Man Cave Decor: Don’t Forget a Great Paint Job!

When you think of a man cave, you think of a room to escape the daily stresses of life, right? It’s so much more than that. 

Your man cave is a place to make all your own, separate from the design of the house. Man caves can look like the bat cave or an expensive sports memorabilia museum.

Whatever design you have in mind, it all starts with a good paint job. 

Here are some awesome design tips that start with paint and end with the perfect man cave decor.

To begin, you’ll need to start from scratch. That means taking a room like a basement, storage room, guest bedroom or even a storage shed outside to transform. 

When you’ve picked the perfect place, it’s time to evaluate the space. Remove any unsightly wallpaper and patch holes to repair it back to normal. 

Take out all furniture you don’t want in your man cave. Once you do this, it’s time to move on to the next step. 

This is your space to make it how you want. Are you obsessed with superheroes? Create a tribute to your favorites by hanging up posters and placing action figures on shelves.

Whatever your style, stick with that aesthetic all throughout. It won’t make sense to have half of the room look like a cabin and the other half look modern. 

Once you have that, draw it up on paper and keep it with you when you go shopping for man cave decor and paint. 

Do you already have an idea in mind to go with your aesthetic? To make that idea come to life, you’ll need to come up with a paint scheme. 

This can include neutral contrasting colors like black and white or gray and beige. If you’re unsure, think of the theme you want to portray through paint.

Is it dark and moody? Light and bright? Start with a simple palette and go from there. 

Now that you’ve chosen your paint scheme, one way to make any room stand out is to have a feature wall. This brings in more contrast and balances the room.

Feature walls can be made entirely out of wood like shiplap or large river rocks. You want something that’ll liven up the room and be made a focal point. 

This can also be very budget-friendly as materials can be sought out in a local junkyard or from building companies that have tossed out unused supplies. 

To bring those final touches into your room, you’ll need to decorate. Nothing completes a cabin look like a mounted deer head or a theater like movie posters. 

Whether you decide to purchase your decor or create your own, it’s the key to have a complete, cohesive man cave.

Every good man cave always starts with paint. Adding that pop of color to a room makes it stand out on its own and can be fitted to your liking.
