A bachelor pad is a sacred place. It’s the man’s kingdom—a sacred space away from the rest of the world, where we can entertain, relax, and plot our global domination. With this in mind, the bachelor pad must be comfortable and functional. Havenly can help with that.

Furniture 

Without furniture, your pad is nothing but an empty room. Make it functional—you live alone but will probably entertain friends, family, and the special people you meet along the way. Places to sit are important: a stylish couch and matching chair should do. Don’t forget an accompanying coffee table, you’ll need a place to set your remote control and drinks down. Don’t forget the coasters.

If the bachelor pad is your kingdom, the bed is your throne. This is where you spend one third of your life. Don’t skimp on the bed or bedding. Make sure your bed is big, comfortable, and matches the style of your home.

Art

Your wall decor express your personality, so really make it shine. Love music? Framed records will do. Love movies? Framed movie posters are a great go-to. Love a certain geographic location? Maps and art featuring landmarks in your favorite city are sure to give your space some flare.

Floors

Have carpet? Great! Make sure that it’s comfortable, clean, and matches the style of your home. Have hard wood floors? Now we have to get creative. Runners, rugs, and other floors coverings allow you to personalize your space. A giant rug in the living room will make sure you stay comfortable on those cold nights. A cool floor covering under your kitchen table will separate it from the rest of the room and set the area a part.

Gadgets 

No bachelor pad is complete without gadgets–lots of gadgets. Your living room has a plenty of places to sit and place your drinks on, now it’s time to entertain. A big TV and sound system will make this area of your home the epicenter of entertainment. Movie nights, streaming concerts, or listening to a new album, this will be your arena. Cleverly placed Bluetooth speakers will allow you to keep the entertainment going, no matter what room you’re in.

How To Get This Done

You know your style, you know what colors you like— but you still need to put this all together. Sure, you can visit to a several furniture stores and then attempt to put a bunch of single pieces together—trying to piece together a living space with iPhone photos taken on the fly. You could also hire Havenly. Take a quick survey, talk to a designer, choose your favorite samples, and Havenly will put together your dream home. The best part? All of the furniture is delivered to you without multiple trips to furniture stores filled with salespeople pulling you into fifty different directions.
