Hey, how can you
be a hip, with-it, future-type guy if you haven't got a futuristic
bachelor pad? It just ain't gonna happen!
So what do you need? First, get yourself
lots of extruded plastic panels. You can't have too many of them
and never mind that they look cheap and hideous in the light of day.
Then you need art; and I'm not talking Norman Rockwell here.
Find the biggest, most embarrassing piece of abstract rubbish you can
find; preferably something that looks like it was churned out by the
yard and cut to order. If it can be back lit; bingo!
Furniture, of course, should be geometric or oddly curved, made of
man-made fibres, and be as uncomfortable as Hell. If you keep
tripping over it, you have a bonus.
Of course, you must have electronics. Make
sure they are big, clunky, and built in, so they can't be upgraded
without ripping the whole place apart. Be sure to make a massive
wrong guess about formats and select reel to reel recorders. And
have the television screen in an unwatchable place for that added
cachet! |
