Hello World! Welcome Friends! A man cave is often a man’s one place on the planet where they can truly unwind. This is a place akin to a sanctuary. A location within one’s own home where the stresses, pressures, and responsibilities of the daily grind can melt away. Whether this is stress due to work, friends, family, or all of the above. A man cave can do wonders to make these problems a thing of the past. Or at least serve as a worthwhile distraction for a few hours to elevate the stress
So when creating a man cave fit for purpose, one must address what is needed to make this sanctuary, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and above all, fun. Remember, this space might not just be for you. It may be for pals to get together, to share with your children, or to cuddle up next to that special someone. Your preferences will be different from someone else, so it can be hard to follow your own inspiration. Well, we have you covered! Here are our essentials that every man cave needs!
1. Nintendo Switch
If you are going to include a game set up in your man cave, there is no better or more fitting inclusion to consider than the Nintendo Switch. This gaming system has the capacity to take you across sprawling landscapes on massive adventures through such amazing titles as Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. Yet has the flexibility to double up as a party play gaming system. The Switch has a number of excellent titles where all your buddies can jump in and play. These include Mario Kart, Mario Party, Splatoon, or Super Smash Bros. So if you plan to host a games night, this system takes care of the planning for you.
Not to mention, this machine is completely portable, so if you want to take an aspect of your man cave on the go. That is something that the Switch can accommodate. All these attributes culminate to make this gaming machine essential for any man cave.
2. Pool Table
A certified pub classic. If you want to give your man cave that authentic gentleman’s vibe that it deserves. Then you’ll be needing a pool table to deliver on that promise. This table is as much a decorative piece of furniture tying the room together as it is a functional gaming table. Your buddies will gasp in awe when they lay eyes on your man cave with a pool table being the centerpiece tying everything together. Though make sure you stock up on some quality pool cues because they will be dying to test it out too.
The table offers the ability to play the classic pub game from the comfort of your own man cave. Where you can challenge your pals. Or if you want to rack them up and practice. You have the power to do that without losing any loose change to play. So make sure to leave space for a pool table when stocking your man cave.
3. Beer Fridge/Cooler
When you have your man cave fully decorated and kitted out. What good is all that if you have to leave the comfort of your designated man zone to get a cold beer from the fridge. That’s where a cooler or beer fridge can be a game-changer. With one of these incorporated into your setup, you no longer have to worry about leaving your seat again.
If you’re enjoying a long gaming session, watching a sports event, or simply just chilling out. A beer cooler or fridge at arm’s length from your comfy chair can be the difference between a good day and a great day. So be sure to clear a space near your chair to keep your beers cool.
4. 4K Ultra HD TV
Speaking of gaming and big sporting events. It’s going to be pretty hard to enjoy those if you don’t have a TV to sit yourself in front of. So when you’re filling your man cave. Don’t settle for a measly little screen. Go big with at least fifty inches of 4K ultra resolution HD quality. With this size of screen and quality picture, you and your buddies will be able to take in a great movie, amazing sporting game, or play video games with full vision of the screen and be able to appreciate the enhanced resolution of the picture.
If you’re looking for a more immersive feel, why not invest in a 3D TV and feel as though you’re right amongst the action on the screen. Or for a more encompassing and cozy feel, you might want to consider a curved screen. There are loads of options to choose from. So to ensure you pick the right one for your man cave, be sure to peruse these options.
5. Recliner
That’s Right, the final piece of the puzzle. Once you have gathered all the gizmos, gadgets, games, and furniture to create your man cave. You will need a place to sit yourself down to admire your creation. So you’ll be needing a recliner. Now, this can vary from person to person. Some people prefer couches or bar stools. Though the most iconic choice is the recliner armchair. This personal seat offers a comfy place to take the weight off your feet. Plus allows you to kick out your legs, lean back and truly relax in full comfort.
These come in various aesthetically pleasing options. However, our suggestion is to go for the classy leather effect. Though your man cave is your domain, so it’s merely a suggestion. We also urge you to think of others, so stock up on a few recliners if you plan to have company so you all can recline in style.
