When moving into his first apartment, a friend of mine boasted about how he planned to make his bachelor pad irresistible to women. However, his place started out as more of a stark, uninviting man cave than a romantic love nest.

In his bedroom, for instance, black trash bags substituted for curtains and blocked out any natural light. His mattress, the only piece of furniture, lay in the middle of the floor, and piles of books lined the bare walls. He pressed a remote to switch on about 10 battery-operated candles dispersed throughout the room.

“Nice, isn’t it?” he said without a hint of self-awareness.

Because I’m a good friend, I told him the truth: “If my date took me in here, I’d think I was about to be murdered.”

You can rid your home of blank space by hanging original prints from Fine Art America.

His dates were similarly turned off, so he decided to invest in some furniture and decor. He took down the trash bags, doubled the number of candles, and soon got his love life back on track. As my friend learned the hard way, how you choose to decorate your dorm room, apartment, or house can affect your dating prospects — and not always for the better.

You can find a picturesque landscape to add serenity to your living room or a colorful abstract to brighten up a guest bathroom. Every piece of wall art adds personality to your home.

More than 10 million images, from paintings to digital art, are up for sale on FineArtAmerica.com, so you have plenty of options and can customize the frames, materials, and sizes to your tastes.

The couch is a prime date locale, perfect for at-home movie screenings or late-night drinks with a date. It’s a place for conversation, relaxation, and cuddles, so it’s important that it looks just so. You can make a plain or hand-me-down couch more welcoming, attractive, and unique with a few throw pillows. Fine Art America sells decorative throw pillows “hand-crafted in North Carolina and ready to ship to you in two to three business days.” These custom cotton creations bring an eye-catching design to any bed, chair, or couch.

A few framed photos can tell you a lot about a person’s experiences and background. Daters can offer insights into their hobbies, childhood, or other interests with a well-placed photo, sparking conversation with new acquaintances. Pictures often come with a story, so hanging up your favorite pics can give you an easy segue into a lively discussion.

Fine Art America creates custom painted portraits based on photographs.

Fine Art America offers unique photos-to-art for customers interested in preserving a special memory. You can turn any snapshot into a sleek hand-painted portrait with simple custom tools online.

When you invite your date in for a nightcap or a home movie, your home should showcase the best of who you are. The moment your special guest walks in, it should be more love-at-first-sight and less how-fast-can-I-get-out-of-here.

Fine Art America specializes in making quality prints using cutting-edge technology.

Once my college friend nixed the trash bags and added some vaguely pretty beach art to his walls, his bachelor pad started to see a lot more action, and he found it much easier to persuade his date to stay awhile.

Simply by hanging a painting or adding a throw pillow, you can create a more appealing place to spend hours lingering in quiet conversation.
