Give your bachelor pad life

A bachelor pad may be one of the coolest places in the world to the average male, but just because you're living the single life doesn't mean your interior design should suffer. By creating a space that is both manly and female friendly, you'll be a hit with both your guy and girl friends (and maybe even your mom).

One way to tackle this idea is to incorporate rich elements alongside softer ones. Freshhome.com recently created a space that featured a neutral toned over-sized couch, which was placed in a room with dark painted walls and industrial components like stainless steel appliances and accessories. By adding the light and airy furniture piece to this otherwise more modern room, the vibe was both modern and comfortable.

Another way to keep your bachelor pad up-to-par would be to incorporate window treatments that are luxurious and user-friendly. In this case, the use of roman shades may work, as the numerous available colors and fabrics make it an easy option to coordinate into a room. If you're going for a more natural feel, bamboo shades are both environmental friendly and help to bring the outdoors in.

With these simple steps, you're bound to have the bachelor pad of your dreams and the capability to entertain in style.
