A man cave is more than just a room. It is a personal sanctuary where you can be whatever you want to be without being bothered by anyone. It’s that place where you and your buddies can relax, grab some drinks and most importantly play some games.
Creating a gaming man cave that is both cool, tasteful and mature can be a bit tough especially when you have no idea what you want it to look like. While this post will take care of the cave itself, if you are looking for gaming desks, check out that page.

Its simplicity is accompanied by a bias modular lighting TV and a speaker that adds to the charm in this room. It has an incredible speaker that uplifts your sound system.

It contributes immensely to the liveliness of the room. This setting has a homely look that is charming in a soft way.
I still can’t find the word that will do justice to this room. (You might wanna help out) because I think breathtaking is an understatement. If you’re finding it difficult to create that jaw-dropping lighting with just bulbs and fixtures, then you might want to consider trying LED lights to give your room this heavenly setting which has a cool look that easily creates the perfect atmosphere for games. It has a comfortable manly appeal that will sell you off as someone that is neat and tidy because that is what this room is all about. You could use a universal controller mounts to hang the controller perfectly under the TV to give it that perfect gaming appeal.

It is super easy to create by simply using well mowed artificial grass or a carpet that looks just like this.

You’ll agree with me that a game is super fun when played in the company of two to three friends. Gaming is an idea that brings people together. The beautiful thing about this layout is that you don’t have to wait for your turn.

Well, if you’re wondering what the big screen would be for, it can facilitate the addition of a fifth player. The room is fairly spacious which means you can still add more games and other accessories that suit your taste.

It offers a heavenly sight to your collections especially with the recliner that is at the same level with your monitor to provide comfort without having to strain your neck.
This matte white angular desk is custom built which means you can do it yourself or have a carpenter do it for you. The shelves built into the underside of the desk makes it a nice hiding place for wires, USB slots and whatever you don’t want to be clustering around on your desk.
A major reason why I love LED lightings is the sophistication it adorns your room with. These lights can be adjusted for brightness, RGB and other amazing effects that give your room the charm that a gaming man cave is supposed to have. An amazing thing about this setup is that it allows you the flexibility to multi-task, thanks to the three separate monitors and a reclining chair, you could be everywhere at the same time without stressing it. It also has a big TV screen that provides a larger display and can also serve a purpose that is entirely different from what the other monitor does.
This setup is perfect for your basement. The floors are made of waterproof vinyl planks to prevent you from losing all your highly prized and personal stuff that adorns your man cave. It is the perfect solution especially if you live in areas that are highly prone to flooding. One important item that you wouldn’t want to lose is your furniture especially if it is a leather couch. Having a leather chair is widely attested to be great for gaming. It is super comfy for playing games while having a nice cold drink. This room is also perfect if you do not fancy having a bar in your man cave- a refrigerator does the job well.
A lot of guys have an impressive collection ranging from games such as n64, super famicom, Saturn, sega cdx , dream cast, turbo duo, PS2, NES, master systems and game cube that needs to be well displayed in a way that makes it appealing to the other party as it is to them. This setting provides you with a great picture that is organized and tidy and still keeps its manliness at a top-notch. The tidy high shelves bring to mind an idea of how you could perfectly display your trophies like the prized possessions that they are while giving the TV and its strong TV stand a great display.
The 65 inches tv is the most outstanding feature of this man cave. A bigger screen makes the images appear very clear and more realistic which creates the perfect atmosphere for any kind of game. The matching walls and sofas add to the calmness of this cave. It is a perfect fortress for relaxation, many thanks to the LED smart home lights that are adjustable to any preferred color and Monster LED light strips that are quite affordable. It is scarcely furnished but the few furniture adorns the room in a cozy way.
Another wonderful place you could set up your man cave Is in the attic. It provides you with natural light and a feeling that is kingly especially as you get to oversee other activities around your neighborhood without being noticed. The window could also serve as a perfect getaway for a little distraction when you are tired of playing games. You should also include a gaming recliner in your room for more comfort and ease.
The manly and classy elegance of this man cave speaks for itself. It is dominating in a silent yet appealing way. If you’re the kind that prefers a bigger screen over everything else, then this room is made just for you.

