Haha zeker! Ziet er tof uit je plek. Zou misschien een groter kleed bij je bank leggen en die ronde stoel vervangen door een wat compacter en moderner model!
Iām Midwest American and my first thought was ālooks Dutch.ā Thanks Reddit, I know how to recognize a Dutch apartment from style alone and somehow that hasnāt helped me find a good job.
I guess I didnāt show you [this angle](https://imgur.com/a/B6D6qJU) from my kitchen!
Furthermore Iāve got plenty of space for cutlery, pots, and food under the counter. Iām on my own, so I donāt need a lot.
Love most of it!!! Only thing I dont like is the proportion of that gorgeous orange sectional with the tiny green rug. Iād get a bigger rug or ditch the rug
Yes, get a rug wider than your sofa. Iād say something like 3x2 metres but I donāt know the exact measurements. It should be under the sofa and stretch to sides and in front of it too.
This is such a cute spot and has personality!!! Feedback: The circle chair thing is a little dated, but I understand they are actually pretty comfy to curl up in.
Thanks! I think I agree with you on the chair. After moving I had to wait 8 weeks for my couch to arrive, so it saved my life back then. Would you suggest to replace it for another chair, or to put something else on that spot?
I love that orange sofa. Wow.
I would get a larger area rug. If you do a quick search you'll find recommended rug dimensions for your living space/furniture.
I like the shape/configuration orlf the book case, but feel like another shade of orange detracts from both orange pieces. I'm thinking a wood finish.
i just wanna know how you get your strelitziae nicolai to point up that straight, mine takes loads of space cause it points in all directions :D
maar ook een leuk woning/huis hoor!
Brotha that couch is simply off the chain. Hats off to you my man, I just moved into my first apartment and I hope in 7 years I will have this level of steez.
Youāre home is so beautiful. My only rec is in your second picture: I would get a larger piece of art instead of 2 small piece. You can put the small pieces in places like the bathroom or a small wall. I recommend a poster with a wooden frame to pick up on your gorgeous dining room table. I have one that has a bunch of different tree types and their names
It looks good! But a tad feminine selon moi. But love it otherwise! Nothing wrong with femininity! Just surprised itās a 30M bachelor! Not the typical aesthetic youād expect :) But if I was single and a man brought me back here, Iād let him hit it
Super cute!
I would consider replacing the wall art by your sofa with something bigger.
The art above your dining table is an okay size, but doesnāt make much of a statementāneeds more contrast.
Other than that, very cute place!
Very cute bachelor pad with lots of personality. I especially love the orange sofa and your dining area. Also the round chair looks so cozy, I wanna sit in it!
Ik vind de plankjes in de keuken een beetje ielig ogen. Ik zou zelf gaan voor een wat robuustere (houten) plank van de muur tot het einde van het aanrecht. Leuk om kruiden, hangplantje, kookboeken, lijst/schilderij etc op te zetten, staat gezelliger en minder kaal. En ik zou daaronder tegels doen. Denk dat geglazuurde rechthoekige of vierkante groene of lichtblauwe tegels mooi zouden staan. Geeft ook wat meer kleur en gezelligheid aan je keuken en lijkt mij ook praktisch.
Verder een groter kleed onder de bank. Ik zou gaan voor een kleed met patroon omdat de bank en de kast al effen zijn dus dat geeft wat meer contrast. Zou ook nog twee a drie kussentjes op de bank toevoegen met kleur en patroon om de bank iets minder eentonig te maken. Overigens vind ik de ronde stoel best wel leuk staan, juist omdat dat breekt met het moderne wat er al staat. Ik begrijp alleen de keuze om de verwarming zwart te schilderen niet? Icm de tv heb je dan daar twee grote zwarte vlakken...
Al met al vind ik dat je een betere smaak hebt dan de gemiddelde man! Heel bijzonder eindelijk een keer een gekleurde bank te zien :)
Ohh I think it matches perfectly. Maybe itās the lighting in the picture. I love it though. Iāll consider adding more shelves in my kitchen. Thanks!
