Ideas for furnishing/decorating bachelor pad or apartment

Anyone have a cool gadget, appliance, or piece of furniture that makes your place unique? I'm trying to look for ways to spruce up my place and I got a leaning bookcase and new shoe rack, but I feel like my place is still missing something.

I need a new couch sometime soon and am thinking about replacing it with a daybed. They look comfortable and may stand out with the ladies as well.

Ultimately, I just don't have a mind for decorating, so I wanted to see what other single guys have that helps make their place stand out in other people's minds.

Stripper poles lead to lots of fun.

I am a big fan of the Barcelona chair and the Le Corbusier sofa, these two pieces of furniture you see in high end hotels or rich people home. However there is always knockoffs for a fraction of the price.

Very nice but definitely out of my price range lol, I think I'd go for the knockoffs.

Ambient lighting system, surround sound speakers, wrap around sofa etc. Just some ideas off the top of my head.

I'm a big fan of house plants. I'll see guy's places, and that's the one thing that could add the final touch. Not too many, but placed in a few spots adds to the ambiance, as well as the supposed fresh air production.

Also, if you're going with the bachelor pad feel, make sure you have a few strategically placed candles - coffee table, night stand, etc. They're great for setting the mood, as well as the perfect lighting for when you finally get down to business - they'll show enough.... but not too much.
