A Man Cave: The Best Present You Can Give A Man\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Making<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While you\u2019ve spent countless hours beautifying your home to fit your taste, your hubby has been sitting on the sidelines with that worried look on his face, wondering where he\u2019ll <\/em>be able to stretch out in a space of his own\u2014one that doesn\u2019t involve floral pillows or antique vases.<\/p>\n

This month\u00a0thought it would be fun to lend a few ideas on creating the perfect man-cave for that special man in your life.<\/p>\n

The best news is it that the perfect man cave doesn’t have to stick out like a sore thumb or be banished to the basement.<\/p>\n

With a few small touches, you may even find yourself sneaking a few minutes of calm yourself in your hubby’s man cave (we’ll keep that secret between us!)<\/p>\n

The Chair<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no such thing as a man-cave without the epic man-cave chair.<\/p>\n

e can\u2019t blame you for cringing when you think about lugging an over sized outdated lazy boy recliner into your home. (Man cave or no man cave, they\u2019re not nice to look at!) but worry not, times have changed…<\/p>\n

In\u00a02014 there are several new stylish options for every man cave that are just as comfortable as the traditional Archie Bunker-style recliner.<\/p>\n

Our top picks are the Torino Accent Chair<\/a> and Electra Accent Chair<\/a>. Both are made from faux leather and stand out as a more contemporary option for your man\u2019s space. The faux leather is perfect for easy beer or soda spill clean ups.<\/p>\n

\"electra<\/a><\/p>\n

The recliner just got a much-needed upgrade and we guarantee he\u2019ll love it just as much as you do.<\/p>\n

The Focal Point<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether your man is looking for a relaxing retreat or a space to have fun with his buddies, every man cave needs a focal point or statement piece to suit his needs.<\/p>\n

A few ideas to consider are:<\/p>\n

A TV to trump all TVs
\nA classic billiards table
\nA stocked bar area
\nA pin-ball machine
\nA dart section
\nA poker table<\/p>\n

Of course, the ultimate man-cave would have all<\/em> of these things (a masculine shangri-la!) We suggest choosing one or two of these options and making them the focal point of the space. And please, don’t ever use the word ‘shangri-la’ when in your man’s space.<\/p>\n

Remember, if you go the bar route, seating is everything. Don\u2019t get stuck with hard wooden bar stools when there are so many comfier options<\/a> to choose from!<\/p>\n

Man Cave Candles (seriously)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Candles aren\u2019t the first thing you think of when designing a man cave, but they\u2019re a must-have if you want to lessen the smell of stale Doritos.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a> The great thing about adding candles to your guy\u2019s space is there are a variety of smells he\u2019s going to love, so get him on-board in the candle-picking process!<\/p>\n

Long gone are the days of lavender and vanilla (we still love them, but your man probably won\u2019t!) and he\u2019ll be happy to know there are \u201cman candles\u201d out there with scents like cigar, campfire, NY style pizza and, yes, even bacon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We came across this amazing company called ManCans<\/a> who offer distinguishing manly smells at affordable prices, so be sure to check them out.<\/p>\n

We hope we\u2019ve !nspire\u2019d you to be flexible with your space to give your hubby the man cave he deserves. After all, they word hard to be good boyfriends, husbands, and fathers. Why not\u00a0show him just how much he means to you? Every great man deserves a space!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
