- A place to eat that is not the coffee table
- Eating at the coffee table because you don't have a dining table indicates immaturity to your guests. I can't tell you how many times I did this in college. You don't want your special someone to think you are still living the college glory days.
- An investment piece - solid construction - something sophisticated
- Trust me, a discerning eye concerning design and furniture is an extremely attractive quality in a man.
- Something unexpected
- Something unexpected is always a good thing in any room design.
- A stylish, uncluttered desk
- I've heard it said that a clean desk means a sick mind. I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement-mostly because I keep a very tidy desk. :) To me, a clean desk shows that you care about your space.
- Clean sheets
- This should be self-explanatory.
- Good collection of books
- Having an interesting and varied collection of books help tell your guests who you are.
- No TV-only room
- What I mean by this, is that in the room where your TV is, try to create a secondary focal point to distract from the TV.
- Luxurious bathroom
- A clean, luxurious bathroom (not a dirty, dingy, cluttered bathroom) will seal the deal, boys.
- Interesting lighting
- Having something interesting to look at will drastically alter your space.
- Plenty of seating with durable, stylish upholstery fabric
- You need to have places your guests can sit.
- No cliches
- The cliche black leather sectional or neon beer sign is beneath you, gentlemen. Let's grow up.
You don't have to spend a lot either. I always say: collect piece by piece over time. Ask an interior design guru to help you.
Good luck, bachelor's!
