Every man deserves a dedicated space at home to be himselfrelax exclusively by practicing his chords, entertain his buddies with billiards or even TV, or pursuing another passion. With my husband’s help I have assembled a list of great illustrations and 8 best essentials. Take a look and tell me what you think. Did I overlook anything?

The idea of a man cave is it is decorated solely by the man, without a feminine influence. However, if I were to get my hands on a this space, this is the way I’d want it to look. High quality timber paneling from floor to ceiling, and organized built-ins to make the most of the space (because I would not wish to give away a lot of square footage to my guy’s man cave). Dark, masculine, refined, gentlemanly.

The cellar seems like a well-suited space for a man cave. A large footprint which might have been used for irregular storage can be changed to a modern and slick room. The frosted glass, dark stained wood cabinets, and polished concrete floor are quite masculine in feel. Here a long and slim floor plan reserved for a kitchenette/bar zone along with a media/lounge zone — ideal for entertaining.

The man cave ought to be inviting, masculine, comfortable and well thought out. This room provides a den-like social space for viewing TV and references the gaming and musical elements we come to anticipate.

Another basement area feels relaxed and jocular with the playful chair fabric and display cases of sports memorabilia. The stone wall provides the impression that rugged men hang out in this space.

The perfect man cave need not be dim as long as it is multi-functional. A jukebox and billiard table are only the start. The comfortable seating and heavy burgundy walls, together with nice light and an Oriental rug, illustrate a man cave can be an attractive area in the home as opposed to a sloppy and grungy corner.

A loft man cave does not need to be dark — it can be cheerful and bright by using daylight in the form of windows and skylights, and using vibrant fabrics and a brightly colored yellow felt billiards table.
Synergy Design & Structure
Blond wood isn’t the first stain I’d think for the timber I expect to see in a man cave. But coupled with dark furniture, and the requisite billiards table, it seems cool and put together. The blond wood and white walls will make a basement getaway feel lighter and less cave-like.
Now that we’ve seen a few instances, let us review a list of man cave essentials.
