The “boy apartment” trend is dominating TikTok feeds, and people are loving the way it has given bachelor living a new meaning. Before, “bachelor pad” and “man cave” trends were about luxury-driven spaces curated with trending materials, dark palettes, and glossy finishes. This resulted in visually impressive spaces that often feel emotionally distant and solitary. Less perfect and more personalized, the “boy apartment” trend celebrates a new generation of men who challenge conventional gender norms by rethinking masculinity in interior design. Ditching the blue-black palette, their spaces now give off a playful, lived-in energy with thrifted items, color-coded closets, personalized coffee nooks, self-care products, and layered design.
To design your own boy apartment, you have to start with the basics. And, by that we mean floors, walls, countertops, and other surfaces. Choose a stone that aligns with your vision of aesthetic and functionality. Quartz, with its exceptional durability and stylish appeal, is the ideal choice for this trend. Also, it comes in a wide range of colors and patterns, allowing for versatility across themes. The choice is completely yours; we are here to help you explore different designs.
Malibu
Malibu quartz is prized for its elegant appearance and durability. Its white surface is adorned with subtle golden beige and crisp white veins. Soft grey variations on the bright surface create a serene interplay of light and shadow, making this premium quartz ideal for kitchen countertops or living room floors where you want to add aesthetic layers and textures. Use Malibu slabs to design minimal and homogeneous spaces, allowing its neutral palette to instill a sense of warmth in the scene.
Fairmont White
Fairmont White quartz counters and backsplashes work well in “boy apartment” kitchens and bathrooms, bringing harmony to the masculine palette with light grey and white patterns that softly marble into each other. You can trace thin pencil veins scattered across the slab, adding movement to the scene. Our clients prefer simple edge finishes like eased or bullnose on these subtle-patterned quartz colors because they feel timeless and suit even the quirkiest kind of design style.
Damasco 3D
Creating your boy apartment is an opportunity to let your individuality shine through the design fabric, adding a personal touch to every element. For those drawn to bold, dramatic aesthetics, go for Damasco 3D Quartz. This jumbo (126×63) slab is suitable for large applications such as flooring, shower walls, and large countertops. Let its majestic, deep grey veins on the brilliant white surface add richness and depth to your interiors. Not to mention, this through-body 3D quartz provides for seamless and realistic design possibilities. Create unforgettable spaces with this premium engineered masterpiece and let your style take center stage.
Kalliston 3D
Kalliston is a breathtaking 3D through-body jumbo quartz (126×63) that recreates the essence of natural marble. Its radiant white surface is elegantly streaked with flowing brecciated gray and taupe veins, creating a sense of dynamic movement. In addition, feathery hints of golden veining lend a touch of warmth to the canvas. As realistic as it appears on the walls and worktops, Kalliston 3D quartz is popular among individuals who resonate with marble’s timeless charm but do not want to compromise on functionality.
Miroir
Do you like low-key sophistication? Something that is minimal but not boring? Miroir quartz makes it possible. Similar to granite, its white surface is sprinkled with black speckles, creating a beautiful peppery look. Uniformly patterned, Miroir supports a simple and balanced stage that makes intimate settings feel breezy and carefully edited. Now, if you are ready to risk a twist, here is how you can energize the air. Adding elements of punchy colors and different textures completely alters the vibe in your room. Your space becomes a living art. We often read simplicity as restrictions, but designers tend to choose minimal-veined stones for some of the most experimental settings.
Magnifique
Lately, we have noticed an increased demand for marble-inspired veins on quartz. Most homeowners choose Magnifique for its photo-realistic resemblance to marble. It is a win-win situation for those who want a classic marble look without having to put so much effort into maintaining the surfaces. Its calcite white background presents elegant brecciated grey patterns. Just like how traces of gold give natural marble an antique, lived-in look, this quartz captures the same essence with more precision. Pair this beauty with mid-tone cabinetry, open shelves showing off your indoor plants, or reclaimed wood stools to create a more organic aesthetic.
Whether bachelor pad or boy apartment, quartz relevance goes beyond these short-lived trends, only to become a timeless piece in your space. Now that you know the material names, find them at our New York and Philadelphia showrooms. Just to let you know, we deliver everywhere in the United States.
