Whether you live in a bachelor pad or a family home, most men are into their little luxuries. But unfortunately, we can’t often kit out our entire homes with high-end goods, as much as we’d like to. But there is a way around this. By picking one item in each room to invest in you can really raise the standard of your lifestyle without breaking the bank. Read on to see how.
Living Room
It is often in the living room where we spend most of our downtime. There are lots of individual items you can focus your attention on here for an upgrade.
If comfort is vital to your well-being, then what about using your resources to get a better sofa? You can choose something modern and angular in a bold color like red or orange. Or you can go for a more populist vintage look with something that has roll top arms and studs like a Chesterfield. You can even go for a footstool for an added layer of luxe.
Of course, you can always go for a luxe gadget item in the living room. Things like an entertainment centre with a TV projector can be a fantastic addition to your home. As can a surround sound system and adjustable chairs.
Bathroom
When it come to the bathroom, you have to keep functionality in mind as well as style. But that doesn’t mean you can’t upgrade in this room too. If you use your bath as somewhere to release stress and relax, then investing in a freestanding model can be a good use of your money. If it is your shower that gets you woken up and ready to go in the morning, then consider one of the many stylish walk in shower enclosures that are available.
Kitchen
You may be the king of your kitchen, or it may be that you try and avoid it for most things other than boiled eggs. But whether you see yourself as a top chef or a kitchen dunce, there are plenty of improvements you can make in this room to raise your quality of living.
For example, those of your that spend a lot of time in the kitchen you may opt for a built-in storage system. This will let you keep organized while having everything on hand for your culinary masterpieces. Or, if you enjoy the drinking side of a meal more that the actual food itself, how about plumping for a beer or wine fridge? Then your tipple will always be at the perfect temperature.
Man Cave
Of course, no room improvement guide would be complete without factoring in the man cave. This is your retreat from the outside world, and it should reflect this.
So you might want to treat yourself to something fun like a top of the line computer console. Or how about a few decorative items like a faux stags head and a high back chair? Then it will be the perfect gentleman’s retreat.
