A bachelor pad can be a relaxing and comfortable space that is great for entertaining, but it may be difficult to find decor that looks good together.Adding new decorations and furniture will give your place a new look if you want to make it look more organized.If you want to know how much space you have, look for pieces of furniture.If you want to fill up your wall space, try painting or hanging art.Look for areas where you can put other decorations and accessories.
Step 1: To make it look uniform, choose seating that has the same color scheme.
Black or brown leather is a good choice for chairs and couches if you want a classic bachelor pad aesthetic.To help keep your place open and relaxing, pick fabrics that are beige, grey, or brown.If you want your bachelor pad to look good and not feel cramped, make sure you get furniture that fits well in your space.Try to keep at least 1 couch and 1–2 chairs in the main living area of your bachelor pad so you have room for multiple guests.If you can, look for furniture sets that match each other.If you are on a budget, check local online markets for furniture.Many people sell their old furniture when they buy a new one.It could make your place seem less refined if you use outdoor furniture that has bright and annoying patterns.
Step 2: You have places to keep drinks if you place coffee and side tables near seating.
Try to find matching styles by using a neutral color, such as black, white, or brown.Square or rectangular tables are made from wood, glass, or metal.There are rounded wooden tables that have a classic feel.Make sure the tables are close to your furniture so you can use them when you need to.You can put small decorations on the side tables to make your bachelor pad feel like home.There are hidden storage options on some coffee tables where you can keep blankets, movies, or games out of sight.
Step 3: You should get a nice TV and sound system.
You need a TV that is large enough to fit in your space so you can see it clearly.If you want to see the TV at an eye level, keep it against the wall.You can get the best audio from the external sound system if you plug it into the TV.Attach surround sound speakers to speaker stands, mount them on the wall, or set them in an entertainment center.There are speakers that are great for playing music.It's possible to find speakers that you can connect to your phone with.If you don't have speakers, it's okay.
Step 4: A dining table is a good place to eat.
Look for a dining table and chairs that compliment the rest of the room.If you want to entertain and feed guests whenever you have someone over, choose a table with enough room for you and at least one other person.There is a dining table near the kitchen or living room area.If you want the option to make your table longer to entertain more guests, opt for an extendable dining table with a leaf insert.It is possible to find many tables and chairs in dining sets.
Step 5: If you want to raise your mattress off the ground, use a sturdy bed frame.
It can make your bedroom look messy if you leave your mattress on the floor.You don't need to buy a box spring mattress if you find a slotted frame that matches the rest of your room.You can get into bed from either side of the mattress if you put the frame against the wall.If you want to add a decorative touch to your bedroom, you should look for a frame that has a headboard.If you need to save space, you can put the frame against the wall.If you want to hide the space underneath your mattress, put a bed skirt on the frame.
Step 6: You can organize your space with shelves or hidden storage.
If you have a lot of space on the floor, you should buy bookshelves, drawers, or shelving units.If you want to be able to reach the things you use most frequently, you need to organize your storage shelves so they have a clean appearance.They can be used to store books, knickknacks, or board games.If you don't want the items on your shelf visible, look for organization cubes.They don't take up as much floor space if you have drawers or storage containers that are easy to fit in a closet.You can try to get shelves that are decorative as well as storage.
Step 7: If you want to work from home, look for a desk and chair.
You can get a desk that has a simple aesthetic or design that is similar to the other furniture in your home, and set it up near an outlet so you can plug in a computer.Pick an office chair that is comfortable to sit in for long periods of time and keep it at your desk.If your work surface gets too cluttered with items, try to find a desk with drawers or storage space.If you ever want to sit down and eat with guests, you need to clear the dining table.If you need additional seating, you can use your desk chair.
Step 8: You can keep any liquor or drinkware in a bar unit.
If you want to move the bar unit around to better entertain guests, opt for a cart that has wheels so you can roll it around your place.Try to keep a bar cabinet between your kitchen and living space.You can easily grab something to drink from the cart if you store liquor bottles or drinkware there.It is not necessary to get a bar unit if you do not want one.
Step 9: Each room has balance if you distribute your furniture throughout the home.
It's a bad idea to put all of your furniture in a single room since it will make the rest of the house look empty.If you want to feel comfortable in your home, spread your furniture and decor throughout it.It is important that you have enough space for you to walk around your home.You should keep enough seating in the rooms where you plan on entertaining.Instead of keeping a ping pong table in your living room, you could keep it in a spare bedroom and use it as a game room.
Step 10: Change the look of your space by painting your walls.
