Basic but not Boring
Basic and boring and two very different things. Introducing patterns in your bedding can be the perfect touch to completing a modern man's room.
- Take our Arthur Pinstripe, for example; The sleek stripes create just the right amount of visual interest while maintaining a polished, tailored feel. It’s modern, sophisticated, and effortlessly stylish, exactly the kind of upgrade that turns a simple bed into a statement piece. The pinstripe design adds a hint of dimension, giving your bedding a more curated, intentional look without sacrificing elegance or the minimalist appeal that so many modern men prefer
Sometimes going slightly bigger with the patterns is not a bad thing. Minimalism doesn’t mean you have to stick to flat, plain bedding with no personality. In fact, introducing subtle patterns into your bedding can be the perfect way to elevate the look while still keeping everything refined, clean, and masculine.
Patterns add visual depth, break up monotony, and bring character into the space without overwhelming the quiet luxury aesthetic that defines a modern man’s room.
- The modern man’s bedding should feel simple, not plain and minimal, not sterile. Ever Lasting's plaid bedset has the color palette of the modern man and is a memorable, cozy piece.
Explore our Minimalist Bedding Collection to build a clean, grounded foundation that sets the tone for a modern, uncluttered space.
Aesthetic Items for the Modern Man
Sleek, Modern, Elegant
If you are someone who prefers sleeker, cleaner, and more luxurious options, then you’re already leaning into the aesthetic many modern men gravitate toward..
- Choosing darker colors, such as the Ethan Minimalist Bedding Set in black, is a great option. Using a black bedding set is a very modern and bold choice that aligns with quiet luxury.
- However, it is important to note that if you decide on a black/dark bedding set, you need to find other ways to warm up the space. For example, adding white throw pillows.
True luxury never sacrifices comfort, and making sure your bed offers the perfect balance of both is essential for the modern man. A well-designed room isn’t just about how it looks, it’s about how it feels. The modern man values a space that supports rest, reflects personal style, and maintains a sense of effortless sophistication.
- Pinstripes are a very modern pattern that blends in very well with modern aesthetics and styles.
- Choosing a bedding set like this demonstrates care and attention to detail, which is so important when developing your space.
Discover the Quiet Luxury Collection for understated textures and premium fabrics that elevate your room without ever feeling loud.
Essentials for the Modern Man
Clean, Comfortable & Modern
Although darker colors like greys and blacks are very sleek and modern, color can be just as impactful in a contemporary space. Not every modern man views modern style as strictly black and white. In fact, incorporating color, when done thoughtfully, can elevate the room while keeping the aesthetic clean, refined, and masculine.
- This two-tone bedding (Harrison Double Gauze Bedding Set / Brown) is a good way to introduce color in an elegant manner. This helps maintain minimalism and cleanness, which are core to this aesthetic
No matter who you are, comfort is always key in a bedroom. Choosing materials, colors, and patterns that reflect that is important for everyone, including the modern man.
- Plaid bed sets tend to be popular during the colder seasons because they contribute to cozy and warm feelings. This Eleanor Vintage Minimalist Plaid Bedding Setbed set indroduces plaid in a subtle and sleek way and it made of breathable cotton which makes it a great comfortable option.
Browse our Neutral Essentials Collection to layer warm, earthy tones that bring depth and comfort into a masculine space.

Finishing Touches
Choosing the right bedding is important, but it isn't everything. For the modern man, adding luxurious, and cozy touches are equally as important. They can elevate your room significantly.
- One example of how to do this is by using throw blankets. These introduce new textures and tones into your space to make it more interesting and memorable. The Caleb Fleece Throw Blanket in Gray is the epitome of quiet luxury. It can add depth to your space that you don't realize is missing until you have it.
Something that is important in every room of your house is lighting, especially in the room of a modern man.
- Lighting doesn't have to be boring, it doesn't have to be a night light you've had for years, or a ceiling light. It can be a key design choice that elevates your room more than you would expect. Not everyone thinks to invest in lighting, but the payoff is significant.
-
The black and red lights seen above are perfectly aligned with the modern, minimal, and clean aesthetic that many men seek.
