Man Cave Basics

Create a sanctuary where you can wind down, spend alone time, or hangout with friends. Man caves don’t always mean drab or cluttered. Read on our top design tips and ideas in building your own stylish yet masculine space where you can indulge in your hobbies and interests.

Functional & comfortable furniture is definitely a must-have. Add a plush sofa or sectional in the middle of the room where you can lounge during movie nights and rest days. Upholstered furniture could bring a nice, cozy charm while a leather sofa will surely be the focal point of the area. Place functional bookcases or stainless-steel display shelves to keep and show off your collectibles or prized possessions. Our Tate Wide Bookcase boasts a clean-lined and vintage design that would go well with any style.

A man cave would be incomplete without a home bar. Stock up with the essential liquors, bar tools, and glasses whether you’re into cocktails or any other type of spirit. Some basic glassware your home bar should have are wine glasses, double old-fashioned glasses, highball glasses, and martini glasses. Be the perfect host to your guests by serving cocktails with the elegant and sleek, Hatch Barware Collection.

But you can’t stop there, every room needs a bit of decoration to make it come to life. Spice things up by putting up vibrant wall art that reflects your personality like the Semblance of Order, a giclee print reproduction on canvas. With its rich tones and anchored composition, it is an eye-catching addition to your space.  Another way to enhance your space is by accenting it with sophisticated home accessories. Don’t be afraid to mix and match textures or patterns to bring out your personal style.

When it comes to color palette, shades of taupe and brown paired up with blue and burgundy can work together to create a masculine color scheme. You can include a pop of brighter color for accents. Materials such as wood and leather are good options as both could easily match many aesthetics.
 
Designing your man cave shouldn’t be too complicated. Decide on the basics and make sure your space reflects your own personal style.
