Design apartment for a bachelor

The home of a staunch bachelor is brutal, charismatic, and, contrary to the envious conjectures, does not at all resemble a "den". This is a place where there is everything necessary for a normal life, where it is not a shame to bring a woman, to spend time with friends. Often a lonely citizen lives in a one-room, two-room apartment, less often - a spacious penthouse on the top floor of a local skyscraper. On how the design of the apartment for the bachelor looks like, the principles of arrangement of each of the rooms, the real "men's" decor and furniture, read on.

Features layout bachelor apartment

A bachelor apartment is a room where only one person lives permanently, but on weekends, holidays, his friends sometimes “fit in”. The last item may be missing if the host is an introvert.

   
The most convenient option for the "convinced" bachelor is a studio apartment. All the "extra" walls are cleaned, in a separate room there will be only a bathroom. The bed is separated by a wardrobe, the study is a screen. The kitchen space is fenced off from the dining area by the bar. In the presence of a loggia or a heated balcony, these rooms are also combined with the rest, which is especially important for small apartments. If the idea with the studio is unacceptable, then leave it as it is - perhaps a young unmarried person will change his mind in the near future, will get a family.

The choice of style, colors

In bachelor apartments unacceptable any hints of romanticism - ryushechki, circles, pink flowers, plush hares and more. Rare aesthetic lovers decorate the interior in the Baroque style or Provence, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Since the apartment belongs to one person, it fully reflects his interests and hobbies. A billiard room, Jacuzzi in the middle of the bedroom, an extensive bar or motorcycle in the living room - any design ideas here are acceptable.

   
Most often the home of a bachelor is made in the following styles:

• loft;
• industrial;
• high tech;
• brutalism;
• modern;
• minimalism;
• modern;
• Scandinavian;
• futurism.

Brutalism

One of the easiest styles. There are almost no decorations, bright colors. The walls are concrete, and if there are wallpapers, then they are plain. The floor is wooden or self-leveling, necessarily dark, the ceiling is most often of plasterboard. Furniture is quite appropriate made by hand from euro pallets or welded from iron fittings.
The color scheme is predominantly black-gray-white. In the bedroom there will be only a large double bed, a narrow hanger. If there is a lot of things, then behind the screen there will be a dressing room in which clothes, shoes, skis, a vacuum cleaner, an iron are stored. When the bedroom is spacious, it is equipped with a sports area - a simulator or a bench with a barbell, a horizontal bar for pulling up, a Swedish wall and so on.
The living room accommodates a large sofa, a TV, on one of the walls, if desired, place wallpaper with a picture of the cityscape, cars. If it is a kitchen-living room, then the kitchen space is separated by a bar, a screen, a rack. Traditional cabinets are inappropriate here. The set in the kitchen is chosen strict, simple forms, without any decor. In the bathroom and the toilet are also only the most necessary, from the functional decor - metal towel racks, a couple of the same soap dishes, detergents for washing and cleaning are hidden behind the screen under the bathroom. In the hallway - a large mirror, compact built-in wardrobe.

It is better to place all the furniture along the walls so that the center of the room is free.

Loft

Loft means a lot of free space, as few walls as possible. Indoors there will be only a bathroom, as well as a closet-dressing room, where almost everything will be added. Wall material - raw brick, mostly red, decorative stone is also welcome. The floor is concrete or boardwalk, there are no covered beams or false ceilings on the ceiling, the windows are the largest, the most panoramic, and no curtains - maximum metal blinds. All existing pipes are also not masked, but on the contrary, are emphasized, painted in steel or copper tones.
The bedroom furniture is solid, wooden or with metal elements, antique or "antique" - the most comfortable bed, a large oak wardrobe, a wrought-iron chest for small things. In the living room there is a large leather sofa, black or brown, from the side of the kitchen there is an extensive bar with an imitation fireplace, a bar counter combined with a window sill. In the dining area, an oval table with thick legs, strong, comfortable chairs. The bathroom is also framed "antique", this is especially noticeable when looking at copper or brass taps and pipes. The hallway is decorated with a large mirror in a heavy frame, which is attached to the wall.

If the windows are not too large, but there is an opportunity to increase them, then this should be done.

High tech

There is also virtually nothing extra. Household appliances built-in, furniture - transformable, modular, multifunctional. Windows and doors are sliding, materials are preferable natural. The lamps are hidden, and everything is appropriate from the decor, but in small quantities - statues, paintings, even a telescope by the window in the living room.

The bedroom is furnished with a bed and a dressing room hiding behind mirrored sliding doors. In the living room mirror or chrome ceiling, a sofa, the largest TV. Photowall-paper with motorcycles, cars, industrial landscapes will be very pertinent. The dining area is located between the kitchen and living room, everything is decorated in gray, white, sometimes there is brown, there are many steel parts.