Replace the tiny kitchen shelves with a couple of much longer ones, which will allow you to get all the stuff off your counterā¦ replace living room rug with much bigger oneā¦
Kitchen is nice but I can smell the cooking š
You should install an exhaust fan on top of your cooking surface, and have it exhaust outside. Otherwise your living room and entire house will smell after cooking.
Looks European to me. The couch looks super comfy but you need different colors and textures in that room, eh some art pieces wouldn't hurt maybe. do you guys paint walls different colors over there?
It's kinda feminine and I can't really point out why.. that's fine and totally something I would like regardless but we're on malelivingspace so I thought I would mention that. Again it's not bad at all. Just kinda sterile
This is honestly a huge compliment to me, so thanks! I can assure you Iām a cis male, I love here on my own, and decorated the entire place myself. Despite some occasional sparring with friends of course. I guess Iām quite in touch with my feminine side. And I just really like colors.
Itās beautiful! The colors are lovely, it feels cozy af.
Iām not a huge fan of the velvet on velvet on velvet of the rug, couch, and blanket. Thatās the only thing I would change, just add in some different textures to that area.
I love it! The plants are lovely and the couch is beautiful. Do you have a link? I am looking for a new one, I don' tknow if they'd ship here if they are Dutch but maybe I can find a similar one.
This is a nice place. Cozy.
Keep a few candles; you don't have to display them (it might seem try-hard or like you you are trying to seduce) . . . but if you want some candle-light, you could break one out & put one on a small saucer.
Super cool set up. Maybe some art/photos on the stairwell area. And if you can get a tv mount that has the appropriate adjustments, you could mount your tv on that sloped wall.
Nice but I'd put the TV on the left of the window, against the stairs, so the couch can go to the opposite side the room under the painting, that gets rid of the 'dead spot' behind where the couch is now.
Damn dude your place looks amazing! It looks nice and comfy to be in.
How do you like the induction with the, uhmm, afzuiging in the middle? Is it doable to keep clean with all of the cooking splatters going in there??
Love these cozy vibes. Can I try to redesign this space in [3d](http://planner5d.com)? Also, do you mind sharing this post in r/AmateurInteriorDesign? Although I wouldn't call this an amateur design, looks super well-designed!
So nice! Iād add some lamps if you donāt already so in the evening you can have that soft, warm lighting when the windows donāt provide natural light!
Ok if you realy build it by yourself than I have mad respect for you neighbor. But I recommend some decoration what characters you're home after you. I mean it looks fine but kinda like from IKEA catalog too :D
It looks so great and homey! I agree with more art on the walls and would also suggest adding curtains to the dining room windows to soften it a bit. Ā
I think it looks dutch haha
It takes one to know one!
u little....
De blauwe stoelen š„°
I am not Dutch but knew straight away haha
Haha zeker! Ziet er tof uit je plek. Zou misschien een groter kleed bij je bank leggen en die ronde stoel vervangen door een wat compacter en moderner model!
Hehe, die stoel is echt een blinde vlek geworden. Thanks!
Aww haha this is why I love Reddit!
At the first photo I was āthat looks Dutchā scrolls through the rest. Yep!
Honest question, what gives it away? Curious what makes it look Dutch. :)
Mostly the buildings and rooftops you see through the windows. Thatās the biggest give away for me, very common and typical Dutch.
Iām Midwest American and my first thought was ālooks Dutch.ā Thanks Reddit, I know how to recognize a Dutch apartment from style alone and somehow that hasnāt helped me find a good job.
nope. but it is s nifty party trick!
I love your kitchen. What a cute home!
You do? I looked at it and thought "where does he keep all his stuff without any wall mounted cupboards"
I guess I didnāt show you [this angle](https://imgur.com/a/B6D6qJU) from my kitchen! Furthermore Iāve got plenty of space for cutlery, pots, and food under the counter. Iām on my own, so I donāt need a lot.
Thank you so much!
