Gentlemen, let's talk about what exactly is a bachelor pad.

The ultimate bachelor pad does not involve pizza boxes stacked in the kitchen, magazine tear-outs taped on the wall or the collection of empty beer bottles in the balcony. 

A gentleman’s bachelor pad is rather clean, sophisticated and updated. Your ultimate man cave should look like a killer space your buddies wish they had and everyone finds comfortable during their visit.  

Whether you live in a studio apartment or a builder floor, just make sure you have the listed home essentials and a little love to make everyone eager to be there.
