   Home theater has had a major impact on sofa options – and it may be one reason a new sofa tops many men's furniture wish list. With its generous rolled arms and soft, loose back pillows, the Stowe sofa from Norwalk Furniture offers plenty of room for a guy's guests. The oversized ottoman complements the curved front of the sofa and can double as footrest and coffee table. In the fabric/leather combination shown, the Stowe can demonstrate a fellow's home fashion savvy, too. In fabric, this sofa retails for around $1,750. With the nailhead trim and leather/fabric combination shown, however, it will sell for up to $4,500. (www.norwalk-furniture.com).
2. PALECEK
   Even men who are actively involved in making decorating decisions elsewhere in the home often leave the dining room for their wives. The whole notion of "formal dining" connotes a certain fussiness many men would just as soon avoid. But this modern square table from Palecek, with its simple lines and interesting natural texture, solves any dining room dilemma with ease. Made of crushed bamboo veneer over plantation hardwood, it can be used alone in a small dining area or coupled with a second table to seat six in a larger area. Its fashion appeal is enhanced when paired with Palecek's sleek Hudson chair, shown here in brown, but available in black and red, as well. Suggested retail on the table is $798, while the leather chair sells for around $396. (www.palecek.com).
3. VANGUARD
   With its handsome, angular frame, the Madison bed in the Michael Weiss collection by Vanguard Furniture provides the perfect anchor for this modern bedroom. (Estimated retail is $2,798.) The generously proportioned Bruno entertainment armoire ($3,078) is configured to house a television as well as store clothing. Add the Monaco nightstand ($1,470) to complete the look.