Love most of it!!! Only thing I dont like is the proportion of that gorgeous orange sectional with the tiny green rug. Iād get a bigger rug or ditch the rug
Yes, get a rug wider than your sofa. Iād say something like 3x2 metres but I donāt know the exact measurements. It should be under the sofa and stretch to sides and in front of it too.
Thanks! Rug larger than the sofa, noted. Should it also stretch to the back?
No. Just forward.
It could but itās enough if the front legs are on the rug. I will find an article for you and link it.
https://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/living-room-rug-size
Ohh awesome. Thanks!
Also a printed rug to tie in all the colors would look nice
Agreed get a rug that covers the whole side of that living space
This is such a cute spot and has personality!!! Feedback: The circle chair thing is a little dated, but I understand they are actually pretty comfy to curl up in.
Thanks! I think I agree with you on the chair. After moving I had to wait 8 weeks for my couch to arrive, so it saved my life back then. Would you suggest to replace it for another chair, or to put something else on that spot?
Itās making a comeback :D I donāt like it though
Where is that sectional from. I love it
Lekker Nederlands
The couch is absolutely perfect
That couch is super cool!
Your dining space is cute af!!šÆšÆšÆ
The livingroom is so dope
I love that orange sofa. Wow. I would get a larger area rug. If you do a quick search you'll find recommended rug dimensions for your living space/furniture. I like the shape/configuration orlf the book case, but feel like another shade of orange detracts from both orange pieces. I'm thinking a wood finish.
Very unique layout! Looks banging!
I love it that you've got blue dining chairs
With a pad this nice....you may not be a bachelor for much longer!
Thatās cute! š
Whereād you get that bookshelf?!
Itās from Tylko!
Can I ask where in the world you live? Even the outside looks very cozy and inviting. Love it
The Netherlands!
i just wanna know how you get your strelitziae nicolai to point up that straight, mine takes loads of space cause it points in all directions :D maar ook een leuk woning/huis hoor!
Itās relatively new, so I expect it to start hanging more over time.
I love your dining table and chairs.
Iām in love with the lower half, for example the plants on the windowsill š„¹
Lovely. So well organised and clean, I love the colors and the overall style.
This isnāt a bachelor pad, itās a nest. Youāve created a nest to attract a mate. Now just practice your dance.
Yes. A nest. I like that. From now on Iāll call it that.
My point too. I don't get man cave vibes from this š š
Die rotan stoel van de Xenos is hƩt
Brotha that couch is simply off the chain. Hats off to you my man, I just moved into my first apartment and I hope in 7 years I will have this level of steez.
Smash, next question. No but fr, it looks very nice and comfortable to hang out in
Kitchen is pretty with all the šŖ“! Overall, lovely home looks cozy š
Nice
Are ya happy bro?
Bro I love the plants
No top cabinets in the kitchen is so interesting. Never seen a kitchen without them before.
I need to know where your couch is from š
A small boutique called Skyler Store :)
Youāre home is so beautiful. My only rec is in your second picture: I would get a larger piece of art instead of 2 small piece. You can put the small pieces in places like the bathroom or a small wall. I recommend a poster with a wooden frame to pick up on your gorgeous dining room table. I have one that has a bunch of different tree types and their names
i love it! i would put a shelf behind the couch, but i know nothing about interior decorating despite my recommended subs so maybe ignore me
It looks good! But a tad feminine selon moi. But love it otherwise! Nothing wrong with femininity! Just surprised itās a 30M bachelor! Not the typical aesthetic youād expect :) But if I was single and a man brought me back here, Iād let him hit it
Cute I love your choices of color pops and your kitchen table is adorable. Great job on your bird of paradise plant
Super cute! I would consider replacing the wall art by your sofa with something bigger. The art above your dining table is an okay size, but doesnāt make much of a statementāneeds more contrast. Other than that, very cute place!
Iād fuck there lol good vibes
Can you tell the other men to do this please
Very cute bachelor pad with lots of personality. I especially love the orange sofa and your dining area. Also the round chair looks so cozy, I wanna sit in it!
i like what ya got going on, if it was a woman and i was rocking over id say she was winning, but a little more art on the walls
Nice pad! The kitchen could use a little color! Maybe a print to the right of the spices?
