Home may be a Man's Castle but we all know the only place he actually gets to control is THE MAN CAVE!
A recent survey found that 40% of men have a Man Cave in their house filled with all their precious man possessions and another 13 percent are in the planning stages to bring their own cave to life. The ultimate Cave is a place where guys can kick back and just be guys, surrounded by their favorite things and the latest electronic gadgets all the while drinking beer and watching the game! What could be better?
Cave
The ever growing phenomenon of the Man Cave is a thing to behold when done right and it's surprising that some men ever want to come out to see the light of day. I suspect that the need for more food may have something to do with that.
So where are these rooms going....80 percent are either using a basement (coming in at 35%), their garage (25%) or a home office (20%) as the place they retreat to.
So how does your Cave or future plans for a Cave stack up against what other men are putting into their rooms?
According to Service Magic's survey, (a company who connects contractors and consumers together) these are the top things going into the typical Caves.
The most popular things guys are putting into their Caves are:
Big-screen TV - always go big (76%)
Recliner - oooh that's comfy - (69%)
Stereo - crank up the tunes - (68%)
Cooler or Fridge - no need to come up for air right away - (67%)
DVD player - think Megan Fox - (67%)
Computer - gimme me my football stats - (65%)
Surround Sound - enough said - (64%)
Poker Tables -yeah - (19%) - what??? that % is crazy talk
Neon Beer Signs - (19%) - you gotta have at least ONE cool sign!!!
70 Percent were planning on spending ,000 or under for their rooms... the good news is that it doesn't have to be done all at once either.
To stay on budget, hand me down furniture and getting the guys to help build and paint the Cave for pizza and beer will help you save money for the more important things.
The best news of all is that two-thirds of the respondents said that they received "no resistance" to the idea of creating a Man Cave as far as their significant others went...so with that kind of acceptance and the reward awaiting you at the end of it all, go ahead and start working on that Cave Today!
