Decorate Your Bachelor Apartment With Style
Sometimes a bachelor apartment is a temporary gig or your very first home away from home. That doesn’t mean that the decor isn’t important. For a calm atmosphere, a comfortable home and a place you’ll love bringing visitors to, decorate your bachelor pad with style.
Neutral colors are the best choice. Stick to solids in brown, blue and taupe for the best impact. You might be renting and not able to paint or wallpaper, but don’t despair. Add color with framed prints and art work. Express yourself, but remember to be tasteful. Hang large prints on empty walls and smaller frames in groups.
The open concept of a bachelor apartment means that all of your furniture is in view. Choose your bed wisely. A Murphy bed will fold away when not in use and a captain’s bed has convenient storage drawers underneath. Shelves and cabinets near your computer workstation desk keep it clutter-free. Clever furniture that serves two purposes is essential for a bachelor pad. Things like ottomans and coffee tables with hidden storage are perfect.
It’s essential to keep your stuff organized. Having clutter takes away from even the most stylish decor, and a clean, tidy place with simple decorating will steal the show every time. Make sure everything is in its place, from the front door all the way to the back. Your brown boot and court shoe should be in the closet and your coffee cups should be tucked away in the cupboard. With good organization you’ll feel calm and restful in your home.
Decorate the kitchen in neutral colors as well. Even if you can’t change out counters and fixtures, see if it’s possible to give cabinets a repainting. Pick up placemats and runners for spot color and choose unique open storage like funky bowls or canisters.
Don’t forget to keep it all clean. Without maids and private chefs this will be left up to you, but with some planning you can handle it all. Tackle cleaning in small tasks instead of leaving it to build up. Store all of your cleaning supplies in one place under the bathroom sink or in the kitchen cabinets. Write down a schedule if that will keep you accountable. Cleaning up your home will allow the gorgeous decor to shine through.
Simple window treatments are best in your small space. Roller shades in neutral tones are light weight and work well. Stay away from drapes that take up too much of the limited space. Go for sheers if you want length or simple blinds for practicality.
When you invest in these easy decorating tips you will end up with a living space you can relax in and be proud of. It’s well worth it.
