The accessories every gentleman needs for his bachelor pad

These pieces will get your home the right kind of attention

For all the fun, glamour and scandalous adventure that’s associated with the bachelor pad, in reality numerous men are flummoxed as to how to properly decorate their living space. Many naively purchase imposingly large televisions or over-complicated home gadgets in the hopes that they’ll impress whoever steps through their front door, but these features are now somewhat cliché. A true gentleman should concern himself with purchases that will not only reflect an excellent taste in interior design, but what will also portray his unique personality. For such items, there a few better places to turn to than Patrick Mavros.

Founded 35 years ago, Patrick Mavros started his eponymous brand out of the desire to produce luxurious pieces that are distinctly exotic, with his home in the wild hills of Zimbabwe acting as a key point of inspiration. His four sons, Alexander, Forbes, Patrick Jnr and Benjamin are now also heavily involved in the business, keeping alive their father’s passion for extraordinary creations. A stunning combination of family heritage, craftsmanship and the visuality of the African landscape, we’ve selected the Patrick Mavros pieces that are sure to add a bold touch to any discerning gentleman’s home.
