Modern bachelor pads are redefining the way guys look at interior design and style. Located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this classy and elegant space designed by Gisele Taranto Architecture for the 2013 Casa Cor Rio is an excellent template for a stylish and trendy bachelor crib. Compact and carefully planned, the exquisite home makes smart use of the available space. While the interior might not be expansive, it offers a laid back, relaxed setting that is ideal for the single life. A smart bedroom adjacent to the sitting area, a stylish walk-in closet and a small bathroom define this hip home.

The small bachelor pad has several different features that make it an absolute standout. Vivid, colorful artwork that is gracefully displayed on the walls is the most noticeable aspect of the space. Using large paintings and interesting art installations in a creative manner, the home maintains its masculine appeal despite the presence of ample color. Apart from this refreshing design trend that brings the place to life, the thoughtfully designed ceiling, smart recessed lighting and carefully concealed options help elevate the interior to new heights.

Blending aesthetics and functionality, the home features modern decor in black, a plush sofa in teal and a comfortable bed with a tufted headboard. A small outdoor patio accessible through large glass doors and a pergola-like structure for shade complete this fabulous project. Brilliant yet practical, this smart little bachelor pad can be turned into a bachelorette crib with just a few deft changes.
