The peeps over at ForRent.com sent over a fun infographic entitled The Bachelor Verus the Bachelorette Pad that includes the “must haves” for each based upon criteria compiled by nearly a dozen popular design sources, including Vanity Fair, Apartment Therapy, Forbes and HGTV, to name a few. Take a look by clicking here (or read the bullet points below), and then pipe in. Do the tips coincide with your criteria of what makes a stylish his/her living space? Is there any “must have” that isn’t on the list? Anyone find the his/her lines too delineated? For example, I know my theoretical bachelorette pad would look much more like a bachelor pad as described in the infographic.
For the Bachelor:
- set up a custom bar area
- buy a super comfy couch
- add a leather chair
- choose a basic bed with clean lines, topped with gray and solid colors
- use a bold accent color
For the Bachelorette:
- switch out boring light fixtures for something more chic
- use colorful plants as accents
- choose handmade rugs for warmth and comfort underfoot
- if allowed, consider wallpapering the kitchen to spice up dull appliances; if wall paper is a no-no, go with decals
- also, if possible, use floating bookcases versus those chunky ones that sit on the floor and take up valuable space