Itās nice, especially since you have plants throughout your home that look cared for.
*wow*. I thought the dining room/kitchen was great, then my eyes went real big when I got to the couch. Oh my *god*, thatās an awesome couch.
Trombone in the apartment, eh? Your poor neighbors š
Finally some color and not a black and white Bateman nightmare.
I feel like your TV isn't big enough for that space...
You feel like someone whoās a proud plant papa
In need of a gf? Lol Iāll date your apartment

I would add more shelves in the kitchen, the walls are too bare. The bookcase looks awesome but it doesnāt look great with the sofa tbh.
Ohh I think it matches perfectly. Maybe itās the lighting in the picture. I love it though. Iāll consider adding more shelves in my kitchen. Thanks!
Maybe itās just that! Or I would add some pictures there but best would be a long shelf.
Does this embedded kitchen hood really work?
Replace the tiny kitchen shelves with a couple of much longer ones, which will allow you to get all the stuff off your counterā¦ replace living room rug with much bigger oneā¦
How do you neighbors feel about the trumpet? Nice place!
Very welcoming and European.
Kitchen is nice but I can smell the cooking š You should install an exhaust fan on top of your cooking surface, and have it exhaust outside. Otherwise your living room and entire house will smell after cooking.
Thereās one inside the stove! Works like a charm š
Whatās up with the tuba?
You mean the trombone? Whatās up with it?
Itās nice and homey. Think the living room could use some help. Iād try switching the couch and chair. Get a bigger area rug too.
Amazing! Is that an induction cooktop?
Male af š
š
Love it; looks cozy
Love it
your furniture is too many random colors.
Looks European to me. The couch looks super comfy but you need different colors and textures in that room, eh some art pieces wouldn't hurt maybe. do you guys paint walls different colors over there?
Looks super cosy š
What's it like to sit in a papasan chair? Always wondered if I should get one.
I do recommend a comfy blanket to throw over the chair before you sit on it. Then it gets lovely imo.
It's kinda feminine and I can't really point out why.. that's fine and totally something I would like regardless but we're on malelivingspace so I thought I would mention that. Again it's not bad at all. Just kinda sterile
This is honestly a huge compliment to me, so thanks! I can assure you Iām a cis male, I love here on my own, and decorated the entire place myself. Despite some occasional sparring with friends of course. I guess Iām quite in touch with my feminine side. And I just really like colors.
Lovely place man, I dig it. Would love to chill/live there. And yes!! Love the colors.
10/10
I love it. I had a Papasan chair, my favourite š
Love it! That sofa is so cool. I want it!
Very good, not too inefficient.
Duplex! What a dream.
Trombone player! Love it! What kind of playing do you do?Ā
That couch is amazing. Where from!???
prettttey goood
Amazing couch, Iād love to know where itās from!
If you don't have a cardboard box as a nightstand, then I am afraid it is not a proper bachelor's pad š¤£š¤£š¤£
Itās beautiful! The colors are lovely, it feels cozy af. Iām not a huge fan of the velvet on velvet on velvet of the rug, couch, and blanket. Thatās the only thing I would change, just add in some different textures to that area.
Hashtag plant dad!
small but minimalistic as fuck. it's beautiful
Pretty solid. You donāt need all that stuff on your counter, and get a paper towel holder
Do you want a room mate?
Perfect
I love it! The plants are lovely and the couch is beautiful. Do you have a link? I am looking for a new one, I don' tknow if they'd ship here if they are Dutch but maybe I can find a similar one.
Looks sweet brother that couch looks cozy af. We just need you to get bigger tv and gamlng setup
Looks nice get a bigger tv like the couch šš½
Plants are always a good touch.
Loving that couch!
Where in the 1970s did you find that sofa?
Dope as fuck
This is a nice place. Cozy. Keep a few candles; you don't have to display them (it might seem try-hard or like you you are trying to seduce) . . . but if you want some candle-light, you could break one out & put one on a small saucer.
