Location, Location, Location

Your first consideration (of course) is where you plan to put your Man Cave. Unless you are in the process of building a new home or plan to build onto your existing home, you will need to convert an existing space in your home for your home getaway.

Theme

Now that you've figured out where you will put your Man Cave you need a theme that, as the Dude says, "really ties the room together." Your main considerations to help determine your theme are:

(1) What do you plan to use the room for?

(2) What are your hobbies and interests?

Are you a car guy or a sports fanatic? A gamer or outdoorsman? A gym rat or couch potato? Whatever your interests, here are a few examples to inspire you!
