For as long as there have been men, they have had the desire to escape to their own personal retreat; the man cave. It’s a place to build things, fix things, or break things, or simply to just get away from the stresses of everyday life. Your man cave should be filled with the spirit of your interests, whether it be football, carpentry, video games, or music.

With that in mind, within this blog we will be exploring the possibilities of what to do with your man cave, and how to optimise the space that you have. After you have finished reading this blog, you should head on over to Cubic Storage for further ideas on how to make the most of your space. You can find Cubic’s blog here 

Here are some great tips on how to create the ideal man cave:

Prepare Your Space

The first step is to assess the space that you have and see what can be done with it. Maybe you need to add some shelves or cubbies to store your things, or maybe you need to get creative with the limited amount of space that you have. For example, decluttering your space is a great start, it will make the room appear larger if you keep things simple.

You may even need to insulate or sound-proof your new area if you have chosen a shed for your man cave, for example. You can make the space more comfortable by installing insulation to keep it warm in the colder months.

Also, repainting with lighter colours will make your space seem bigger and give the illusion that more light is coming into the room; which is beneficial if you have limited space.

Consider Furniture and Entertainment

This is your space, so you can furnish it however you like, however it’s a great idea to invest in the comfiest sofa and chairs so that you can enjoy your hobbies and relax in maximum comfort.

A small table to put drinks on, and maybe a bookcase to store trophies, books, and decorations are all that most man caves require. If you enjoy board games or card games, though, consider adding a card table and some smaller chairs for you and your friends.

If you’re likely to entertain friends and have the budget to do so, adding a bar to your man cave with a good selection of drinks and snacks can make your space stand out from the rest. And of course, it should go without saying, no man cave would be complete without a quality sound system to enjoy all of your favourite tunes on.

Decorate Your Man Cave

Your own space should reflect your own personality, so picking out the right artwork and posters is a great way to achieve this. You can get posters of your favourite films or sports teams and frame them to put up on the walls to add a touch of personal flair to the space.

There should be things for you and your friends to grab during times when you aren’t watching TV, listening to music, or playing video games. Include the following items:

  • Books and magazines
  • Puzzles
  • Card games
  • Handheld games

Optimising Your Small Space

Many of us with man caves know the struggle of only having a small room to experiment with. However, this isn’t the end of the world. For example, you can invest in hidden storage and multi-functional furniture such as seating with drawers underneath to store your belongings. Also, you can do things like hanging mirrors on your walls so that your space feels more open and less claustrophobic.

Hopefully this blog has served as inspiration for you to create the man cave of your dreams.
