How to Build the Perfect Man Cave

How to Build the Perfect Man Cave

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 03 Apr 2018, 01:50 pm

The idea to break away from the monotonous routine sounds fascinating, especially in today’s day and age when most people are stuck in a cubicle with no rest in sight. There’s absolutely a dearth of ‘me-time’, and the constant burgeoning of responsibilities added with work further pulls us away from ourselves. We all crave that weekend where we are by ourselves, undisturbed and killing time like nobody’s business.

Imagine chilling over the weekend or coming from office and lazing around in your Man Cave. Yes, a Man Cave! We’re sorry ladies, but it’s just what it’s called, and you can also build one for yourself!

So, what is a Man Cave?

A retreat room, corner, space or area that is exclusively reserved for one person (typically a male person) in a solitary condition, away from the rest of the house areas. It is a specific area where a person can chill, play, work or involve themselves in their hobbies without interruption. A man cave is typically undisturbed and serves a purpose for leisurely activities. If you also dream of having a space to get away from the world, a man cave will rightfully serve your purpose.

Let’s take a look at what exactly you need for the perfect man cave.

1. A Battle Station

A battle station refers to a computer setup that serves as the ultimate gaming pod. You can add a TV above the desktop and make it the perfect viewing area. All modern man caves are incomplete without a viewing area, so you can watch your favourite movie or binge watch Netflix on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Also, make sure the TV complements the area where it’s placed. You don’t want to have a TV too big or small for your man cave. Investing in a good LED TV with 4K resolution and a futureproof desktop gaming PC can work well for a man cave. Your viewing area must be backed by an accent wall for that plush look.

2. A La-Z-Boy Recliner

Let’s be straightforward. You’re making a man cave to chill, and there’s no better way to invest in a recliner that provides the ultimate comfort. It will be the perfect companion for those long hours of binge-watching since you’ll be spending most of your time sitting in the La-Z-Boy recliner.

3. A Humble Mattress

A single bed mattress snuggled in a corner is a must! You can even put the mattress in front of your viewing area if you have a couple of friends over for a house party or a movie night. Mattress like Sunday Latex Plus 3 from Sunday Mattress is the perfect choice if you are looking for a plush feeling mattress that’s not too soft. It’s also 8 inches thick and boasts of Belgian latex. The best part? If a friend sleeps while watching a movie, they ’ll never be disturbed since it comes with zero partner disturbance. So, investing in a single bed mattress for your man cave will give you space to sleep and laze around too! Make use of the 100-night trial offered by Sunday mattress to be sure of your purchase and bring in the best mattress for your man cave.

4. A Spacious Bar Cabinet

All man caves are incomplete without a bar cabinet. Some alcohol must also complement your ultimate place to chill and relax. Find that perfect wooden bar cabinet that goes along with the rest of the furniture and wall colour. Also, look for a taste fulset of wine and whisky glasses to lend that sophisticated bar look.

5. A Book Shelf

If you’re an avid reader, a bookshelf for your gentleman cave will be a worthy addition. You can choose a simple wall mounted shelf if you have a small collection or get yourself a proper floor to ceiling bookshelf to accommodate your everlasting collection. It can also be used as a space to store DVDs, Blu-rays, or even your extensive vinyl collection!

The idea of a mancave or man space starts from imagination and can extend as far as you’re willing to accommodate new things. It’s your personal space and giving it your own flavour is the way to go. The things mentioned are basics and a part of every mancave ever built. Remember, nothing is perfect, but you can start somewhere to give your solitary time some space it deserves.
