Everything you want from a home-base hideaway, just chicer.
When you think of a man cave, what comes to mind? Aggressive deer heads slapped above the mantel? Unsightly sports paraphernalia scattered across the walls? Bulky suede sofas taking up half the room? While these style-deprived clichés are all too familiar, they certainly aren’t necessary for achieving that quintessential look. With the general conventions of a man cave in mind, there are plenty of ways to make your home-base hideaway both traditionally cool and full of style.
Read below for 15+ brilliant man caves that overflow with great design.
1COOL-TONED CAMO
An explosion of pattern and color—grounded in a moody blue palette—gives this space a fun and sophisticated feel.
2WOOD-CLAD WALLS
Wood paneling, dark decor, and window shades render this man cave irresistible, with plenty of room to relax, pick up a book, or enjoy a good sports game.
3ROCKING OUT
In a sprawling Bel Air mansion designed by Lonni Paul, this area was built for the musically inclined. A wall of stylish guitars serves both form and function, while a gorgeous pale blue drum set is made for jamming out.
4STATEMENT ART
Courtney Cox's private retreat goes bold with a painting by Arsen Roje; the perfect backdrop to an energized game of pool.
5SMART SEATING
Rounded furniture and an elevated banquette makes for the perfect movie-watching experience in this luxe Lincoln Park Home.
6KEEPING A LOW PROFILE
In an L.A. home designed by Tommy and Kathleen Clements, the man cave leaves no room for excitement-induced spills, with a cocktail table made from a circa-1880 slate slab.
7FUTURISTIC FEEL
A contemporary take on the classic pool table creates a striking centerpiece to this monochromatic home bar area.
8SPORTY BAR STOOLS
A man cave's lounge area boasts a sultry and sophisticated masculine design. The black leather tufted bar provides a contrasting backdrop to the bright red bar stools, and the spirits are displayed on deep wood-clad shelves.
9YOUTHFUL ECLECTICS
This eclectic and playful seating area begs you to have fun; an oversized Hush sculpture sits behind the teal quilted couch, while a massive red Baxter lamp hangs above. The old-school gumball machine reinforces the room's youthful vibe.
10CUSTOM BILLIARDS TABLE
In Colin Kaepernick's sophisticated California bachelor pad, a former dining room was transformed into a sleek man cave anchored by a gorgeous custom pool table.
11BUILT-IN BAR
Vancouver-realtor-carmen-leal
If you don't have space for a full man cave bar, adding a built-in alternative can be just as effective. In this vibrant San Francisco bachelor pad, a bar painted in "Very Green" by Benjamin Moore is accented with a funky fish eye mirror, and topped with classic liquor decanters to mature the youthful space.
12MOVIE THEATER AMENITIES
This man cave is equipped with the amenities of the movies and all from the comforts of home. With Slurpees on tap and a professional-grade popcorn maker, game day and movie nights become even more fun.
13MODERN MEDIA ROOM
A clean-lined, monochrome media room has seating for the whole crew. An assortment of elevated TV dinner-style tables are perfect for enjoying food and drinks from the comforts of the couch.
14CUSTOM CAGED-IN BAR
Midcentury chairs in Romo velvet frame a seating area, where a custom glass-and-bronze bar cabinet holds a variety of artisan liquors. The bar is topped with a 19th-century Nigerian helmet.
15A SOPHISTICATED DESCENT
The descent to your man cave can be just as exciting as the space itself. Here, a custom glass, walnut, and steel staircase lead to a verdant and lacquered hang out area, with vintage French club chairs from Blackman Cruz.
16PING PONG CENTERPIECE
Keep the energy of your man cave high by grounding the room in a fun game. A ping pong table not only encourages guests to get up on their feet, it also adds a sporty element without overwhelming the space with paraphernalia.
17ROLLING BAR CART
While most gravitate towards wood and leather when crafting a traditional man cave, branching out can lead to an equally alluring area. In a mid-century modern bachelor pad, contemporary finishes are layered with more eccentric accents, and a rolling metal bar cart allows for transportable serving.
