Over the years, the idea of the modern “man cave” has evolved quite a bit; however, they’ve constantly remained places where we can kick back, relax, and unwind after a long day of work. Now, they’ve also become spaces where we can feature our passions, our personalities, and our interests—and the right paint color can allow you to do this! If you’re getting ready to paint your new man cave, look no further than these five exciting color scheme ideas.
1. Navy Blue
Navy blue pairs well with all types of furniture, including luxurious leather of all colors, and it also looks great against sports memorabilia, posters, and displayed collections. Few colors can simultaneously exude both strength and serenity the way that navy can, and thanks to its impressive versatility, you can use either a touch of it or feature it prominently in your space.
2. Rustic Brown
Perhaps you want your man cave to feel a little outdoorsy, reminiscent of a log cabin or hunting lodge where you spent days of your youth. Rustic shades of brown work well here; you can also consider lighter, neutral shades like sandbar, tan, or even espresso. And if you want to foster a comfortable, cozy vibe more reminiscent of old-school clubs or libraries, look no further than vintage leather brown.
3. White
White has remained a staple in both interior and exterior design for centuries, and for several good reasons. It’s remarkably versatile and can be paired with pretty much any other combination of colors, it provides you with a clean backdrop for whatever other décor you want to add, and it comes in all sorts of tones, meaning that you can find a variety that works well for your plans. It does show smudges and scuffs, so if you’re planning on hosting guests frequently, you might want to go with an off-white tone such as cream.
4. Charcoal Gray
Charcoal gray is a very popular tone these days, and like white, it can also provide you with a strong foundation to build on. It pairs quite well with virtually all shades of white or other light colors, creating an even amount of contrast that’s easy on the eyes. If you want to go even darker than charcoal, you might also consider black—which is especially great if you’re wanting to make your space into a home entertainment center.
5. Your Team Colors
There’s perhaps no better way to support your favorite squad and show impressive team spirit than by decking your man cave out in their colors! Whether it’s the bright red and white of your favorite baseball club, or the iconic silver and blue of America’s team, you can’t go wrong here; use those colors to make your man cave a place where game day truly feels invigorating!
