Have you always dreamed about having a cool man cave where you can host game nights, play poker or video games with buddies or just relax alone and watch a good movie? If yes, then it’s time to turn your dream into reality and treat yourself to the mother of all dens! Don’t know where to start? Here are a few items to put into your ultimate man cave.

Comfy seating

If your man cave lacks comfort, you might as well not even go down there! For an ultimate man cave experience, you want a good sofa and a perfect recliner. This will ensure all your buddies have a cozy place to sit, plus they are perfect for an afternoon power nap! You won’t have to worry about waking up with a stiff neck or finishing a game with a busted back. So, your number one must-have man cave item is definitely some good seating!

TV  

If you love a good game or exciting action movies, or just want to play your video games like a boss, what you need is a large TV! This is an absolute must in every man cave, no matter what your passions are. And, don’t cheap out either! The feeling of your favorite team winning is much better on a large, flat screen.

Refreshment

If you want your man cave to be truly independent of the main living area, you need to provide it with some refreshment—watching sports and playing video games is both hungry and thirsty work! So, don’t forget to put a fridge in your man cave for beers and snacks. However, you’ll need something extra for hosting the best Super Bowl parties or Men’s Nights! If you’re the one known as the “cook” amongst your friends, you might want to make a tiny kitchen in your man cave. The main thing you need is a practical Bosch range perfect for all sorts of cooking tasks from grilling steaks to baking pizzas! It will not take up all your space, but it will certainly get plenty of use, especially if you and your buddies are a hungry bunch. Plus, it will also come in handy when you need an extra burner or an oven during those big family reunions! Quench your thirst with blended beverages both with an alcoholic and non-alcoholic daiquiri or smoothie by using the best blender for you.

Good ol’ bar games

Sure, technology and gadgets are great, but nothing beats a good game of poker with friends or an exciting game of 8-ball. We are pretty sure that the first man cave ever had pool, darts or at least a poker table, so you simply must stay true to this tradition—don’t’ disappoint your ancestors! And, even if you’re huge on the latest gadgets, you can still spice things up with some tech. Get an automatic card dealer, pool ball polisher or a high-tech electronic dart board.

Something to keep your fit

Sure, man caves are designed for relaxation and entertainment, but if you want to stay the alpha male, you mustn’t let yourself go! Instead, get a few fitness items that will inspire you to work out and stay fit and strong. For instance, a dumbbell rack will not set you back too much and take too much space, but it will motivate you to do a few sets of bicep curls and triceps extensions during the commercials!

Personal touches

Even though men don’t like to admit that they care about decoration and design, adding a few personal touches to your man cave will not only make it super stylish, but also make it uniquely yours! So, if you’re a huge sports fan, framing some memorabilia is a great way to pay homage to your favorite team. If you’re into music, find some good records and display them. You can also leave all humbleness behind and fill the room with things you’re proud of. Mount the photo of that huge bass you caught last year, bring out your golf trophies or display your rare comic book issues or first edition books. This is a unique chance to express yourself, so make sure to take it!
