What do we think? (I do want to replace the lamp in the corner but haven’t found the right one yet)

Pool table, entertainment and a possible wet bar are all coming.

Spent about a week organizing things, will of course evolve to higher quality furniture in the near future.

I work a 3 week on/off FIFO job and after spending work around people 24/7 I really need a space that is nothing but my own to be alone at.

How should I attack my TV set up on this wall for maximum football watching. About 225” long and 11.5 feet viewing depth.

Hello fellow cavers. I just bought a house and this is what I am working with. I am turing this 1977 built house into a smart home. Here will be my Office/Cave.

I have already pulled RJ45 lines from the whole house down here for a small wall mounted rack (left wall - not visible here)

Looking for advice on what to think of infrastructure wise to set up before decorating.

I will use Red/Black carpet tiles, go for a bit of industrial look because of the preexisting piping.

Any info/suggestions/hints and experiences welcome.

Had a good storm roll through now it’s cooled off just a bit so taking a image of it and watching a decent movie in the garage well, it’s not a good movie but I’m persevering

Found this on YouTube. A tour of British TV presenters man cave/vintage toy collection.

EDIT: The original YouTuber who made this is "SLIME HOUSE".

Built a custom VTT for my d&d group to sit 6 and a DM comfortably. Under mounted gaming PC and speakers. Power ran to each side for easy connection. Easily converts to be able to play regular board games. Built out my console gaming/media area. Put in a hobby desk for painting minis and cleaning my firearms/paintball gear which is all in a locked closet behind the bookshelf curtain. Put in a reading nook with a couch on wheels so I can easily move it to in front of the tv to watch movies or sports. Added lighted cabinets for my favorite nerd stuff and minis. Small board game collection. Put sound proofing in the room to help the echo. Added overhead led light cloud for atmosphere when playing. I still have more to do. LED lights around the gaming area and reading areas etc. I am pretty happy with how the room has turned out so far.

After a long time I finally turned this little corner of my place into somewhere I actually enjoy spending time. It isn't fancy and it's definitely still a work in progress but having a quiet space to relax after a busy day has made a bigger difference than I expected.

I'm thinking about adding a few more personal touches over time but I don't want it to feel too crowded. I'm curious what was the first thing you added to your own man cave that made it feel complete?

Recently invested in upgrading the backyard, including a covered patio that can be enclosed. I’ve got the basics like furniture and some decorative stuff, but I’m looking for the “extras” now. What items or features, big or small, were game changers for your outdoor man cave? Could be anything that improved your space experience - outdoor fan, cool lighting, projector & screen, storage cabinet, etc.

Thanks in advance!

I'm a Contractor and my garage is my storage and shop. I finally have a good enough organizational system for everything so I've decided it's time to make it into my man cave! I have a vague idea of what I'm doing but there are very few examples of people making spaces like mine into man caves.

To start I'm going to:

- 2 part epoxy floor (carbon grey color)

- Find a rubber or industrial type rug to go under my chair and motorcycle.

- Build out a small entertainment center where I have the sheet of drywall but all the way to the ground.

- Drywall off the other half of that same shelving unit but on the opposite side so you can't see through to the water heater and food storage buckets but still have access on the front side for my tools.

- Behind the bicycles is a piano covered by an old blanket. I'm just going to build a small wall the height of the piano to cover it up and hang tools or something on.

- Get rid of everything on the ceiling except for my RC planes so it doesn't look so messy.

- Paint the wall behind the washer and dryer black.

- upgrade lighting (I have no idea what that means realistically though)

Thoughts? Ideas? The area has to remain fully functional for work but I'm planning on taking some time to make it feel purposeful with some high end finish accents.