This has a central theme in mind. If you’re a die-hard fan of rocket leagues, then your fantasy just played out. It is built in a particular fashion that displays a deep love for a particular game. It can be recreated in a way that speaks volumes about your love for a game without appearing childish at all. This hearty room is designed in a way that allows for a fair quantity of light, placing your couch just between the tv and the game table which affords you the comfort of doing either in a way that is pleasant to you.
This setting can warm the heart of virtually anybody, especially your female buddies and kids. It is clearly the end result of dedication and a blazing passion for a game that needs a soft touch hence its color. The concept behind most gaming caves is our inability to let go of our adolescence and having our cherished desire and youthfulness staring right at us in a place where no one forces you to be anything other than yourself. This cave speaks to both a full-grown man and a teenager with it’s well organized and tasteful display of figurines and any other collectible you may have.
If you’re a fan of multi-colored lights, then you might want to consider this. This light gives it a look that is hungry for adventure and that desired adventure will play out well if you’re gaming in a room like this. The play station light displayed under the monitor contributes to the heavenly feeling of playing a game. I’ll recommend this setup if, like me, you don’t mind being surrounded by screens that are not so far apart from each other.
This does look like a painting but it is so real. It is a wonderful place for men because of its relaxing theme that is both refreshing and strength filled. So, if you’re considering throwing away some of your old items and furniture, frames, poles, mirrors and other things, you should consider putting them into creative use by creating a man cave with a wall that looks like this. The well-polished look gives it an Irish theme that is sophisticated and charming coupled with its cool pallet board wall. It conveniently houses a great pub which has space for beers, wines and some food or snacks which means you barely have to go out once you’re in here.
LED lights are an amazing way to decorate a man cave. The RGB 5050 light strips coupled with the purple string lights, LED channels and diffusers gives the room a heroic feel that places everything right without any being more catching than the other. With a nice shelf to stock your collection of games and movies. You can barely run out of space in a room like this one. An example is the dual monitor mount that holds a 35 and 27 inches monitor which makes the difference in size barely noticeable because of the monitor adapter used for leveling the heights of the monitors. The well placed 8 inches gladiator workbench has enough room for items which contribute to the organized feel of the cave.
Having a lot of incredible game collections and sizable carpentry to stack them can be tiring when trying to figure out how you want your cave to be like. You might want to consider giving your man cave this look. The number of shelves in the room does add to the charm in it; making the room tidy, neat and manly and very organized. The recliner leather chairs are also very comfortable and can be easily substituted for a different purpose when the need arises.
A spacious basement should have this look. This cave is a tasteful and well-planned setup that has both a video gaming space and a classy pool table, each fairly apart from each other. The pool table has enough rooms for the sticks and fluance standing speakers in front, center, pole sides and rear that helps in setting a mood for any game of your choice. The looks are similar to a serene environment that can also be a getaway from distractions and help you think better.
Who doesn’t love RGB?. Even girls love RGB. A vapor colored Scheme fits into any weather condition. Cool for hot weather and warm for the winter season. This room can even defeat the purpose of a living room because you just wouldn’t want to go out. The 16ft. “super night” RGBW with a magic home controller that can be easily controlled from your phone or PC. The inviting look of the couch is credited to the LEDs under the couch that is powered by a rubber car sleeve that matches the carpet which immensely contributes to the intoxicating look of this cave.
Lighting is an important part of a gaming room and this sight testifies to that fact. It will do your eyes a lot of good if they have something to distract them when being focused on the screen and this is what this clean princely look does. With a setting like this, you don’t have to worry about getting your eyes strained while playing games( the lights behind tv takes care of this ) It also has an adjoining bar where you could act as a pretend bartender while having some drink with your friends without having to worry about missing a single picture on the big tv screen.
If the lady of the house has given you permission to set up your own man cave in the basement after serious considerations, then this look will do justice to pacify her because this setting has a family theme attached to it. If you’re considering throwing away that table because you think it’s old school, you might want to reconsider by turning it into a pool table. This setting is fairly spacious in its different compartment which means you and your friends can play different games and grab some beers while at it without having to worry about discomfort.
Giving your gaming cave a look like this is like bringing sunset to your own very abode. This heavenly look could be yours by simply using a hue light strip lighting on the bulbs, behind the TV and even the couch (all with a nightglow tagged preset). The lighting has a flexible effect that allows you to change the colors to whatever you want such as setting a timer that changes it to white during the day and slowly turning into this look during evenings is a nice idea to help cool off after a stressful day at work. Most hue lights come with adhesive strips so you could fit it into whatever corner that you want.
A gaming cave doesn’t have to be built with a particular game in mind. This room is quite spacious which means that more gaming equipment can be added to further improve its look. It has a nice and easy to carry table where you can play table games without getting in the way of your buddy that’s playing with the pinball machine or watching video games. The bar stand is situated away from the entire gaming layout which gives it a whole vibe that is different from what the gaming room professes. The beautiful yet soft Led light behind the tv and at the bar stand provides a nice contrast that adds to the unique beauty of the room.
The importance of a big tv screen for gaming cannot be overemphasized. It has a thrilling and overwhelming effect on its players, offering them a nice and bigger picture of the game. This cave has a nice setup starting from the couch to the desk and the LED lights that gives the room a central look. It is perfect for a man that doesn’t want much light in his cave, preferring to make it look sacred, off-limits and a bit dark, all factors working in togetherness to produce a cozy feeling that is unique to him.
A lot of guys are in love with more than one gaming idea. What better way to ensure that the love for all keeps burning without the other feeling cheated than having it all in your room. This room contains arcade 1-up machines especially if you’re a fan of having your own arcade. Each has two to four games on it excluding the Atari 12 in one which has 12 amazing games on it. The amazing thing is that they are like real arcade rooms which gives it an original feeling. The games can be customized to suit whatever purpose you want such as adding a better rack ball and spinner, changing the buttons and joystick, readjusting or changing the light marque, replacing the internals with a PI or PC, or even changing the whole outlook.

Everyone has creativity that should be expressed from time to time. This room comes as a perfect opportunity to display your love for art in a style that is both beautiful and unique to you.
