“The top 3 Home decor products to help create a balance in a bachelor home so the ladies also feel comfortable when around :

“1. Throw blankets & cushions ( whether on the bed or couch, women like to feel cosy and snuggle up, so a space that has these creates an instant feeling of being home. To bring in the masculine touch, one can opt for darker colours and thicker material types )

“2. ⁠ A great alternative to flowers and pottery is to decorate the table/cabinet tops with sculptures. This serves a similar function to flowers, which are usually great options for ladies. However, a bachelor space decorated with different sculptures brings about a theatrical feel and creates the impression of a sophisticated sense of style, something the ladies tend to be drawn towards.

“3. ⁠ Great lighting: LED lighting is a great option for creating a modern, functional look. It’s great to create that romantic set-up when needed, but also perfect for game night with the boys; plus men just love them!”
