Living single is a hot topic these days. The whole concept of a Bachelors Pad has been around for decades - it’s a staple of TV shows and movies, and it usually involves a great number of pizza boxes and general messiness. Fear not - it doesn’t have to be that way!
If you’re the bachelor (or bachelorette) in question, or if you’re simply trying to help your favorite singleton set up their first apartment, there are some awesome ways to employ one of the hot metallic finishes - stainless steel. Not only does it blend handsomely with a variety of decor schemes, it’s tough enough to stand modern life, with all its messiness and gear.
So, What’s Your Bachelor Style?
You could be setting up a tiny home, a loft, or an apartment, but your style is your own. For your first solo living space, think about what you want from your home base. Deciding on your personal likes and needs will help you choose everything from sofas to storage.
I Need an Oasis of Calm
If the rest of your life is a whirlwind of activity, and you long for a space that is a self-cleaning refuge of tranquility - stainless steel is your new best friend. Although it doesn’t clean itself, it’s unbeatable for its ability to resist all kinds of abuse and stay looking fresh with little maintenance.
If you’re lucky enough to already have stainless steel appliances, adding some shelves to your kitchen or laundry space will increase your storage without taking up precious counter space. Stainless steel shelves are terrific for handling bulky items like laundry soap, extra linens, and bulk food items - and they are easy to wipe down and keep clean.
If your closets are a bit lacking in storage space, our closet shelf brackets are a quick and attractive way to add both shelving and room for hanging clothes. Simply add the shelf and dowel rod in the length you desire, and you’ve multiplied your options.
Overall, one of the best ways to avoid clutter is to keep things up and off the floor, and easy to find when you’re in a rush to get out the door. Adding shelving is the easiest way to achieve this.
