Man Cave Ideas | Creating space for fun at home

Creating space for fun at home

Man Cave Ideas | A mancave is a space at home dedicated to fun, relaxation, and maybe a hobby or two. It is usually an unorthodox space that you wouldn’t find inside a traditional home. 

Creating fun at home is important, and a man cave is a simple way to do it! Every human of any gender or age to enjoy fun, games and sports. That’s why we’ve explored some great garden man cave ideas to get you inspired…

About Mancaves

Benefits of a garden room man cave:

Having a garden room building installed is a great way to create a perfect man cave space at home. 

• Detached from the home for total privacy and noise control
• Fully insulated for year-round use
• Cheaper than an extension or other traditional home extension options – (see price comparisons)

Sizes

At Green Retreats, we have 5 garden room designs to choose from, with each design available in over 70 size configurations (plus our most cost-effective garden room Basebox!). This means we are sure to have a mancave building design that fits your available space and needs.

Large Garden Man Cave Ideas

Large garden man caves are ideal for your bigger man cave ideas. They’re perfect for pool tables, arcade games, or large-screen TVs. A large garden building also gives you the best opportunity to create a multi-purpose garden room with the help of smart furnishing or our partition wall options. How about a games room and office in one?!

Small Garden Man Cave Ideas

A small garden room is a great mancave solution when space is tight. If your mancave plans don’t need large-scale equipment, then there is a whole lot that can be done with a smaller space. 

Completely customisable

Every Green Retreats garden building comes as a blank canvas for you to create your perfect mancave. We include all of the essentials and building options for you to create an environment ready for furnishing with whatever ideas you have. 

Choose from a range of cladding options, internal lighting, flooring, doors and windows, sizes and much more… the rest is up to you!

Top 5 Man Cave Ideas:

You might have your man cave ideas already, but if not, why not get inspired by some of our previous customer projects:

1. Cinema Room

This man cave idea is fun for the whole family. Garden cinemas aren’t just a summertime activity when your cinema is situated in a fully insulated garden room. Get creative by adding a bar section complete with snacks so you get the full cinema experience.

2. Games Room

Many rooms in traditional houses aren’t the right shape, size, or location to be games rooms. This is why a garden games room is the perfect solution. You can design the perfect shape and size to suit whatever games you have in mind. 

An adults-only games room classic is, of course, a game of cards. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a poker player but are not ready to play in the big leagues, you could transform your garden man cave into a player’s paradise with a Luxury Poker Table. Make your guests feel like they’re right there in Vegas the second they walk in (staycation goals!). Nothing says an adult’s or gentleman’s evening like getting the chips out and sitting around a poker table.

3. Garden Bar

Creating a fun and exciting garden bar gives you a way to separate home life, work life, and entertaining life. Imagine…clocking off work on a Friday and heading straight to your garden bar that is just a stone’s throw away from your back door! 

4. Garden Pub

Going to the pub is a Great British pastime, so creating one at home just makes sense! A garden pub is a great place to escape the stresses of day to day life as well as having an entertainment space to host all your nearest and dearest, even when the weather doesn’t want to play ball.  

5. Sports Room

Making space at home to fully appreciate your favourite sport is often met with some resistance from the rest of your household. Finding something that everyone enjoys is tough, so take yourself out of the equation and out of the house for that matter! A sports room can be your escape to watch your sport, play your sport or display all of your cherished memorabilia. 

A sports games room is the perfect place for some light-hearted, nostalgic fun. Look at adding a pool table or a classic football table. Indulge in some healthy competition to blow off some steam after a day’s work, or even use it to decide who has to cook dinner!
