Black leather represents a refined look for your bachelor pad.
As a man, your home is your castle. In turn, how you choose to decorate your bachelor pad can either make or break your social life. Hooked-up bachelor pads should convey manliness --- with a touch of style. Decorating your home begins with designing a living space that is both neat and functional. From there, you can add personal flair.
Instructions
1. Clean your apartment thoroughly. Your kitchen and bathroom are most important and should remain spotless. Use rags, scrubs and multi-purpose cleaners to treat exposed surfaces. Fold all of your clothes and organize them into drawers and closet spaces. Remember to vacuum the carpet regularly with powder to keep your place smelling fresh.
2. Stock your refrigerator and cabinets with snacks, treats and refreshments for the guests. Keep an assortment of pretzels, plain chips and ice cream on hand. Beverages, water, juice, soda, beer and wine can cover all situations.
3. Purchase a fashionable couch to serve as the centerpiece of your bachelor pad's living room. To keep things simple, a full black leather couch makes a solid statement. For contrast, you can arrange cherry wood tables around the couch. Consider keeping your tables, hardwood floors and curtains in all neutral shades for a tempered, sophisticated look. Place a few books and magazines on your coffee table for reading material.
4. Install a flat-panel television and entertainment center at the front of your living room. A glass and metallic entertainment center makes for a sleek look. The entertainment center should have space for a DVD player and video game console. Use the entertainment unit to showcase your collection of movies.
5. Set up speakers and sound systems in every room of your bachelor pad. Play instrumental music, if you don't have a feel for what is exactly appropriate to set the tone for the evening. Keep the heavier music for when you're more comfortable with your friends or guests.
6. Buy a queen-size bed for your bedroom. You don't want a bed that's too small, or a bed that takes up too much space in your bedroom.
7. Accessorize your home with plants, pictures or artwork. Each accessory should convey something about your personality, while also serving as a good conversation piece.
