Book Description

November 1, 2002 0312303998 978-0312303990 1st
Bachelor Style showcases some of the most fabulous bachelor pads imaginable - whether a boat shed, a country shack, a high-tech apartment with state-of-the-art media and exercise equipment, a low-tech loft with boxing gym, a proper country house, or an exotic hideaway on a palm-fringed beach.

Drawing on four archetypal male characters, Bachelor Style explores the full gamut of masculine style: The smooth playboy with a slick pad designed for entertaining and seduction; the dandy, whose passion for art, antiques and aesthetics is displayed in an immaculate environment; the gentleman, surrounded by emblems of his good taste and breeding; and the lad whose living space is designed for maximizing fun and minimizing chores.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Bachelor Looks, October 31, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bachelor Style (Hardcover)
This book is almost a history of "bachelor of pad" styles - from heavy embroidered furnishing of the late 19th century to mid-century to miminalist. It definitely is not the basement style american man-cave, lodge or field and stream look. It feels like you are walking in someone's study or private room.

3.0 out of 5 stars If you want a chick designing your pad, October 29, 2010

This review is from: Bachelor Style (Hardcover)
Technically executed very well, but as a bachelor, this is definitely not the book I was looking for. My ideas for bachelor pads include smoking cigars, watching sports, cool bars, maybe a room or two dedicated to fishing or hunting. The only mildly interesting idea in this book was the boxing based room. If you are contemplative, book reading, sensitive wine sipping master of the classics, this is your cup of tea - but when going for the bachelor pad shouldn't be one going for something that your married buddies wish they had?