 
The floors in the rooms are wooden or laminated, in the kitchen, in the bathroom - from natural or artificial stone, tiles. Kitchen set implies the presence of a large amount of metal, glass. If business meetings are planned in the apartment, for example, with business partners, then a round or rectangular table and several comfortable chairs are placed in the living room, in harmony with the sofa.

Modern style

The project of modern interior design implies the maximum functionality of each square meter of apartment territory. With the help of different ceiling heights, podiums on the floor, colors of walls, partitions, furniture, the space of a bachelor studio apartment is zoned in a certain way:

• bed, sofa on the podium;
• a higher ceiling above the center of the living room, a lower ceiling in the bedroom;
• several levels of the ceiling in the bathroom, to accommodate the original lighting;
• dining area is separated from the kitchen, bedroom with wallpaper on the walls;
• a hall or dressing room is fenced off with a wardrobe or shelving.

Modern style does not involve a lot of furniture, especially since a person lives alone. In the living room there are no shelves, wardrobes, but the presence of many shelves is welcome, some bright elements of decor can be present, but the main range is black and white, blue-gray, in shades of brown. The main thing here is convenience. A sofa for half a room, a false fireplace, a couple of simulators, a “play” area with a computer or a podium with a drum set. Modular bed, posters on the walls in the bedroom, a few poufs in the hall, next to the clothes rail. In the bathroom - shower or a spacious corner bath. The kitchen is spacious, there is little furniture in it, everything you need is hidden in the sections of the kitchen sofa.

Materials, ways of finishing

Finishing materials are selected durable, mostly natural, but suitable to the style of the room, the most commonly used:

• natural wood;
• the stone is real or artificial;
• various metals;
• clear frosted glass;
• brick, concrete;
• decorative plaster;
• wallpaper, wallpapers;
• drywall, PVC.

The apartment should be comfortable first of all, and the ideas about comfort are different for everyone. Some people need "home" wallpaper on the walls, combined with the delicate colors of stretch ceilings and laminated floors. The other will enjoy the bare brick walls, rough thick beams on the ceiling, stone floors.

Small rooms with windows facing north are decorated in warm, bright colors, spacious "southern" - in cold, dark.

Lighting

Enough light comes through the large windows in the daytime, the rest will require electricity. The bedroom lighting is selected muffled; if a working room is located nearby, then a bright light is required above the table. For a studio apartment, general overhead lighting is provided, local, which distinguishes different zones, decorative. Fixtures for a small apartment are selected built-in, flat, for a more spacious, with high ceilings, more voluminous chandeliers, wall lamps, and sometimes floor lamps are suitable. LED lighting of the kitchen unit, dressing room, bathroom looks beautiful, and if you let it even lower, it will give the impression of "floating" in the air of furniture.

The smaller the room, the lower the ceiling in it, the more bright it should be illuminated.

Bachelor furniture - what is it

Furniture for a single man - simple, strict, but strong, solid. Such that withstand festive invasions of friends and girlfriends. Glass, plastic are acceptable if alcohol is not abused in this apartment, otherwise the risk of injury is high. The most "men's" furniture is made of solid wood - oak, mahogany, pine, walnut, and is complemented by wrought iron elements. Individual companies produce entire lines of furniture, stylized just for men. There is a bed in the form of a steamer, a desk resembling a car body, a sofa, easily transformable into a simulator. The living room will be decorated with a coffee table in the form of a beer barrel, as well as a carved clothes hanger in the shape of a female figure, made personally.

Choice of male decor, textiles

Textiles in the bachelor "den" is present in the form of curtains, carpets, bedspreads and is chosen mostly dark colors:

• the black;
• terracotta;
• blue;
• Violet;
• burgundy;
• graphite;
• dark green.

These colors are often combined with more neutral ones - gray, white, beige. Drawing on textiles will be printed in neutral colors, simple geometric shapes, stripes. If bright colors are present on any one textile drapery, then they should be repeated on the other.
From the decor, depending on preferences, the owner’s hobby, houseplants and an aquarium with fish, a sea of ​​books on all available planes and paintings by local artists in frames, portraits of a beloved dog on the shelves and a collection of rare vintage knives over the bar, an electric guitar on the wall and sculpture, welded from the remains of a car.

Conclusion

At that time, it was believed that a lonely living man was unable to maintain order on his own, without "cluttering up" a house. The times have changed, the latest models of household appliances are able to clean the dust on the floor, to wash things with high quality, and kitchen machines to cook almost all main dishes according to the instructions. It is easy to arrange any interior style with your own hands, and if this is problematic, you can always turn to professional designers.
