Decorating an apartment is difficult, especially for guys. Men often get a bad rep for having no taste whatsoever.

But that’s not true at all. But given the reputation, they are afraid to even try because they know there is no use and that it will end up looking like…. well, like a guy decorated it.

But that fear is irrational, because as it turns out, men do have good taste, and the “Male Living Space” subreddit is the best proof. Members share photos of their apartments, plans, and visions, and they can get advice on how to proceed, solve particular problems and decorate.

Of course, there are plenty of photos where people show what they’ve accomplished when it comes to designing and decorating their space. Our personal favorites are “then and now” photos because they perfectly depict how imaginative and committed people can be.

Experts advise that we should always try to furnish our homes in a way that makes us truly happy because it's impossible to impress everyone. And these men created a perfect balance between cozy and beautiful.

We have selected 50 of the best photos, and we know you are going to find them wonderful and inspiring. Enjoy.

Dating and relationship expert Dan Bacon from The Modern Man says that how a man's home looks and how he acts can send completely different signals. People who come over to visit can get wrong first impressions from the furnishing and the decorations.

"A man’s home is part of what people initially use to judge his social status and character. However, how he behaves and acts with the people who come over to his place says so much more about him.

A man might have a perfectly tidy, well-designed, and stylish home, but be very nervous and try too hard to impress people who come over. So, rather than seeing him as a cool, confident, successful man they can admire and look up to, most people just perceive him as a nervous, insecure guy with a nice place.

Alternatively, they may see him as a guy who tries hard to please others with material things because he's insecure about himself and doesn't feel good enough in their eyes."
