Gone are the days of mattresses on the floor and beer bottles doubling as décor. Across social media, the 'boy apartment' trend is changing the way people view the design choices of young men for the better, but I think anyone could benefit from embracing the surprisingly sophisticated new aesthetic.
But what is a 'boy apartment', you ask? Simply put, it's a clean, well-curated, and personal space that rewrites the old-fashioned stereotype that guys don't care about style. "The interior design trend is a great step forward for men and their living spaces," says Amy Granger of Scandinavian Designs. "It’s a shift away from the outdated man cave idea, focusing more on comfort and style without all the clutter... it’s about time men’s spaces got the same love and attention as any other well-designed home."
