Fact: You've Never Seen a Bachelor Pad Look Like This

In just a few scrolls, your idea of what it means to live like a bachelor will have completely changed. Why? Because this LA beach house is nothing like the unrefined, single guy pad you're probably accustomed to seeing. With the help of Homepolish designer Orlando Soria, what started as an empty house — with stunning views to say the least — was transformed into a modern getaway with minimalist appeal. Making a case for white walls, color is used sparingly so standout details, like a curated art collection, can truly be the focus. Although warm and inviting, this home is proof that less is truly more . . .

By choosing a monochromatic color palette, standout pieces like the gold chandelier can truly be the focus.

Designed for entertaining, a crisp, white sofa warms up the space. The mix of concrete and wood furniture is suited for modern, beach living.

Natural textures such as a jute rug and palm leaves reference the beach landscape just outside. White drapes frame the view without distracting from it.

With white walls as the foundation, the owner's art collection truly pops.

Modern art and a sleek console table make for the perfect pair.

Since the accessories are minimal, the few found throughout the house go unnoticed. This crab piece (also seen in this island studio) keeps with the other brass details and reflects the beach surroundings.

A spare nook (with priceless views) is now used as a small office. Genius!

A simple headboard and white linens lend themselves to a minimalist master suite. Similar to the living room, concrete side tables and gold finishes sparsely accent the space.

Natural fabrics and textures help the home feel cozy yet clean.

Inviting details like a throw and carefully styled succulents act as the finishing touches.
