1. You must establish yourself and your identity before creating your bachelor pad. This can be by conceptualizing color palettes, furniture concepts and room layouts. It is essential to introduce color as well as textures (not all leather furniture) to the space.
2. The ultimate bachelor pad must have a separation between the bedroom and sitting area, even if it is a studio apartment (ie. a bookcase).
3. Must have a bar/entertainment setup/display. This should be simple and clean, ideally made out of wood and metal or something along those lines. On the bar cart/bar you should display a nice tray with no more than 4 bottles which should be a different variety

5. Dining Table/Room is a necessity for entertaining/dinner as well as card playing.
6. Plants – Succulents essential, softens but also creates a more comfortable and inviting atmosphere
7. Invest in: Boxes to put things away (i.e remote controls). You want everything to loo neat and organized, Bedding, Small Library to show you have interest in something other than yourself!
8. One piece that makes a statement. You want to invest in one piece that really speaks to who you are and your style, something that will ignite conversation whether it is a chair, pillow or rug.
