As much as men want to be around women, there are moments when they have to retreat to their own hideaway. Setting up the ultimate bachelor pad is easy with the right elements in place. While you would want to fill up all the available space with gaming consoles, foosball game, and the biggest flatscreen TV; it may not be wise to cram all these stuff to your dwelling.

Bachelor Pad Essentials

Any bachelor pad is need of a lot of space – not the kind of space that you ask your spouse or girlfriend but – the type that offers ample square footage. Whether you would want to have a section for your jersey collection or a special spot for an extra television, enough space is what you need.

Again, do not pack the room with non-essentials. Your dream crib might be filled with gadgets and hordes of TV but this simply won’t work in real life. Now get your feet to the ground and looking at what would really work.

A man needs ample space when he moves about, right? So, have enough space left even when you have brought in the recliner and the 70” TV. That extra fridge, pool table or gaming area should be accessible (‘course it’s pointless to stuff the room with these things if you cannot even access them).

What would be a bachelor pad without your personal items? Adding that personal touch will make the bachelor pad truly your property. This can be a signed baseball, framed photographs of your travels, or your prized gaming console right by the corner; whatever you decide to bring in, just make sure that every little bit represents you.

Bring in all the fun stuff. No bachelor pad is complete without entertainment stuff such as the ping pong table, foosball, DVD player complete with the latest DVDs, and pool tables. Be sure to add some recliners if you are looking forward to inviting more guests over. This should complete everyone’s movie theatre experience.

The bachelor pad is not just a place for rest but also a place to entertain people – do not forget that.

Don’t think too much about what other people would tell you or what they would think about your design preference. This is your domain – your mi casa – so do with it as you deem fit.

Before you default to blue or black – yeah , you’re a man so these are the only colors to choose from, right?

Wrong!

Any uninteresting color should not find its way to your new bachelor pad. Dwelling places such as yours is a hub of entertainment, where guests can enjoy when they come over. Have colorful walls. The color does not automatically mean that you should paint the walls with bright colors. You can actually use colors on accents, even the sports memorabilia that you have collected over the years. Whether you prefer soccer, baseball or basketball; stylizing your home is all up to you. Add some more manly stuff such as newspapers, helmets, and posters to complete the look.

Another way to elevate the colors in your bachelor pad is to find the right textures to balance them. Wooden walls, ceiling and floor could make any bachelor pad more welcoming. There is no need to cover such lovely walls, in fact, they don’t need much sprucing up.

If you have any other wall material, then you can recycle some wooden pallets and use them to cover the walls and make them more exciting. Stain the pallets and use them on only one wall and you have just set up an interesting accent wall – one that you would need to artistically explain to your friends and loved ones.

Design your bachelor pad however you like. If you enjoy hunting, then the taxidermist if your best friend. If you are an artist at heart, then paintings and other artworks should be the main attraction. ‘Love to travel? Framed maps and black and white photographs should complete the look of your home.
