I'm actually in the market for a new desk chair myself, an incentive for revamping the home office. Names like Eames, Herman Miller and Emco usually come to mind when thinking of seating but there are plenty of other options. Remember, like your bed for sleeping, a quality chair will keep your body healthy ergonomically, comfortable throughout all day long and most importantly, help your office look 100 percent better.

Clearly a pattern can't be claimed strictly for male or female use and sometimes a reference to the opposite sex can add an element of surprise to a space, but these patterns have a long-standing connection to the masculine, both in fashion and design.

Many a world traveler has honed his taste for adventure long before he could read a map, let alone drive a car. So when a wayfaring spirit finally settles into a home, it's only fitting that the space should recall journeys past, present, or only imagined.

Flatware is surprisingly diverse in style and design. But it's something we come into close contact with on a many-times-a-day basis so selecting the right flatware for you is actually a very important, highly-personal decision. If you're single, you might want something that suits yourself just so. If you have a family, it might need to be versatile enough for big man hands right down to a child's hands. And if it's just you and your better half, good luck. This could take a while.

Let’s be honest, guys have a reputation of being the messy one. The one who leaves his underwear on the floor. Who doesn't see the point of making the bed (it's just going to get unmade again). Who can't be bothered to put the cap back on. But we’d like to set the record straight and prove just how neat us guys can be.
