Bedroom Design Ideas for Stylish Bachelors Who Love Their Privacy

There is something undeniably refined about a well-designed bachelor bedroom. It is stylish, masculine, and designed with intention. It is spotless and clutter-free, with every object in its designated space. It has a strong and personal style. Why? Because the occupant is a guy who values his privacy and will not compromise on comfort. His bedroom is more than a place to sleep. It is a retreat that reflects his character.

What Makes a Man’s Bedroom Stylish?

A man’s idea of style is rarely complicated because he chooses things that match his vibes and personality. But first, functionality takes precedence. Aside from these, he knows what he likes and chooses accordingly.

Apart from the essentials: a bed, dresser, nightstands, and perhaps an accent chair, what makes his room tastefully styled? It's in the details, the seemingly small (but effective) touches that bring life into the room.
  • One bold piece of wall art or a small cluster of black & white framed photos.
  • Personal mementoes and keepsakes like trophies, plaques, medals, and awards.
  • A proudly displayed sports jersey.
  • An occasional chair with suede or leather throw pillows.
  • A runner or area rug with bold geometric lines, abstract art, or textured patterns.
  • A table/display shelf with small collectables that tell stories.
  • Materials like leather, dark wood, or metal. While leather connotes power, resilience, and sophistication, dark wood is classic, impressive, and bold, and metal is modern, sleek, and masculine.
The top color choices are grey, navy, white, brown, black, deep plum and steel blue.

With carefully chosen and well-placed elements, a man can turn his simple room into a lived-in masculine haven that is stylish without being showy and personal without being crowded.

Privacy, Style, and Masculinity


So, what are the benefits of a thoughtfully designed room? And why will some men never settle for less? Here are some reasons why:
  1. They have total control over their space.
  2. They have the freedom to design and furnish as desired.
  3. They have a clutter-free, calming, serene, and orderly comfort zone.
  4. There is nobody around to disorganise the space and disturb its serenity.
  5. Everything object, no matter its size, has its place.
The bachelor's bedroom should be his kingdom, a place to live the single life in style. It must be private. It should be stylish. It must ooze masculinity. But best of all, personal.

Moss Walls: Nature-Inspired Design for Modern Interior Spaces

Moss wall installations are a 21st-century design concept that adds textured greenery to vertical structures of building interiors and exteriors.

Available as real or faux moss, it is a creative feature that adds a biophilic touch to interiors and architectural designs. (Biophilic design integrates natural elements into built environments.)

1. As a living wall art feature, its textured natural accent brings the outdoors indoors through a creative connection to nature.

2. As a sound barrier: Moss walls absorb sound waves and reduce noise levels. Think home recording studios.

3. As a natural element integrated into built environments, it adds a biophilic touch that creates environments that support physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Real moss walls are low-maintenance. They are cost-effective and sustainable alternatives to potted plants, and depending on the strain used, they have a long lifespan (between 3 - 10 years). Its longevity depends on:

  • Type of moss.
  • Preservation method.
  • Moisture (misting).
  • Maintenance practice.
  • Good ventilation.

7 Examples of Where to Use Moss Wall Installations


1. Add a framed moss art piece as a headboard alternative.

2. A focal point in the entrance hallway.

3. Behind a floating staircase for a natural accent.

4. As sound insulation for a home theatre.

5. Incorporate moss tiles into a kitchen or bathroom backsplash.

6. A central wall in an office reception or spa lobby.

7. Behind the main counters of restaurants and cocktail bars.


Moss Wall Installations for Healthier Interiors


With their calming and ambient aesthetics, improved air quality, and eco-friendliness, moss walls promote great health and well-being to building occupants. They also enhance cognitive functions and elevate sinking and dreary moods. And in the workplace, biophilic design has been shown to increase productivity, creativity, and overall satisfaction. This makes the concept a popular choice for residential and commercial projects.

All these are achieved while adding a uniquely-different touch of nature to their living and working spaces.


Downloadable and Printable Work Sheets for Interior Design Projects


As an interior designer who needs to run a day-to-day business, books play an essential role. Sketchbooks, planners, project site workbooks, logbooks, mood and ambience books, drawing books, etc. It's the nature of the profession. Books. Books. Books! 

But:
  • Are you NOT tired of stiff paperback spines that never flatten when opened?
  • Do you NOT find it annoying whenever you attempt to (forcefully) open a book flat, damaging its spine irrevocably?
  • Would you NOT like to find ways to avoid (or prevent) these bothersome book-opening issues?

If you feel this way about your paperbacks (and hardcovers are pricier anyway) like sketchbooks, journals, workbooks, and industry-specific notebooks, the following alternatives are for you.

What Are the Benefits of These Alternatives?

  1. For starters, this system works out cheaper.
  2. It ensures you can open pages wide and flat against a surface.
  3. You can fold your pages over without ripping a spine.
  4. Flipping through pages is a breeze.
  5. You will work better and quicker on your pages.
  6. You will write and sketch effortlessly, even without a surface/table.

