A Brief Guide to Painting a Man Cave

In recent years, one of the most popular home design choices that we’re seeing more and more of is the man cave. These spaces serve as havens, sanctuaries, and refuges from the stress and busyness of daily life. This means that when it comes to your own personal man cave, it should be well-furnished, well-equipped, and of course, painted a color that you love! Continue reading for a few tips to help you choose a color that serves you and your space well, along with a few choices that tend to work well for man caves of all shapes and sizes.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Man Cave Color

Before you can select a color for your man cave, you’ll want to first consider a few things about the space, such as the room’s purpose, its furnishings and decor, and the amount of lighting it receives. With these elements in mind, consider these tips:

• Man caves and basements with zero natural light can benefit from lighter and warmer colors like whites, yellows, oranges, and natural tones.
• If your space has a lot of natural (or artificial lighting), take advantage of paint sample sticks before fully committing to a certain color – the interplay between light and color can have a dramatic influence on your painted walls!
• Be mindful of color psychology and how different shades can impact one’s mood; red is known to create excitement and passion, green often instills calmness and peace, and blue can help you feel focused and productive.

7 Exciting Colors to Consider

There’s no shortage of paint colors that work well in man caves! Here are some of the most popular choices that you’re certain to love:

• Sherwin-Williams Mindful Gray, perfect for spaces and man caves that you’d like to feel like a “second living room.”
• Magnolia One Horn White, which can lighten and warm up your man cave and mimic the look of natural light.
• Benjamin Moore Morning Sunshine, for those man caves that are truly lacking sunshine and need a little bit of a boost in brightness.
• Clare Paint Good as Gold, another warm, glowing mustard shade that will brighten rooms lacking natural light.
• Sherwin-Williams Manitou Blue, which is a popular choice these days for home offices and studies. It won’t overwhelm your man cave or make it feel too dark.
• Behr Moss Mist, a lovely shade of green that sometimes appears whiter in larger, open spaces. The cool earthy feel keeps things grounded and mature.
• Benjamin Moore Lyon’s Red, which is perfect for basement bars or man caves where you’re planning to host guests. 

Of course, you aren’t limited to just these colors – you can truly go in any direction you’d like when it comes to designing the ultimate man cave! If you still have doubts, you can also consult with a team of professionals; they’ll always have a great sense of what colors will work well in a given space, and once you share your plans with them, they’ll be excited to step in and deliver excellent results!