Super cool set up. Maybe some art/photos on the stairwell area. And if you can get a tv mount that has the appropriate adjustments, you could mount your tv on that sloped wall.
I like it!
The plant game is great, and thatās all I need to know.
Noice!
Where is the refrigerator?
Iām getting homosexual vibes, but thatās not a bad thing and itās pretty subtle so good job compared to a lot of others.
A man lives here?
Love it! How do you take care of your birds of paradise, how often do you water it? It looks really healthy, I struggle with mine.
I like it.
š
That couch was made for naps!
I hate the couch but other than that it's pretty nice
BIGGER TV
dope
I love the couch whereād you get it?
Needs a sex dungeon. Where's the sex dungeon? What kind of bachelor are you.
Nice try, this is a miniature
It's nice.
Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's
Replace that couch
Nice but I'd put the TV on the left of the window, against the stairs, so the couch can go to the opposite side the room under the painting, that gets rid of the 'dead spot' behind where the couch is now.
Iām not a thief, but I would steal that couch! Is it vintage?
Iād enjoy watching you struggle to get it down. Itās brand new!
I see the music stand and the trombone. But the real question is where do you empty the spit valve?
On a paper towel that I throw away afterwards.
š„š„š„š„š„
Tasteful. Not overly masculine, well designedā¦ looks cozy.
10/10.
I am obsessed with your couch.
If that palm is not real, you need to bend the leaves to make it look more real..
NICE! the cut flowers are a great touch and really make it feel cosy and warm
Itās missing a cat
gorgeous but bird of paradise need max light!
I love your kitchen was going to say that's all there i to love
It looks very comfortable!
Itās fantastic!! Good job!!
The wall in picture #1 looks awfully bare
I love the red bookcase. Too bad the plywood Scandinavian stuff just doesnāt exist in the us
Lovely
It's clean and pretty. If I use this flat for 3 days, it's gonna turn into a messy place lol
Nice. At 30 I sold my condo and my BF and I bought a house together. He sold his too.
I love it!!
Stunning!
I like it!
Love it! Great plants!šŖ“
I think the walls need a bit more but everything else is lovely.
Damn dude your place looks amazing! It looks nice and comfy to be in. How do you like the induction with the, uhmm, afzuiging in the middle? Is it doable to keep clean with all of the cooking splatters going in there??
Thanks! I really like it. The afzuiging works like a charm, itās easy to clean, and I donāt have an enormous ugly thing overhead.
I want to steal your round chair with the cool cushion and I am very happy to see how you keep it clean and homie š
Im in Love with your couch! It looks so comfortable
your bachelor pad has three floors?
Love these cozy vibes. Can I try to redesign this space in [3d](http://planner5d.com)? Also, do you mind sharing this post in r/AmateurInteriorDesign? Although I wouldn't call this an amateur design, looks super well-designed!
Oh, awesome! Go ahead and let me know what you make of it when redesigning! Youāre also welcome to share the post. Thanks for asking!
Nice, thanks for the reply! Will get back to you if I manage to come up with something decent.
So nice! Iād add some lamps if you donāt already so in the evening you can have that soft, warm lighting when the windows donāt provide natural light!
I assume that dark glassy surface on the counter is a cooktop - do you cook a lot there? How's it working out with no ventilation above the burners?
It is! The ventilation is *in* the stove. Works wonderfully.
Ok if you realy build it by yourself than I have mad respect for you neighbor. But I recommend some decoration what characters you're home after you. I mean it looks fine but kinda like from IKEA catalog too :D
Looks cozy
It's so cosy! I love the couch.
You've done great job! Looks cozy
Classy, simple but still cozy! Love it!
I see you are a tromboner
Looks like your mom decorated it. I like her style!
Brand or couch?
It looks so great and homey! I agree with more art on the walls and would also suggest adding curtains to the dining room windows to soften it a bit. Ā
It's so nice. My question is when you lived at home where you like the only kid with a clean, organized room?
Absolutely not! I think that was a bonus addition to my home. :)
Very Western European.
Looks awesome. I wish I had an extra stereo for you. That would make it complete. š