Interior Design Downloadable and Printable Templates


These are the alternatives to paperback books. You can download and print a whole book, a few pages, or a couple of sheets. You can then bind them any way you wish, using any of the following:
  • Ring binders.
  • Spiral binders.
  • Plastic Comb binders.
  • Wire binders.
From checklist pages to a 120-page interior design project journal with project documentation, client data, worksheets, sketch pages, and mood and vision pages, printable worksheets will keep your projects organized systematically and professionally.


 

Digital Downloads Are Worth the Tiny Investment


A beginner designer, freelancer, or one who's been practising for many years needs these printables for the smooth running of their interior design business. And the great thing about them? They are so inexpensive at less than a dollar per client, per project!

It's a worthwhile investment. Think about it.

African-Themed Ethnic-Style Interior Design Idea

African-styled ethnic interior design in modern-day home styling is often associated with exotic interiors. The style is embraced by creative and artsy people who love ideas that make them stand out "from the crowd".

Ethnic interiors are associated with bold patterns, textures, vivid earth tones, unusual forms, artwork, and some eccentricity.

Many believe ethnic designs are tribal. While many more think tribal designs connote ethnicity. They are all right in many ways. How? The ethnic decor is a beautiful mix of tribe, tradition, art, nature, and the elements.

How to Transform a Room Into an Ethnic Haven


Transforming an interior space into a stylishly-ethnic haven from scratch is simple. It is fun to put together because there are no rules per se, only three basic requirements typical of the theme.

  1. Natural (plants, jute, clay).
  2. Traditional (wood, fabrics, furniture).
  3. Art (carvings, sculptures, local art, handmade crafts, animal prints).

The requirements reflect the African cultural identity and traditions.

Assuming you already have the basic furniture all set in place: sofa, coffee table, armchair, side tables, dining set, etc., add some of the listed to enhance or upgrade the space to an ethnic-styled interior:

  • African tribal mask (one large piece or a group of three smaller ones).
  • Wall-hung talking drum.
  • Handwoven rug with a tribal pattern.
  • Large floor pillows (for sofa) - a mix of plain textured fabrics and African prints.
  • Leather pouffes (footstools).
  • Planters (terracotta, rattan, handwoven baskets).
  • Display wood carvings, stone sculptures, and other small-size artefacts on surfaces (tables, stands, floating shelves).
  • Faux animal skin throws.
  • Large brass, copper, or clay urns.
  • Lampshades (made from local Ankara or loom-woven fabrics).

If the room is already styled contemporary (or modern), you can add tribal accents and complements. Add at least five items to create an aesthetically pleasing ethnic interior decor. This type of mix with a modern style works best for most.

Going totally ethnic may end up looking consuming and overwhelming. But there is no rule against going the whole nine yards. Some like it that way.

Do You Live in a One-Bedroom Apartment? Here are 5 Quick Interior Upgrade Ideas

Some residents living in one-bedroom apartments do get tired of the same interior arrangement, year in and year out. Why? Because the apartment is small and the movement path is short (just between the living spaces and bedroom), it soon gets uninteresting.

When you start to feel this way, it is time for a quick and affordable interior upgrade. So, how can you achieve this fast and easy without spending more than a few dollars? Here are five ways how:

1, Foliage


Adding potted plants to a room brings the outdoors into an interior space. You can use either natural or faux plants. If you have good natural light filtering into the space, go for natural foliage. And for a living area that lacks much natural lighting, faux plants are best. Place a large potted plant in a conspicuous corner of the room. Add smaller or ornamental plants on shelves, mantelpieces, windowsills, and other available surfaces.

2, Area rug


If you can, invest in a new floor rug. Put a small console by the entrance and add a small-sized runner rug in front. A new, colourfully textured rug can have just as much of an impact on the space as a new sofa will. Alternatively, you can place the rug between the living and dining zones. It will visually separate both areas.

3, Change furniture around


Swap around furniture and decor elements instead of buying new items. For instance, you can switch the bedroom rug with your current living room rug. You can also bring the accent chair from the bedroom to the living room and replace it with one of the armchairs from the seating area. That is two room upgrades for zero dollars.

4, Window art


Window art will transform any interior space, making the room appear like you are looking at some beautiful scenic view through your window. View a garden, a patio pool, a seascape, or a mountainous landscape with window decals. This change works well if you have a miserable view from the inside.

5, Create a feature wall


Never underestimate the transformative powers of framed pictures, illustrations, and paintings. Choose a wall as the room's focal point and turn it into a picture gallery. Paint the wall a different colour from the others. Paint is cheap, fast to apply, and very effective. Since you are painting only one wall, invest in a colour that works fabulously with the rest of the interior.

Do-It-Yourself Project


All in all, these five tasks are doable in an hour or thereabouts. You can do them one evening after work, or on a weekend.

And money spent? It will always depend on you.

For instance, you may wish to splash out on the area rug. Or you may decide to splurge on potted plants or a striking floor lamp.

The idea behind this post, however, is to help you achieve a fast, easy, and affordable way to upgrade your interior when you start to get tired of its looks.