Light colors, such as grey, beige, or light blue, will make your space look more open.If the colors of your furniture clash, make sure you use the right colors.Try to make the walls in each room darker in color to add more interest to the space.Dark colors can make your place feel more enclosed.Since they could get overwhelming to look at, don't use colors that are too bright.Paint over bricks or other natural wall surfaces to give them a striking appearance.You can leave them exposed for a rustic look.If you can afford it, try painting your ceilings lighter than the walls to make them appear taller.
Step 11: There are art prints and movie posters in the living area.
Try to find art prints that have similar color schemes so they don't clash with one another.Posters that are the same size make the room feel balanced.To protect them from damage, keep the posters in matching frames.Posters and frames can be found in big box stores.Many art prints are in standard poster sizes.To give your room a gallery-like feel, hang the posters in a straight line across the wall.Since bachelor pads are known for looking more refined, avoid hanging posters that have lewd or graphic imagery.You could make your own art prints if you're an artist.
Step 12: If you want to make your place seem more lived in, hang personal photos.
If you want your photo prints to have a cohesive look when you put them on your walls, try to get matching frames for each of them.Taking pictures of their spacing and layout will help you remember them.Setting a larger photo in the middle of smaller ones can be used.If you want to make a more freeform design, you can attach the photos to the wall with poster putty.You can put framed photos on table surfaces if you don't have enough room to hang them.
Step 13: If you want the art to pop from the wall, choose paintings on canvas.
A piece of art that has an accent color or similar color scheme to the rest of the decor in your home is a good choice.The center of the artwork should hang at eye level so people can easily see it.If you are placing art over furniture, keep the bottom of the piece above the top feature.If you hang it over a piece or over an empty wall, use art that is about 23 the length of furniture.If you want to make a gallery wall with more than one piece of art, leave about 6 inches between them.It is possible to make your space feel more lived in by hanging art.Keep in mind that you want to hang multiple art pieces.Since they can make your bachelor pad seem less sophisticated, avoid paintings that look gaudy or overly showy.
Step 14: If you want more storage, use floating shelves.
The floating shelves in your room should be the same colors as the rest of the furniture.If you want to grab items or change decorations on the shelves, make sure they are at a height where you can easily reach them.Books and candles can be kept in the living room or in a kitchen, as long as they make sense to store there.Make sure the shelves are not extended so far that someone can easily get into them.Try to keep the items on your shelves in the same color scheme.Stack items on the shelves to make them look taller.
Step 15: Use blankets and throw pillows to make seating more comfortable.
Throw pillows can add a decorative touch to your space and make it seem more inviting.Solid colors or patterns add an accent to your room.You can drape blankets over the backs of your furniture or fold them in a basket nearby so they are easy to access.If you have a piece of art with some red in it, you may want to get a red throw pillows and a dark brown blanket.
Step 16: Light fixtures can be used to add accents to your rooms.
If you want to make your rooms feel warmer, try to get lamps that have soft white light and a clean, simple appearance.Short table lamps are better for table space.If you need to fill a corner in your room or create an accent piece, look for a floor lamp that has a single bulb on top.They stand out more if they have a different color or finish.Try to keep the light fixture in the same location so they don't clash with one another.
Step 17: Hang curtains in front of your windows for added privacy.
Determine the width of your windows and get curtain rods for them.extendable rods that fit inside the window well or set length bars that attach to the outside are available.The drapes should be long enough to reach past the bottom of the windows.When it's too bright outside or you want more privacy, keep the curtains closed.If you keep the curtains closed, you can help insulate your home.You should not use towels or bed sheets as makeshift curtains since they won't look as nice on your wall.
Step 18: If you want to make your room more interesting, place rugs on the floor.
You can choose patterned rugs or ones with solid colors.If you can, get a rug that is large enough so it extends past the edges of your furniture.You can fit smaller rugs underneath a table or accent piece.It's a good idea to have rugs underneath large pieces of furniture or inside your entryway.If you want to dry off your feet when you get out of the shower, you can get bath mats.Regular rugs may not be able to handle water.
Step 19: Plants can be kept throughout your home to give it a fresh look.
Succulents, ficus, pothos, and rubber plants are low maintenance so you don't have to worry about them as much.If you want to use the plants as a window dressing, place them in decorative pots or planters.When the medium feels dry, make sure to water the plants.Rabbit's ear, spider plant, peace lilies, and bamboo are low maintenance plants.You can grow fresh plants in your kitchen window if you want to use them in cooking.Plants that need a lot of upkeep should not be bought since they require constant trimming.
Step 20: If you plan on entertaining others, get game tables or board games.
If you can keep a ping pong or pool table in your space, you will be able to play with your guests.Buying board games that you can keep on a shelf or in a closet will give you more options for fun things to do at home if you don't have a large game table.If you want a game that doesn't take a lot of space, try a dartboard.The wall where you hang it should not be damaged by the darts.
