Four Man Cave Ideas for Your New Home

Table of Contents

We all need a place to call our own. Somewhere where we can belong and see our character reflected within. For men, this place has commonly come to be known as “the man cave.” If you’ve just moved into a new home, and you need a room all for yourself, we’ve come up with some excellent ideas to help you decorate. In this article, we are sharing ideas for a new man cave.

Play Blackjack with the Guys

One of the purposes of a man cave is to have a space where you and your friends can hang out and go wild. If you have any interest in gambling, a great way to have some fun with your buddies is to build your very own blackjack table.

For inspiration, all you have to do is take a look at the blackjack tables at land-based casinos. They have a certain shape, color, and even a vibe to them, that you could easily capture. If you are handy and enjoy DIY projects, building it yourself could be a great way to pass the time. Another option is to simply order one.

But, perhaps you don’t want a blackjack table, but still want to play. You could always visit a casino, but sometimes staying at home seems like the better option. When you are too lazy to leave your home, but still want to play some blackjack, the best option is to check out some live dealer casinos, and play the game online.

Live dealer casinos are online websites that feature a live dealer, streaming themselves to a crowd. The best part is, you can organize your very own room and select your own dealer. Which means you can still play with your buddies, while all of you are chilling in your respective mancaves.

The Gaming Corner

Video games have become a lot more popular. And let’s be honest, most man caves exist for people to have their place to game. We would be remised if we didn’t suggest having a gaming corner in your man cave, if that is what you are interested in.

If you are a PC gamer, you are going to need to get a quality desk, and the best gaming chair on the market. After all, feeling comfortable will likely contribute to your performance in the game. If you are a console gamer, then you will want a comfortable chair/couch, a slim TV, and the console of your choice.

If you are truly dedicated to gaming, a good idea would be to decorate your man cave with gaming memorabilia, classic posters, and maybe even old-school CD packages. It will give an overall “Arcade” quality to your man cave, that will truly be authentic.

Home Game Arcade

Let us stick to the topic of gaming, and suggest building your very own home game arcade. Again, we only suggest building one if you have an interest in DIY projects, that will definitely take some time. Building an arcade will be harder than a table, as it will also entail some understanding of computers and mechanics.

If you are interested in these things, building a home game arcade will be incredibly fulfilling. However, if you aren’t interested, don’t think you will be left out. You can order full blown arcade game machines on places like eBay, Amazon, AliExpress, etc. While some of them may be quite pricey, others are actually very affordable, even if you are working on a budget.

For those of you who’ve grown up with the arcades of the early 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, a home game arcade is a great way to recapture some old-school nostalgia and relieve those childhood moments, playing Street Fighter, Pac-Man, or whatever other arcade game.

Comic Corner

The rise of superhero cinema has gotten a lot of people interested in comic books. Superheroes are currently standing on top of the world, with films like Avengers: Endgame breaking the box office. If you are a fan of superheroes, and want to hop on the comic book bandwagon, why not set up a little comic book corner, where you can store all the issues, graphic novels, omnibuses, and figurines you want?

We have three ideas for what a comic book corner might look like, ranging from simple, to quite complex. The simplest way to do it is to get a couple of cardboard boxes, and just place the issues inside. The second option is to purchase an easily-assembled shelf, put it together, and store your comic books and figurines there.

Finally, the last option is to build a massive bookshelf, whether by yourself, or just have it delivered. We recommend this option for those of you who are already deeply involved in the comic book universes of Marvel, DC, or Image comics. If you already own a large amount of comics, you could store them in this bookshelf, along with any other comic-related memorabilia. Thus, you get your own little comic book corner, where you can enjoy your favorite hobby.
