Man cave ideas for a small room
Commonly, the man cave is filled with any decorative items and equipment which greatly depend on the personality and hobbies of the man cave owner. For example, sports memorabilia, gaming equipment, home theater system, video games, billiards table, bar and many others. However, the fact is that not all homes have large basement space to create a big man cave. If you only have a small room for your man cave, there are actually many different ways to design the room.
You can paint the walls with light shade of blue, green or brown, and avoid from using dark hues. Darker colors may be used as accents and not as a paint background.
A large piece of furniture, such as the sofa can be the focal point of the room. Add two to three small pieces such as a bookcase, tables for your snacks and drinks. As soon as these have been placed, do not add any other pieces as they may cause clutter in the room.
TV sets are recommended to be installed on the wall through a wall-mounted bracket. Components, video game console or any other electronic accessories should be placed on a small shelf under the television.
The man cave can be housed with sports memorabilia, action figures and other collectibles which can be displayed on hanging shelves. This will free the floor from large cabinets and giving you more room to move. Also, avoid crowding the shelves with decorative items to avoid the accumulation of clutter.
Add lighting and mirror to illuminate the room so that it will appear airier, lighter and larger.
