Snag a wool-based throw like this one from Faribault Woolen Mill to add texture to your apartment decor, and warmth to your guests. Make your house a home, throw a blanket on your couch or armchair.

Versanora Romanza Tripod Floor Lamp

via Wayfair.com

What is often overlooked when making a space feel warm and homey is lighting. Lighting is critical and can offer a warm glow, or a brighter focus-inducing feel based on the type of lamp, bulb, and positioning of the lamp. Table lamps offer great task lighting, while floor lamps like this one by Versanora offer great ambient lighting for a general warm glow. While finding the right bulb (in terms of wattage and overall color) might take a few tries, a warm free standing lamp looks great next to a couch, bookshelf or accent chair. So try adding some warm glow to your hang out spots and amp up the moodiness of your abode.

Lippa 20" Wood Side Table

via lexmod.com

Side tables are an understated and under used piece within most mens' apartments.

Perfect for holding a mid-century or modern minimalistic style lamp and some coasters, this side table is big enough for the essentials but not overly cumbersome as to take away from any statement pieces you may have in your space.

Fuck Yeah Menswear: Bespoke Knowledge for the Crispy Gentleman

This might be our favorite coffee table book we own. Not only is it hilarious and satirical as you can get, it also has a lot of actual knowledge tucked between its blatant scoffs at some of the ridiculousness that the mens fashion champions come up with. Complete with a glossary, breakdown of fashion archetypes, and a cargo pants full of fashion bro inspired poems, this book brings a smile and heavy exhale-through-the-nose type laughter every time we pick it up.

BC Burnings Dude, Breathe. Flag

via BcBurnings.com

We all could use a reminder every now and then (for some every day) to just pause and breathe through what ever it is we are going through. Whether its stress at work, tensions with the family, or spats with your significant other, taking a moment to focus on yourself and just breathe it all out is a great way to avoid exploding on unsuspecting pedestrians we encounter during our daily trails and tribulations. This flag serves as that reminder, and adds a great vibe to any room in your living space. Specs: Each flag from BC Burnings is coffee dyed for an antiqued look and they are hand painted, aka as authentic as you can get without happening on a really ahead-of-its-time flag in a barn in the middle of Minnesota.

Eskimos Without Igloos - Coffee Table Book

via onekingslane.com

Have you ever been in a house or apartment where everything in the space looked like it came out of a magazine? If you break it down, you'll notice the small details are what brings out a sense of awe and makes the whole scene seem impressive. Now it's time for you to impress others with your small apartment details. We like to have fun with this part, specifically regarding coffee table books. This book, Eskimos Without Igloos is an actual book about the development of the Sugluk people, but more importantly, its an interesting title and awesome aesthetic for a classic or modern decor. However, we strongly urge you not add anything to your apartment unless there is a specific place for it. Over crowding of things can cause internal turmoil, and a cluttered appearance is the opposite of awe-inspiring.

I want my blue sky - Canvas Painting

Adding to your walls is important to make your house feel put together. Canvas art is a perfect way to do so. Supporting small artists is also a great way to invest in the little guy and in return, you get pieces of art that are less likely to be owned by visitors. This piece, called I want my blue sky, has great contrast in coloring and an interesting flow from top to bottom, catching the eye for an extended period of time.
