how can i masculinize my room ive gotten rid of all the feminine things but its still rather androgynous looking.

 Leave dirty underwear on the ground, let it get unorganized, messy, and slobbish, let it be boring, hang up some band t-shirts, put up some posters of girls, and never ever make your bed Bonus points if your blanket is all stained, and even more bonus points if you don't have sheets.

Sorry. Couldn't resist. You can skip the t-shirts and posters.

Your room can look like whatever you want it to, to be honest. If you want to go stereotypical, that's fine, but I don't think anyone will judge you based on what your room looks like. And... if they do, then they're weird. 

I sort of remember this from an old thread of how to feminise your room? Put your boyfriend in bed with you.

Probably work much the same for a guy, put your girl in bed with you.

get posters from spencers lol of either epic dude'ly movies, or hot chicks

get a dart board?
put a black, or dark drapery over the window
get a raggy but comfortable old bedspread
decorate with mostly dark or dull colors

I love man cave kinda rooms, I used to kinda have one but I moved in with my boyfriend and he has nice things lol, but I suppose it still looks masculine because of whats in it

I guess just keep masculine things in your room, and it will look masculine.  My older brother had to live in a pale yellow room with wallpaper of stuffed animals on the border and it still looked like a guys room.

Duct tape wall art.

No, seriously. Do it.

Sounds like my room at its worst.

I have dark furniture in my room cause I like it. I have clean clothes on the floor and the dirty ones in the basket. Backwards right? My bed is only made if a special someone is going to stay the nite. I have camo flannel sheets on the bed now too. I have nothing on my walls but there is nothing on the walls anywhere in my apartment.

Turn it into a man cave with video game consoles laying everywhere, a gaming chair, posters of UFC fighters and women, smart alex remarks etc and fit it with some light up cool electronic stuff.  Spencers has a lot of cool man items there you can look for

Hahaha, oh wow you guys and gals all sound so neet compared to me! My room is a mess, I have a floordrobe because I can't get to my wardrobe because I have a floordrobe because I can't...

I have massive subwoofers in the middle of my room angled perfectly so the sound crosses at my bed, and cables running all over the floor. I don't have any places to put things since every available surface is taken up by fish tank, so everything is spilling out of drawers and cupboard doors. I have three big posters in my room, and each has a wall. Two are of men and one is of a grim reaper.

Surprisingly I wouldn't say my room ever looks femme, even when it's clean. But I think that's because aside from all of the mess it's actually very minimal. My room has clothes, games and tanks, that's it. I would have to say that's my biggest tip; cut back to only what you need being on display.

Nothing in my house implies either one gender or the other. Great interior design does not care about gender roles.

QuoteMinimise - no clutter - get rid of all ornamental stuff. Lay stuff out in a grid - straight lines everywhere.

My first reaction was lol rooms don't have gender, but on further thought I agree with this part. Girls are swirls and curves, boys are lines and angles, and I can see how that would show in a room.

My bedroom is also a living room, and is shared with a little girl, so it sends a jumble of signals.

Most of the boys I've known were more into music than most of the girls I've known, and I tend to associate stereos and equipment and instruments with maleness.

I'm looking around, and this is really an interesting question.

Btw hey Bane, a thousand thanks for the word 'floordrobe.'

-bows with a flourish-

You're very welcome. 

  thanks for the suggestions i need to take the curtains of my window there to proper. my other window has a blanket covering it wich i think is good. i wish i had dark wood furniture (not going to change that) its currently a light wood convention in here. i think i need to get rid of my ottoman and forget the word ottoman... also some dark paint would be better its pastel blue right now. i was thinking a burgundy or wine color it will go nice with all the blue stuff in my room. also i think i need a more masculine tissue box, why is it that all tissue boxes are pastel or covered in flower patterns?

Haha.  I've got a wooden tissue box (you put the actual box of tissues underneath it) with a cardinal sitting on a snow-covered evergreen branch painted on it.  Doesn't sound all that manly, but I won it in a prison raffle and it was made by one of the (male) inmates in the prison woodshop, so it's got an awesome story attached, at least.

Get a rug. A persian rug man, it really ties the room together.

you could get some 1:18th scale model cars, a cool car poster or two, maybe even a lava lamp in traditionally male colors. if you're into sports, like football, get some things that represent your favorite team. Video game memorabilia can be good too. I have a statue of Darth Malgus from Star Wars: The Old Republic, a Battarang from Gotham Asylum, and a Spartan helmet from Halo 3.

Well, the fastest way to masculinize a room is to throw ->-bleeped-<- everywhere and be a pig.  It's fun until you have to find something.  Then it sucks.

Guys room colors are just like guy colors for everything - greys, dark blues, navys, blacks... muted, very non-dramatic colors.  Guys rooms are dark.

Put up like a Grateful Dead poster or a Limp Bizkit or something rockish like that.  Nickelback works.

Also- Find a poster of a victoria's secret model or a playboy playmate and put her up over your bed.

Once again, I cannot emphasize this enough - make it look like a tornado blew into town... flannel shirts on the floor, cum-soaked underwear, dirty magazines, a video game controller, a bag of potato chips that expired like a year ago...

But ottoman has the word MAN in it!  I only associate ottomans with Dick Van Dyke, honestly.

And you could solve the tissue box problem by just keeping a roll of toilet paper around. That's what I do.

I don't think messy is what you have to do, but do tie the the room together with the theme of clutter, but don't over do it,
most single guys I know just have what they like in the room with them, it could be a stereo system, or a big TV with an Xbox under it, or scooter parts...
if they have nothing they like doing that uses items, then the room is mostly empty.
every guy I know that is not single lets the girlfriend decorate it when they move in together (they do this by just not caring about the looks at all).

And Otto is a german guy's name

Hey, I just moved into my new place a few months ago so I got to redecorate my room. It's not even done as I still need shelves, but I'm pretty proud of my "dude" room lol. I've got silver walls with black door/window frames and baseboards, black futon (no bed) with a set of red sheets and a set of black, black shag rug, flat screen on the wall, HOLLYWEED poster, and a LOVE poster made of guns and stuff, also a daily maxim girl calender on my desk and another monthly hot girl calender on my wall, a cool tatted up marilyn monroe print, New York and Hollywood skyline decals on the wall, free weights barely visible under my futon, my GoodWood necklaces are on display on my wall too, black window curtains, snowboard and skateboard in the corner, and a nice big bong on my desk . I'm also planning on building a loft bed over my futon cause the futon isn't always so comfy. I think that's pretty much it. But seriously, dude, just be you. It's your room and you should fill it with things you like or else you won't be happy hanging out there.
