Look around you. Take an honest inventory of where you live. Are you seeing a card table, a coffee maker, an air mattress? If so, then you, sir, are probably residing in a bachelor pad. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that. Just keep in mind that what seems like a dojo to you may not exactly scream success to the ladies who come over<\/a>. No one\u2019s asking you to change\u00a0you\u00a0<\/i>or what makes you comfortable. But guys often find that sprucing up their place makes them feel organized and more confident, anyway. So here are some tips\u00a0for\u00a0turning your apartment or house into the ultimate gentleman’s pad.<\/p>\n

1. The Focal Point<\/b><\/h2>\n

Remember\u00a0in “The Big Lebowski<\/a>” when Jackie Treehorn\u2019s goons beat up the Dude and pee on his rug? That sucked,\u00a0Jeff Bridges<\/a>\u00a0says, because \u201cthat rug really tied the room together.\u201d That was a moment of comic genius, but also a fair point. Strategically placed, a single item can anchor the layout of a room. So pick out that item \u2014 a picture, a vase or small sculpture, or, yes, a rug. Whatever it is, make sure that you love it and it sums up what you\u2019re about. Then let it guide you toward other items that you decorate around it.<\/p>\n

2. Bach Pad Swag<\/b><\/h2>\n

Just because you’re decorating doesn’t mean everything has to be bright and sparkly. Your bach pad can still be your dojo; just revamp it a bit. Consult the good folks over at\u00a0Traditional Home<\/a>, who can offer expert tips on how to make handsome rooms with\u00a0masculine vibes<\/a>. (Think dark hues, no clutter and that modern, clean look.) Take some time to\u00a0adultify\u00a0your bedroom<\/a>. That means no dirty laundry left out and no plaid, college-esque\u00a0bedding. And invest in a nice bed. Few things are quite as disappointing to women as a dude who offers them a single bed and one flat pillow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. The Bathroom<\/b><\/h2>\n

This will be a direct quote from your wife one day: \u201cKeep the fucking bathroom clean, honey.\u201d Many women treat bathrooms like their spa, so they know a good one when they see one. At minimum, make sure your bathroom is tidy and that it always has TP, soap and a hand towel available. Now that you\u2019re adulting, it\u2019s probably also time to stock up on quality\u00a0shampoo<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0pomade<\/a>. And if you find yourself on the go, get a\u00a0wash bag<\/a>\u00a0that can store all your other toiletry essentials.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. The Bar<\/b><\/h2>\n

Now that you\u2019ve got the basics down, have fun with the rest of the space. Set aside a nook to be your bar area. No need to install granite countertops or a wine cellar. Just a couple of glasses and a few liquor bottles on a tray will add urbanity to the decor. Want to take it up a notch? Get some barware.\u00a0(Shakers, jiggers, bottle openers.)<\/a>\u00a0Then master the standards. Chances are, your guests won\u2019t protest to being served a martini, an Old Fashioned, a Tom Collins or perhaps a go-to specialty all your own.<\/p>\n

You love your place, and we get it \u2014 it\u2019s your dojo. But you can still preserve its simplicity and masculinity. Just check out the BSG\u00a0blog<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0services page<\/a>\u00a0for tips on how to upgrade it from a bachelor lair into a bona fide gentleman\u2019s hangout.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
