15. Under the Night Sky
Designing a good man cave can be difficult, especially when it comes to creating a theme. In the example photo, shades of blue for the furniture and ceiling add an interesting starry night theme to the space. The lights hanging from the ceiling add the right amount of background lighting to express the Starry Night theme. Additional ceiling lights contribute to the ambient lighting effect.
16. Arcade Mode
If you happen to be passionate about playing games, why not make your man cave decor your own personal gaming oasis? In this example, the space is transformed into a private bowling alley and video game arcade. No more waiting in line to get the best lane! The neutral color scheme helps keep the focus on the action going on in the alley and on the screen. A set of chairs and a table also make this space an inviting room for entertaining.
17. The Bachelor Pad Aesthetic
The key to a good man cave is a good masculine decor philosophy. Use it as a simple approach to guide your own style. The design in this photo utilizes the unique structure of the walls and ceiling to create a laid-back modernist design. This laid back atmosphere is reinforced by the lighting of the room. In addition, the pool table as the focal point of the room signifies this space as a room for entertainment.
18. Cabin Style Man Cave Idea
The lodge style doesn’t have to take a lot of effort. Take the space that you have and use it as a jumping off point for your own idea for a man cave. The best man cave design ideas for working the rustic look into your space is to keep things simple and focus on function. In this image, the natural wood architecture of the room has been utilized as a base for the look with minimal accessories. The rustic theme is further accentuated by the wood pool table and bucks around the room. A simple skin rug pulls the look together by providing visual contrast.
19. Unclamping Your Garage’s Style
Garage man cave ideas are another popular trend. In this photo, the garage area has been shifted from a bland and neutral to a tun and vibrant area repurposed into an area for entertainment. The pool table in the center has been given a motorcycle theme to match the area’s other intended purpose, working on choppers. The contrasting checkerboard floor helps keep things interesting and playful. Unlike some other examples in this list, lighting is bright to ensure the ability to easily see when working.
20. Creating the Illusion of Space through Shape
Although this room is rather small, the appearance of extra space has been achieved through the clever use of the vertical pattern of the carpet which simulates depth. The tight stacking of the arcade games also helps create this impression. Too much cramping, on the other hand, would make the room looked cluttered and stuffy. The chairs to the opposite of the arcade games help break things up, keeping things looking orderly but casual.
21. Making a Bold Statement
Bold colors can be an excellent choice for cool man cave ideas. Red, however, can be an intimidating color to work with in contrast to more popular neutral colors like brown and gray. This example shows that it doesn’t have to be difficult. A nice deep red is chosen as the central focus for this example. It works very well with the black furniture and walls. The accessories in the display case keep the theme on sports and prevent the space from seeming like a checkerboard. The televisions around the room give gentle lighting for a fun sports room ambiance.
22. Convertible Man Cave
In many homes, it isn’t that easy to redesign a room solely into a man cave. Fortunately, there are good, simple ideas for man caves to accommodate this. In the example photo, the existing arrangements of this living room haven’t been changed much. Instead, simple accessories have been added to give this space a masculine feel. The furniture is cozy while unmistakably male and blends nicely with the wood architecture already in place. The spirit of manly adventure is bolstered by the canoe theme bookcase and photo. The office in the room provides contrast while in no way seeming out of place.
23. The Upside of Unusual Ceilings
Small man cave ideas can be a real challenge in homes that don’t have that much space. In this image, this creative idea has smartly incorporated the unusual design of the ceiling into its decor. The ceiling provides a nice separation between the poker table and the home theater. Comfort is the main focus of this man cave with comfortable furniture and easy access to viewing the television.
