Fall is the time to start perfecting your man cave. The cooler weather and football Sunday’s usually keep us indoors a lot more now. But in order to fully enjoy yourself and entertain your guests, perfecting the man cave is essential. There’s a science to it and every week we’ll provide you with tips on getting it right!

We decided the best place to start is with the theme. What’s great about choosing a theme is that it can essentially be based around anything that you like. Here are a few great options and inspirations for choosing your man cave theme:

If you love cars....

Transform your garage into a man cave. Garages turned living spaces has become a popular trend in new home designs. It’s a great part of the home to renovate because of the open space, creating an inviting place to hang out and entertain. 

If you love wine....

If you’ve felt distraught between adding a wine cellar or a man cave, consider doing both! The wine cellar can become another addition to the man cave, or install an entertainment system and comfortable chairs inside the wine tasting room – and you’ve got yourself a man cave.

If you love golf....

Kate and her team complimented Charles R. Myer’s architectural elements with a “Mad Men” vibe.

This man cave also has the ultimate touch with a secret bookcase entry.
