A very basic before leaves plenty of room for improvement as designer Hubert May works with his client to find a vision for the space and ultimately create a stylish, simple bachelor pad.

A soft blue accent wall sets the tone for the simple, calm living space. A contemporary sofa is both comfortable and stylish and definitely brings in the cool factor the client was hoping for.

Due to lack of space, a glass coffee table was the perfect choice in the contemporary living room. Not only does it look beautiful on top of the shag area rug, it also creates the illusion of more space.

An unexpected mix of throw pillows is a fun way to add a whimiscal touch to the room. Faux fur adds texture and warmth, while a pretty floral pattern lends a feminine softness to the more masculine space.
