Well, the idea of a Bachelor Pad is one that’s exciting. Men of this century no
more want to compromise on their home decor needs just because they live
alone and this attitude gave rise to the concept of a modern Bachelor Pad.
There used to be a time when we used the word Bachelor Pad for a more
shabby set-up where men could live guilt-free. Also, Bachelor Pads no more
apply to a specific gender profile because more and more people, in general,
are drawn to having such a fun space to come home to after a long day’s
work and just chill with your ‘Homies’. It is true that over the years, this
phrase has definitely gained a new meaning and perspective!
So, if you’re someone who has great taste for a home but you live alone or
with a couple of your friends, but do not know where to start...this piece will
help you translate your style into a really fun yet elegant home.
Here a few amusing ideas to create as well as spice up your Bach-Pads:
PLAY-IN COOL
We know that with a concept such as this, a little goes a long way. You can
always showcase your sense of style and taste without going overboard.
Consider, simple art pieces or paintings that are pleasing to the eye and set
a relaxing tone to the space. These are a great way to light up the entrance
to your Bachelor Pad and its also a great way to keep things a little neutral
for any company you may be entertaining at home. So, look out for such
minimalistic additions that add a touch of elegance.
BE KEEN TO USE SOME GREEN
Nature can be your buddy when it comes to designing both indoor and
outdoor spaces in a Bachelor Pad. If you’re someone who loves the farm-
house vibe then, don’t be afraid to use your favourite plants and creepers to
achieve this artsy look. With the right light fixtures and furniture selection,
you can always transform your space into a warm haven. Imagine chilling out
with all your pals in such a space with some cold beers in front of a fireplace!
SIMPLE IS AMPLE
Although mixing certain contrasting colours does help you achieve a fun look
to the space, it’s always better to keep the colour palette somewhat simple. A
well-coordinated simple colour palette helps to create an elegant space that is
far more inviting when compared to spaces where punchy colours have been
used. The same rule can be applied to patterns you choose for the home as
well. Plain but intricate patterns help boost the style of the home. So, ride
the wave of simplicity!
BATHE IN STYLE
One of the most important spaces in your Bachelor Pad is the Bath. You can
always spice up this place with some amazing light fixtures and sleek
surfaces. You could also choose a darker colour palette for this area to
achieve a very spa-like/club-like vibe. Don’t be afraid to opt for sleek
surfaces such as a stone bathtub or similar flooring. And not to forget, you
can make this space more fun and functional by installing a mini bar cabinet.
So, you’re never too far away from that amazing glass of wine!
GADGETS AND MORE
Let’s be honest! No Bachelor Pad is complete without an amazing
entertainment centre for you and your buddies. Save up a considerable
amount of space to build an in house entertainment centre. Investing in
gadgets such as a nice TV and some gaming equipment will surely help you
relax at the end of a long work-day. And if you’re feeling a little fancier, you
can always splurge on a home-theatre setup. Believe us when we say, you
will not regret this spend!
POOL IS COOL
A pool can be a vital addition to your Bachelor Pad as well. It’s not a
necessity but its good to have one if you’re someone who enjoys taking a
dip in the water now and then or if you love hosting some amazing pool
parties for your peers. Depending on how much you plan on using it, you can
choose to invest in the pool size of your choice. With a little touch of green
and good lighting, this space can be used both to relax as well as party!
WARM FURNITURE AND LIGHTING
A Bachelor Pad needs to feel like a vacation away from home. To ensure,
you design a place that’s cozy and welcoming, we suggest you opt for more
woodsy furniture. And for the fabrics, choose materials such as velvet and
leather that only help achieve this warm tone but also scream elegance. As
far as the lighting goes, we do understand that functionality is equally
important and certain spaces of the home need am ample amount of
lighting. So, for the spaces where you plan on just chilling, select some warm
-tone light fixtures.
HOME OFFICE-WORK WHERE YOU PLAY
Although, the phrase Bachelor Pad applies to fun spaces, having a home
office can be a real game-changer. Having a space in your home where you
can sit undisturbed and work is important. You can always create such a
space by opting for a minimalistic office decor setup with a classy yet
functional work table and a simple carpet for the flooring.
BE BAR READY
Don’t worry, we did not forget this!!!
Now that you have almost all your elements ready, it’s time to stock up that
stylish bar space. This is a space that should speak for you so whatever your
vision might be, make sure to go all out. Be it a wooden flooring or marble
table-tops or a cave-like finish or just a highly functional bar fixture, this is
where you can play.
Who wants to go out to a bar when you have one in-house!
