Hello World! Welcome Friends! Please welcome Jessica Kane to the blog today! If you want to make a man cave in your home, or if you already have one and want to boost its appearance and functionality, you may wonder what steps you need to take in that regard. There are six solid do it yourself strategies you can utilize to create or improve a man cave in your home.
Light and Gray
You can give your man cave a powerful appearance by sticking with the basics. This includes the colors used on the walls and floor of your space as well as in regard to the furniture you select.
Sticking with lighter colors, complimented of accented with gray, can provide the simply powerful look and feel you want for your man cave. For example, you can use a shade of gray on the walls and accent that with traditional or modern furnishings in tan or oak. The combination will be compelling, inviting, and comfortable.
If gray doesn’t make enough of a statement for you, consider blending light colors with black. Along these lines, you can paint the walls a lighter color, like tan, oak, or sandy, and accent that hue with black furniture.
Sports Room Look
Many a man cave features a clutter of sports memorabilia. In the grand scheme of things, and with an eye to the long term, clutter in any type of space — including a man cave — is never a good idea.
You most definitely can utilize sports memorabilia in outfitting your man cave. In fact, that is a ideal course to take. With that said, you don’t need to display memorabilia in a willy-nilly fashion.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with adding a sense of style and sophistication to the manner in which sports memorabilia is presented in your man cave. The first step in this regard is being at least somewhat conservative with the volume of sports memorabilia you bring into your man cave.
Think seriously about how you will display sports memorability. For example, if you have some interesting items, consider building or buying a suitable display case. This provides a classier presentation that is the case when “stuff” is nailed here and there on the walls of a man cave.
Be Bold with Color
You need not forget that a man cave is your space. Thus, if you want to go a bit wild with color, that is your prerogative.
You can paint the walls in a bold color and compliment it with the flooring. This can be accomplished in one of two workable ways. First, you can go for bold all around, go for bold with both the walls and floor.
Second, you can go bold with either the walls of the floor and then calm it down on the other part of the room. In either case, you do make an affirmative statement both about you and your man cave when you are not afraid to go bold in regard to color.
Rock and Roll Man Cave
Your man cave need not be centered around sports. It not be another name for a home theater. If you are a music lover, that can be the focus of your man cave.
If you are a fan of rock and roll, you have a myriad of options available to you. For example, you can pick a decade — the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s — and craft a rock and roll themed man cave around the era selected.
Active Man Cave
Another course you can take with your man cave is to turn it into a space for games and activities. This certainly is a common approach to a man cave, but many people take a partial approach to creating an active space. For example, they add a pool table from Triangle Billiards and stop.
You can truly make your man cave a space for activities and include things like a poker table, pool table, pinball machine, foosball table, and a dart board. This will turn your man cave into a highly enjoyed space where you and your guests have lively times.
Sportsman’s Man Cave
A rustic, outdoorsy look is a solid selection for a man cave. This is particularly suitable if you enjoy such activities like camping, hiking, fishing, or hunting. You can make your man cave a solid reflection of your favored activities.
You certainly can decorate your man cave with trophies from your fishing or hunting forays. You can also include photos and paintings of the scenic outdoors on the walls of your man cave.
