The Hooker Furniture Bedroom Nest Theory Jay 62in King Upholstered Bed is as streamlined as a man’s bed should be.
Whether it’s minimalist or dramatic, industrial or contemporary, a man’s bedroom is the spot where his lifestyle shows. He can choose to surround himself with details of his lifestyle and you can see this in his choice of furnishings.
Of course, designing a room for a single guy means it should be screaming bachelor. Sharing the bedroom with a partner is different than merely designing it for one man’s use. So what are some stylish means to design a masculine bedroom?
Communication Is Key
Many interior designers would agree that a project for a man’s bedroom is deeply rooted in how the man lives his life. Does he like to travel? Is he a night owl rather than an early bird? Is he also the type that watches the TV before drifting off to sleep or is he the morning news watcher?
These will dictate how the room will eventually be laid out. Put more effort into designing the audiovisual equipment that will be placed there. Men should incorporate technology into their bedrooms which also, more often than not, also translate as their man caves.
Find the right TV cabinet or wall systems that you can set up for all your audiovisual needs.
Accommodation for Two?
Every bachelor thinks how long he will be living alone. Of course, it’s all a matter of when the partner will finally move in so you also have to consider how to redesign the room once this finally happens.
Will you place a full-length mirror? Are you even amenable to this or not?
Of course, you also have to consider the closet space when your better half finally moves in. Will you also add colors, textures, and patterns that are now non-existent? Assess whether you are ready for such changes.
If you’re uncertain about redesigning for the future, then just stick with the neutrals. In fact, guys are a lot more comfortable when they stick to colors such as black, white or gray. They are not comfortable with bold colors such as red or yellow.
Make the room cozy, though, while waiting for your loved one.
The Best Mattress or Nothing
A lot of guys travel for work and they are rarely home so it would help to set up a calm and restful bedroom so that when they are home, that they’d feel comfy and well-rested. You might not want to invest in a $30,000 mattress but you do get what this means – you have to find one that you can invest in that would provide the restful nights that you so long for.
When you finally get the best mattress, then be sure to couple this with good sheets. These are, after all, the ones that would directly touch your skin for many nights.
Display Who You Are
Men are amazing collectors. So if you happen to be one of these, then you can go ahead and shop for a display cabinet that will showcase all your stereo equipment or your football memorabilia. Just think about the stuff that you collect and how you would want these to represent who you are.
Be sure to incorporate this in your design but not in a way that your collection would end up overpowering the rest of the design elements.
A Place for Everything and Everything in Its Place
Every guy wants to have a place for all his stuff. So there should be a home for the remote control (the nightstand) and his shoes and clothing (the wardrobe), etc. Whatever interior design or even color palette that you end up choosing, just be sure to include ample storage and you have already designed for a man.

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.
