Father’s Day is just around the corner, which means it’s that time to start brainstorming gift ideas to make this holiday extra special! 

 

If you’re looking to give dad something that’s extra special and personal this year, you might consider the gift of a lifetime: A Man Cave.

 

Whether this is a sweet surprise or something he would love to be involved in, we have the perfect ideas for the ultimate man cave!

 

 

Potential Spaces for the Man Cave

 

There are many spaces in your home that have the potential of becoming the best man cave spot, and some of those spaces are:

 

• The Loft
• The Recreation Room
• A Secondary Bedroom
• The Basement
• The Garage
• The Shed

 

It’s a good idea to ensure everyone in the family agrees on a suitable space. You’ll want to choose a tranquil spot for your new man cave. Some place that provides a peaceful setting for personal relaxation while also allowing dad to socialize with friends without causing disruptions to others. 

 

 

Unforgettable Man Cave Themes

 

Now that you’ve chosen the right space for the man cave, it’s time to select the theme and decorations. That’s right: every man cave needs a theme and although many men don’t put a lot of thought into decorations, it’s important to choose the right decor for this room to make it homey and comfortable. To do so, focus on the likes, interests, and hobbies of whoever you’re creating the space for. Some themes you can consider include:

 

 

1. A Sports Man Cave
   • You can decorate with team posters, sports-themed pillows, autographed jerseys and balls, baseball bats, etc.
2. A Classic Man Cave 
   • You can decorate with classic arcade games, retro wall decor, neon signs, etc.
3. A Bar-Themed Man Cave 
   • You can decorate with a brick-accented wall, dart boards, classic artwork or posters of musicians, hanging guitars, etc.
4. A Sophisticated Man Cave 
   • You can decorate with a large bookshelf and ladder, large paintings, up-scale furniture and room accents, etc.
5. A Rustic Man Cave 
   • You can decorate with tin panel roofing, rock-style wallpaper, animal rugs, animal mounts, antler lights, etc.
6. A Western Man Cave
   • You can decorate with cowboy decor, classic saloon chairs, dark wall colors, rustic lighting, etc.
7. A Car-Themed Man Cave
   • You can decorate with posters, pictures, or paintings of their favorite cars, license plates on the walls, red or blue walls, car-accented seats, etc.

 

 

 

Man Cave Checklist

 

Depending on the theme you choose, you’ll want specific items scattered around the man cave. To help you know just what the man cave needs, we have created a checklist to get you started. To create a space he will love, make sure it has the following:

 

• A comfortable couch
• A television or projector screen
• A sound system or record player
• A game table, whether it’s an air hockey table, pool table, ping pong table, card table, or even dart boards
