Find the Perfect Spot
This first step in creating the ultimate man cave is to seek out the best location. More often than not, man caves are found in the basements of homes — makes sense, right? A basement man cave is great for those who are rowdy sports fans or who still cling to their goal of becoming the next big rock star. The secluded location and concrete walls make it great for muffling all kinds of man cave craziness. For the more intellectually concerned cave man, consider renovating a study. It’s likely that the room will already have many essential pieces for creating a classier hideaway.

Consider using a pool table, dartboard, or even a poker table as the centerpiece for a sports themed man cave. These help establish the room’s theme with a touch of class and respect for traditional games.
For a music themed man cave, you can create a special display for one of your favorite instruments, showcase signed rock n’ roll memorabilia or even highlight your earth-shaking sound system.
This is actually a much broader theme to work with, but one centerpiece that will always stand out is an arcade machine with one of your favorite classic videogames.
If you find yourself craving the finer things in life, then a man cave with a high emphasis on quality design should be a priority. Some phenomenal centerpieces that will help to articulate your worldly taste are a mahogany bookcase and a classic lounge chair.
