The essence of a bachelor pad is always about furnishing... It's gotta be dark, sophisticated (possibly avant garde, but thats a taste thing), comfortable and possibly even tasteful.
Somehow the concept of the bachelor pad has always been about minimalistic black coloured sophistication, highlighted by the fact there is a giant LCD screen (Plasma if you wish) right smack to the Bang and Olufsen (style over substance?) sound system next to it as the highlight in the living room. You never get a Bose as the Bose would be too discreet, neither would you get something that actually sounds good because those don't look just as cool... (Though if you're lucky enough to get a Steinway and Son's... My hat is off, and kindly do loan me your ferrari for the weekend)
Now, the most important part of the stereotypical bachelor pad would be it's couch. Designed to be wide enough for any form of possible ahems, and comfortable enough that should you have a massive hangover, you can steel watch sports while collapsed on it. An Eames chair and ottoman would appeal to guests who would've seen it on Frasier or just happen to walk by the designer furniture store down the road where the said apartment is located (oh, how did I forget about the apartment's location... and the view!)
The kitchen would have to be stylish, even if its never used... Brushed surfaces, immaculate set of pots, pans and all of that.
Guests rooms are not furnished, but used for other purposes... Possibly where the listenable sound system reside (once again, unless the Steinway is out in the hall) or maybe a REAL Steinway Piano, model B refurbished from the early 20th century. Perhaps where you'd keep your designer electronics, fancy mountain bike, cameras, or even wine and cigars... in their own chiller or humidiser (respectively), everything would be immaculate, not because you are... but because you'd have someone do it for you.
The bedroom.... Where there is a King Sized bed, electrical curtains (clap operated? Don't know... would it confuse snores for claps?) Designer sheets and curtains (definitely black out), walk in closet for the designer outfits and dimmer switches, oh the very important dimmer switches. Speaking of beds... I have seen an ideal bed, low enough to stumble in when drunk, with enough storage space beneath (held together by an aircraft door hinge) to hide the other girl as the girlfriend comes a knocking.
Bathroom, black marble top, stone shower tiles on the floor, rain shower (or a 360 shower) and a jacuzzi just for good measure.
Sadly, yours truly doesn't have any of the above... not even the apartment. Thank you so much for wrecking the curve with the Ferrari and the Penthouse... But that said, the stuff's really cool...
