PLAYING THE GAME / SETTING UP YOUR PAD part 2

Now "Hopefully" we have realized that your pad is an extension of you, where you are at, and where you are going.  So now we have to bring the pad up to where you are now .With the new and improved you, it is required a new and improved pad the best way to do this is go modern.  The main word in a modern bachelor pad is “MINIMALISM.”  Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is stripped down to its most fundamental features.  This works well into a modern bachelor pad because it allows smaller places to appear a lot larger with plenty of room for movement and is easy to maintain.  For the living / social room the first item you need is a lounge sofa.  Throw the budget out for this one because it is the centrepiece of the whole house.  Do not go for the overstuffed version that appear comfortable because they are not, look for the more modern sleek style with enough room for friends at super bowl time from here you will pick decor that will orbit around it and some minimalist pieces that can be moved from room to room when required.  The main code to choosing furniture should be comfort, and this should be upmost in your mind.

When people begin to decide about decorating or changing a room they think of colors.  Generally, they will choose colors they are partial to or of which correspond to pieces of furniture.  When searching for ideas to decorate a bachelor pad.  One idea, which is nearly always overlooked, is to decorate with two basic colors black and white.

Black and white when used in decorating creates pizzazz.  Every room can use a little black, black is a color that anchors and grounds a room.  Adding sophistication, black is definitely a color that demands attention.  Black works to add definition to the room’s focal point.  Ideas for decorating a room using black may include accessories such as light fixtures, trim, or furniture.  Black is definitely one color that stands out and makes a statement.

With that said, we should now look at some pieces, which are essential to designing a pad that will be the place to be every Saturday night.

Just to give and you an idea to start on …

When designing a modern interior, you should always look to the future.  The pieces should be moveable and blend in with any room, without sacrificing comfort or style.  Most importantly, they should have masculine qualities yet retain the sleek modern appeal.  This combination will give it its power, sexuality, and youthful charm.  The traits well related to millionaire playboys. 

Always have your pad as close as possible to the popular haunts, bars, shopping areas and launderette.
