6 Things Every Man Cave Needs

Manly Decor – sports memorabilia, movie posters, cars, Harley Davidson decor, and anything to do with hunting
Comfortable Seating – a large sectional with an ottoman to rest their feet, or a few leather recliners facing the TV
Masculine Colors and Materials – think leather, dark wood, stone(leather, dark wood, stone, metal, navy blue, red, gray, or the team colors of his choice
