A MAN
CAVE
is every guy’s
safe place. It’s
the one room
in the house
(or garage, or
shed, or wher-
ever!) that he
can call his own. No kids are allowed in, and no wife
wants to enter. But a man cave shouldn’t just be
about personal space. It should display all the things
that make you who you are, from old trophies, to
posters of your favorite ball players. This space isn’t
about mastering feng shui, or matching the carpet
with the throw pillows – forget that!
There are a few questions that need answering
when it comes to building the ultimate man cave:
What’s the theme? What’s the point? Are you
happy? Once you’ve addressed these factors and
finished building, your man cave will have all the
guys hanging their heads over their beers with envy.
The theme is important, more so if your man cave
happens to be a room in the house. You’ll need a
specific reason to have your own room – single
guys, just trust us, when you’re married, you’ll need
a legitimate reason. Sports fan? Avid Hunter? Great!
Bring home trophies, lots and lots of trophies! The
rest of your family may not want your kills hanging
on the wall in the living room, thus forcing you to
take your memorabilia elsewhere. Let this happen,
it’s a prime excuse to have your own designated
space. You’ve found your theme, and now you can
begin building.
