The bachelor pad ; A modern approach

16 Jun

dramatic color

 The freedom that you get from designing, decorating and living in your own space is terrific. I went to a married friend’s house and found him living in a house full of potpourri and flower-printed doilies. Every room except for the basement and garage was decorated by the wife who freely expressed her likes and personality. I saw his old college beer signs, sports team memorabilia and bikini posters rolled up and thrown in the corner of the garage. Another friend’s wife had given their master bathroom a duck theme with duck bathroom mats, toothbrush holders, soap dispensers and shower curtains. It’s your choice, you can have that or you can have a bathroom with “dogs drinking beer, smoking cigars and playing poker” theme.

Unlike married friends, you have the ability to decorate your apartment the way you want. But be careful, don’t make the same mistakes that others have. In a bachelor friend’s apartment, I found it full of tacky stuff. He wanted so bad to make his apartment look presentable to women that he bought boring art prints that meant nothing to him and plastered them all over his walls. He spent hundreds of dollars on vases and generic nick knacks to put on the bookshelves and coffee table that had no story or history to them other than being shipped from China to his local home decor store in a large shipping crate. There is nothing wrong with buying something new, just make sure that you really like it and that it makes sense with it’s surroundings.

make it your own

Look for meaningful things at your parents’ house and ask for items that mean something to you. Get out your old favorite movie posters and framed them to use in your casual living space. Dig out personalized autographed picture or put that Dr. Seuss book collection that you loved so much as a kid in your bookcase. Framed pictures of you and your friends make it your space. When each item means something to you, this will invoke an interesting conversation. Don’t spend hundreds of dollars on worthless over priced items just to impress women who come to your apartment. Instead take items that you already own and care about and decorated your apartment with them. Add in new items to make your space feel updated and new, yet still personal. Women will be quite receptive to you when you reveal the real you.

The bachelor pad that features a clean modern design makes use of space in a unique way with space saving and multitasking design ideas. This space shows how modern design can be both high in style and big in personality. Although the bachelor pad space is undeniably masculine, elements of warmth and comfort can be consciously integrated by reflecting the owner’s personality and interests onto the design. A dramatic palette of chocolate brown and warm grays renders the space and the complementing textures of wood and leather contrasted with stainless steel and other metallic accents, creating a cozy environment for relaxing while, at the same time, being a chic space for entertaining friends.
The bachelor pad shelves If you have a lot of books, instead of storing the them inside closed cabinets, showcase them as an integral part of the interior design. Different types of built-in open shelves can be added throughout the unit to keep the books organized while making them a part of the interesting composition of the interiors.

The most important element of design is to make the space your own. Think about what you like as far as color, texture, and shape goes. Once you have honed in on these details, then think about function. Make sure that your space works for your needs and comforts. Buy furniture carefully so as not to overcrowd but to keep a cohesive look.
There can be shelves fitted above the windows, with a customized step ladder, to maximize the space. Drawers built under the ledges further improve the functionality of the space. A dramatic palette renders the space warm and cosy, yet exciting. Add complementing textures of wood and leather contrasted with stainless steel and other metallic accents to create a cozy environment for relaxing while, at the same time, being a chic space for entertaining friends. Make use of the space in a unique way with space saving and multitasking design ideas. The use of ottomans and coffee tables with storage is a good example. consider built in book shelves.This space shows how modern design can be both high in style, big in personality and extremely functional.
A bachelor pad is not what it used to be. The ‘ultimate bachelor’s pad’ is the idealized living space for the ultra-modern, trendy man. It is the supreme fantasy home; a fortress of comfortable solitude stylized by the latest in luxury living and top-of-the-line gadgets. Of course every man’s pad will be different to illustrate his unique tastes and character but there are some essentials that are universal in defining the ‘ultimate bachelor pad.’

A view is pivotal in defining the ultimate pad. An awe-inspiring view can leave visitors breathless and instill a sense best viewof power or control over destiny. The view could be scenic nature with roaming hills and grand-esque mountains or perhaps it may be of an urban skyline, over looking the city. The point is that the view should be both powerful and inspiring, this often means that the view is more important in terms of luxury, than the actual location of the home.

A clean place is a must. It is hard to respect any place, no matter how well designed it may be, if it is dirty. Hiring help to clean is often a good idea. When hiring a maid you need to make the choice on whether you will hire an individual or a service? There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach. With an individual, you can get referrals and can ensure that only one person will be in your home. However, hiring an individual means there is no replacement when your maid gets sick.

Some fancy gadgets will help give your space a customize feel. A wine cooler is a good example of this. Custom made is always the way to go, but if you are looking for something pre-built then a refrigerated wine cabinet from Marvel Industries may just be the way to go. A Proper wink rack should balance bottles of bubbly at just the right angle to keep corks moist and should have a slide-out wine rack which can hold at least five bottles in the compartment. Any decent refrigerated model should have room for around 60 12-ounce cans.

The furnishings give the space it’s ultimate personality. A luxury no guy should be without is a shag rug. A Contemporary Shag rug is more than just an style icon of the seventies but when properly picked it can add a luxurious and organic quality to the flooring. We recommend you shop in our Rug Store for some beautiful unique rugs, some with the 3 inch-high pile option. These are some of the most comfortable and stylish shag rugs we have come across. Make sure that you place the rug where it will give you the most impact, like the living room or master bedroom.

Rising property prices are not deterring a whole new breed of design-conscious single men from getting a place of their own. When it comes to living, these men expect only the best. A nice car is no longer enough and a designer apartment equivalent of a Ferrari. Owning a bachelor pad offers a higher social status to the owner. It is no wonder why the thought appeals even more to the highly social conscious male today.

Sophisticated apartments are springing up to meet the demands of these males who want their pad in the shortest time possible. These men are affluent and independent, individual, self assertive and fashionable and they look for the best in life that is available.

Gone were the days of old food and dirty dishes sitting in the sink and clothing strewn about the furniture and floors. Goodbye to the dirty and beaten down couch picked up on the road side, the television set that works some of the time, the refrigerator that doubles as a beer keg, down to the bikini posters on the walls. You can put those in the walk in closet. The 21st century Man has evolved into sophistication and it shows in his living space. It is unique. It is different. It is you.

It is unique. It is different. It is you.

    The all clad stainless steel fry pan along with a complete set of durable, even heating cookware will give you the best tasting and most satisfying cooking results imaginable. There’s really nothing like an all clad stainless steel fry pan for the kitchen. Way better than teflon.

    You don’t paint a wall down it. You can select an entirely different color and paint that long wall thus turning it into an accent. You change colors when there is a natural complete boundary……different wall.
