Western New Yorkers typically have basements in their homes, and Ivy Lea Construction often helps people perfect their basement “man caves” with all sorts of goodies.
According to wikipedia.com, a man cave is a male sanctuary where guys can “do as they please without fear of upsetting any female sensibility about house decor or design.”
So what type of things can you put in a man cave?
Well, a lot of men like to drink beer and/or liquor, so a bar complete with drinking stools and a refrigerator to keep drinks cold is a man cave staple. Don’t be surprised to find a keg or two in a man cave.
A card table and chairs for poker belong in a man cave.
Most man caves also have sports-related stuff in them, from putting greens to pool tables, along with team pennants, posters of legendary sportsmen and teams, and trophies.
For those who are more musically inclined, a man cave can have some audio recording equipment/gear, musical instruments, and a stage for “the band” to play as loud as they want as long as the walls are insulated enough so as not to disturb others.
And what man cave these days doesn’t have a big screen TV? Indeed, man caves can sometimes resemble a movie theater, complete with recliners, popcorn machines, and “mood lighting.” The TV is for watching sports, movies and old “Three Stooges” shows.
Practical things like air conditioning, decent lighting, and extra electrical outlets are all things that can enhance a man cave space. Ivy Lea Construction is great at helping build top-notch man caves in Western New York.
