The Patrick Bateman Apartment Aesthetic: How to Recreate the Look

The Patrick Bateman apartment in American Psycho is less about character and more about control through design. Defined by a tightly edited monochrome palette of ivory, black and espresso, the space leans into architectural minimalism, sharp symmetry and high-gloss materials. Marble, steel, lacquer and polished wood create a gallery-like atmosphere where every object feels intentional. Nothing is sentimental. Everything signals precision, status and restraint.

The Patrick Bateman apartment remains one of cinema’s most recognisable interiors - a benchmark in 1980s cold minimalism, defined by razor-sharp architectural lines, a disciplined monochrome palette and precisely curated luxury. Discover our edit to see how this sleek, controlled and quietly iconic aesthetic can be reimagined for a modern home.
