but would be the perfect simple option for a masculine nursery theme!

Accent Pieces: Add personality to the nursery with masculine accent pieces like a vintage trunk for storage, a metal table lamp with an Edison bulb, or decorative elements made from wood or metal.

Theme: If you want to go with a specific theme, consider options like wilderness, adventure, nautical, or vintage airplane. Use themed decor sparingly to avoid overwhelming the space. If you are thinking an adventure or wilderness theme, these simple wilderness prints would be a good fit for a masculine nursery.

Storage Solutions: Invest in functional storage solutions to keep the nursery organized and clutter-free. This could include baskets, shelves, and storage bins in coordinating colors and materials.

Lighting: Choose lighting fixtures that complement the masculine aesthetic, such as industrial-style pendant lights or sleek floor lamps with metal accents. Make sure the room has both ambient lighting and task lighting for functionality.

Personal Touches: Finally, don't forget to add personal touches that reflect your style and interests as well as items that hold sentimental value. This could be anything from family heirlooms to handmade decorations.

By combining these elements, you can create a masculine nursery that is both stylish and inviting for your little one.
