A place where he and his pals can hang out and escape the real world. The sky’s the limit when it comes to mancave themes. You can devote your space to sports, old movie memorabilia, or even a rock n’ roll recording studio. Nowadays, the garage is fast becoming a space to transform into a man cave. For instance, imagine a private ultimate man cave that mimics the old grease monkey garages from the 1950s where you can work on your vintage cars, pickups, and Jeeps with some Elvis Presley singing “Hound Dog” from a vintage jukebox. While most garages are utilized for parking your vehicle and for much-needed overhead storage space like made in the USA garage storage racks, some men (and women) would rather use the area for something that better reflects their individual personality and that, simply speaking, is a heck of a lot more fun. According to a recent article, your living room or den might be a great place to relax with the whole family, but there’s nothing quite like having your own place to hide out and just be you. It’s what’s commonly called a man cave. What happens when you don’t have room in your house for a man cave? You step into the garage and imagine the possibilities. If you are, in fact, considering converting your empty garage into a fun space, you should let your imagination run wild. Most man caves are so unique, from hunting themes to American football themes, it’s as though no two are alike. That said, here are some tips on transforming your garage into the ultimate man cave. A Two-Car/Section Garage Man Cave One neat, if not practical, the idea is to separate your garage into two sections. There can be an area for tools and equipment for when you need to work on your house. The other can contain couches, a TV, a foosball table, a mini-fridge, and even a full free-weight area for workouts. A Memorabilia Garage Conversion Man Cave Maybe you’re a diehard fan of the New York Football Giants or any number of professional and/or collegiate sports teams. If that’s the case, then chances are you own a lot of your favorite team’s memorabilia. Now you can create a man cave that shows off all your collectibles. Have collectibles like signed footballs, baseballs, and jerseys placed in frames and shadow boxes, then proudly display them on the walls. Add a pool table, a fully stocked bar, and some flat-screen TVs, and you’re ready for the coin toss. A Retro Man Cave If you want to be transported to another time and era, you can transform your garage into something from out of the past. You can create your own Twilight Zone by installing old road signs like Route 66 purchased from a flea market. You can add a jukebox and fill it with old .45s. Put up some dart boards and seating that takes on the shape of a classic vintage car. If you have enough space you could even have a section dedicated to displaying your Lamborghini Miura or other timeless cars – or even some artwork/parts to display as an alternative. A Movie Theater Cave If you love going to the movies but don’t always want to get in the car, drive to the mall, and shell out a Benjamin for tickets, popcorn, and a giant soda, why not invest in your own movie theater? You can outfit your garage with a home theater-sized HD flat screen, surround sound, luxury leather theater seating, and soundproofing so that the neighbors don’t think World War Three has reached our shores when you stream Saving Private Ryan. You can also add canister lighting and elegant wall finishes like velvet curtains to make your theater appear identical to a Hollywood executive screening room. A must-have for bestselling pulp fiction authors and screenwriters. A Game Room Man Cave Why not turn your garage into a big space that houses all your favorite games? You can add a pool table, a foosball table, and an air hockey table, plus retro stand-up video games like Tron, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and more. Add a small bar and a fridge packed with beer and soda, plus plenty of overhead lighting, and you’re ready to play the night away. Conclusion There you have it, some great ideas on how to turn your garage into a man cave. It’s important to note that the most important part of any man cave is that it’s a reflection of you and what you love. So, go ahead and let your inner child out to play. Build the man cave of your dreams. The only limit is your imagination.
