The home entertainment zone is ever present in a bachelor pad, so get it right with enough stylish storage to house all your gadgets, and always hide away ugly wiring. If you’re not a collector of knickknacks, textured wall panels add personality to a living space, though do try to break up collections of books with some softer forms to create a more visually pleasing shelf display. Plenty of shelving for music and magazines keeps the place tidy and organized, and smart storage hides away junk in a flash, choose furniture of just a few shades for a pulled together cohesive look.

Furniture pieces should not hug the walls or be condemned to one level. Move the sofa toward the centre room, it actually creates the illusion of a larger space, and don’t forget to utilize the full height of your room with wall mounted units.

Photographs and artwork personalize a home, and plants always soften a space, making it look lived in and looked after.

Never underestimate the power of layering; neat layering builds a homely feel, so add a rug beneath a coffee table and a few cushions to the sofa to add warmth and pops of color.

Don’t forget to scatter around a couple of lamps too, so that you don’t always have the overhead lights beaming, and can enjoy softer mood lighting.
