The idea of what a “man cave” is has radically changed over the last few decades, but one thing remains the same—it’s a place where a guy can kick back, relax, and feel at home and at ease. That said, there are all sorts of ways to customize one, from the type of memorabilia and décor lining the walls to the types of technology and appliances featured. However, the paint color scheme that’s chosen can also have an incredible effect on the space’s look and feel. Here are a few ideas to inspire you!
1. Navy Blue
Navy blue is timeless, and it’s quite popular these days. It creates a cozy atmosphere while allowing for flexibility in decorating—you can add virtually any type of there, from sports memorabilia to vintage movie posters or even display cases featuring collectibles. Navy also pairs well with metallic accents, leather furniture, and wood textures.
2. Shades of Gray
Gray is another classic color that boasts impressive versatility, and one particular shade that stands out is charcoal. Charcoal can fit well with both modern and traditional designs, and it can also be paired with colors like white or other lighter shades to create a nice contrast. A gray color scheme also provides a strong foundation to build on, allowing other elements to be added to the room that makes it pop!
3. Rustic Brown
If you’d rather have a man cave with a rustic feel, warm earthy tones like rich browns, deep oranges, and muted greens are all excellent choices that are certain to have you feeling right at home without overwhelming the space. These colors also bring a unique sense of nature indoors, if that’s what you’re going for. You can also pair these earthy hues with natural materials like wood, stone, and leather for a rustic lodge-inspired look; consider your furniture, seating, and even baseboards here.
4. Sports Teams Colors
If your space is a shrine to your favorite team, then there’s no better way to show your team spirit than by painting your man cave to match your squad’s colors! Whether it’s the vibrant red and white of your favorite baseball team, or the bold blue of your beloved football squad, there really is no wrong answer here—it’s all about being a superfan and creating a dynamic and exciting space for all of your gameday parties!
