Being an eligible bachelor can be enormously fun. But you need the right props. Nobody is going to be impressed by a sub-par apartment or poor interior design.
Fortunately, we’ve written this blog to help. Here, we discuss the anatomy of the perfect ultimate luxury bachelor pad so you can indulge your guests – and get them to indulge you right back.
Choose A Desirable Location
When it comes to bachelor pads, location is everything. You want to live somewhere that impresses everyone you invite over.
The best pads in the world are all penthouse perches. These sit atop tall towers, providing stunning views of city lights, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, roof-top BBQs, and panoramic observation decks.
If you’re not much of a city boy, there are plenty of other options. The next-best location is beachside or overlooking the waterfront. Being able to enjoy swimming, watersports, and beach-lounging from your backdoor can be a fantastic way to entertain guests and ensure they are never bored.
Finally, if you are a city slicker and love the built environment, you could get a pad in a gated community or urban oasis. These remain connected to the pulse of city life, but omit many of the negative features of being in a large city, such as the safety issues. Palm-lined streets and guards at the gatehouse are always impressive.
Transform Your Interiors Into An Open-Plan Playground
While open-plan designs are bad for offices, they are great for bachelor pads. Getting rid of walls gives your apartment a sense of freedom, space, and love of life. Having the kitchen in the same space as the living room lets you talk to guests while preparing food or wine.
It also gives you more space to sprawl out. You have space to play games and install equipment that you simply don’t get with closed-plan alternatives.
Open-plan is also chic, modern, and trendy. As a bachelor, it shows that you’re on the cutting edge and unafraid to experiment and do things a little differently.
Curated Comfort
At the same time, you don’t want to neglect comfort. Creating personalized spaces that offer proper ergonomics and materials is essential.
For example, you could invest in marble dining table and chair sets to exude a sense of opulence while providing guests with plenty of lumbar support when they eat at your table. You can get tailors to construct seating to your specifications so you have plenty of room to sprawl in the evenings and play video games or Netflix and chill.
Make sure that any designs you choose reflect your personality and interests. Don’t go with your interior designer’s first suggestion. You want something that suits you.
Add Your Gourmet Kitchen
In addition, you can’t make a compelling bachelor pad without adding a gourmet kitchen. These provide you with all the tools you need to show off your cooking skills to fawning guests.
Make sure you have:
- Easily accessed refrigerated drawers where you can access fresh herbs
- Plenty of high-end appliances to reduce labor and make your life more convenient
- Sleek marble or granite countertops
- A walk-in pantry with plenty of room for all your vegetables
- Lots of storage space for ingredients in your cupboards
The more equipment you have, the better able you will be to create the meals you want. This way, you can avoid having a mediocre impact on your guests’ taste buds.
Turn The Bedroom Into A Master Retreat
The bedroom of a bachelor pad is the most intimate area of your home, for obvious reasons. Therefore, you want to turn it into a relaxing retreat that meets all your guests’ requirements.
Ideally, you want to style it as a spa – somewhere guests can go for relaxation and rejuvenation. Black-out curtains are a must, as is a king-size bed for fun and frolicking, and an ensuite bathroom close for convenience. Ensure you use fine linens and professional designers to arrange the room to help it make better visual sense.
Automate Everything You Can
You also want to automate your bachelor pad as much as possible. The more work you can hand over to machines, the less you have to do yourself.
Start by installing a cutting-edge smart home security system. Ensure you can control your home using your voice or your smartphone to make the environment seem even cooler and higher tech. Add fun features that help you and also impress your guests.
You should also include hidden gems, like pop-up TVs and aquariums built into the walls. Impress guests with moving bookcases or bars that pop out at the push of a button. Include as many of these elements as you can.
