Most people don’t like to spend their entire lives being alone. But everybody needs some personal space and alone time once in a while. If there are other people in your house, getting alone time is difficult sometimes though. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a room in your home that you could have all to yourself? This room can have anything you want in it and you are in charge of that one space. Well you can. Let’s talk about something people are now calling mancaves.
A man cave is basically a place for the man of the house to relax in while alone. If you are married, you know that women always want to be in charge of colors, design, and style. You also know that it is hard to find a space in the house that is totally yours. A man cave is an attempt to give you that personal space. You basically just have one room in the house that is completely yours and you can do with it what you want to. Also it is usually an attic, basement, or bedroom and not actually a cave. This is a room where you can go to when you want to be alone and relax.
It is your cave and you can decorate however you want. So forget about flowery wallpaper, pastel painted walls, and other cheesy decor. You can pretend your in college again and put up posters of girls and rock bands if you want. Most men like to include a big screen TV in their mancaves, and video games are also popular. Comfortable furniture is a necessity as well. The rest I will leave up to you. Some popular ideas are a pool table, arcade games, and sports memorabilia. This isn’t your wife’s room it is your room so you are in charge.
Do you want a man cave but don’t have one yet? They are simple to do. You just have to find a basement, room, or even a shed that is not being used that you can claim for yourself. You don’t have to fill it up completely at first so slowly start furnishing it. Many guys like to start with just a TV and a couch and build up from there.
If you aren’t sure how you want your man cave to look, there is help available. There are loads of cool man cave ideas and pictures if you take a few minutes to search online. You can even find specialty stores with decorations and furniture for man caves. You can buy everything from lamps to recliners with your favorite sports team’s logo on them. Many people also like to decorate their walls with funny signs. And for many guys, sports memorabilia is a great decoration too. Never forget that this is your domain, so decorate it like it is.
