So what if you're single? Make your shack the coolest in the neighbourhood.

1 Sofa-cum-bed: A daybed is a perfect solution for bachelor’s pad. Camouflaged as a sofa with stylish pillows and finished off with a storage ottoman/coffee table, no one will know it is transformed into your bed at night.

2 Table talk: A small, round table can act as an end table/breakfast area. Place it beside the daybed with a few books and a pretty lamp that can be used as a night table. Flanked with pretty bistro chairs it becomes a dining table during meals.

3 Smart storage: Use closets or walk-ins in rooms, where you can stuff your beddings, clothes and woolens.

4 Kitchen matters: The kitchen should be easy-to-use and maintain, yet smart to look at. Get home an espresso coffee maker to surprise your guests with a quick cuppa.

5 Get organised: In case you are an ardent reader, get a  bookshelf to stack your books. Adding a trendy CD and/or a magazine rack to your bedroom will also make your collections more organised.

6 Entertainment wise: If you want to make your bachelor pad more trendy and up-to-date, add zing by getting home a media console for gaming, or watching movies when friends come over.
