Bachelor Pad Decor Part 3: Classic Mens Bedroom Ideas
Inside: Are you looking for simple affordable bachelor pad decor for your apartment? These mens bedroom ideas might be just what you’re looking for.⇒
In the first 2 parts of this series, I introduced you to my son’s first apartment, a place he moved into when relocating for his first job. You can see the living room in Part 1 – HERE and the kitchen, dining room and terrace in Part 2 – HERE. In this part we’ll take a look at the bachelor pad decor for the bedroom, bath and desk alcove of this young man’s apartment.
In the bedroom, as throughout the apartment, we kept with the same theme of clean, sleek urban style. The nightstands, as well as a large dresser, are a warm toned wood with simple masculine styling. The leather headboard is lends comfort, in addition to having a cool vibe. Mattress and box spring came from Macy’s, a pleasure to deal with in terms of timely delivery. (It’s one thing to wait a few weeks for an end table, but no one wants to move into an apartment and find their bed delivery is delayed.) The wall plaques pay homage to my son’s East Coast home and the table lamps add a little sophisticated flavor to the space. (See resource list below.)
The apartment is equipped with a very nice little alcove in a hall off the bedroom, the perfect spot for a small desk and chair. A rugged mirror completes the nook.
This space has become a little media center for my son and is the spot I most often see him when we Skype.
The huge double closet behind the desk you can glimpse in the mirror, which makes this area an excellent dressing area, as well.
As with many apartments, the bathroom is tiny and keeping it looking nice is dependent on the accessories. We went with a crisp white for the towels and bathmat for a refreshing look.
Fortunately the fixtures are neutral and the tile a nice cream marble. The glass shower doors also lend a clean spa like feel, albeit a claustrophobic spa!
As with the kitchen, the final touch was a little glimmer delivered by hammered pewter accessories.

The apartment looks fabulous, masculine but stylish and I must have gone wrong somewhere with my boys as they could never keep their places looking as tidy as your sons. I think being a little bit minimalist helps and you have just the right amount of furniture in his apartment.
Lee 🙂
Thanks Lee! He is pretty neat, but keep in mind these pics were taken right after the place was completed and I was still there… 😉
Fantastic job! I sure could use your help with my place. I lack a serious sense of design; just can’t seem to tie it all together 🙁
Again, looks great!

Thanks so much, Brian! Stay tuned… I’ll be starting an e-Design shop on my blog soon, so if you need help, I’ll be happy to work with you… 🙂
i don’t mean to get too personal here. But what building does he live in. I live in St. Louis and am looking for new apartment to live in. And this place looks very nice.
Your son’s apartment is precisely what I would like; clean, neat, spacious for one person, and more masculine than the girly apartments most people expect women to live in. I’m very much female, but I seriously dislike any decor that makes me feel as I should be in high heels and dresses. At 63 years old, I want my home to be comfortable (though somewhat more colorful than this, being an artist who just loves color), not full of Country French frou-frou, or lace and velvet.
Very, very nice apartment, and excellent photography to show its attributes.
Thank you, Joyce! I would love to have an apartment in the city where I would highlight my less feminine decor. For now, I just decorate my kids apartments… lol. I plan to decorate my lower level with this more urban feel though. And soon I will be revealing my daughter’s Manhattan apartment, so stay tuned… 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!!
