Understated Luxury & Style

It doesn’t take a lot to give your man cave a visual boost. Focus on luxury finishes like leather and high-quality wood. Stick to metals in masculine shades like matte black and brushed nickel. It’s all about quality over quantity. In order to avoid filling your space with too much clutter, use wall art to represent your hobbies and interests rather than nick-knacks. Add subtle accessories to your space to make it look complete without looking overwhelming. For décor ideas that will instantly elevate your man cave, view our expert tip below.

Man Cave Artwork: Expert Tips

“Design expert Caitlyn Davidian, owner of Studio C Interiors, believes that our Earthy NYC Map framed print wall art would be a great addition to your space, especially paired with a camel leather sofa and some plum velvet accent pillows. Both of these colors will be mirrored in the art piece and bring a refined rustic element to a space. The geometric layout of the map with its blocked colors also brings a fun yet sophisticated feeling to the room. Add a black decorative modern floor lamp, an indoor potted plant and a neutral throw to complete the chic look.”

A Masculine Color Palette

Neutrals are the basis of a masculine color palette. However, there are plenty of variations to explore. Decide whether you prefer a warm or cool-toned interior. A room that uses predominantly warm tones comes across as cozy and luxurious, whereas cool tones tend to look contemporary and refined.

Black and Blue Man Cave Ideas

Black and blue are foolproof colors for man cave décor. Use unexpected shades of blue for a trendy look, and add splashes of carbon black for a dramatic effect. Play with dark teal, slate grey, and navy shades. Grey is also a timeless tone that works well with blue and black.

If you want a warmer alternative to grey that is still masculine, consider Dulux’s Color of the Year:

“Inspired by earthly simplicity and our connection to the natural world, Dulux has chosen a shade titled, ‘Brave Ground.’ This mix of beige and taupe is the perfect neutral to use as a base for your interior.”

ElephantStock's expert interior designer Elimar Lobo Sáenz shares a piece of advice when it comes to choosing colors for your man cave:

"While deep colors may be the go-to for masculine design, the most important thing is to choose a color palette that represents your personality."

Man Cave Artwork: Sizes

Need help determining the perfect canvas size for your man cave? That’s why we penned the Ultimate Wall Art Size Guide. Here is an excerpt to get you started on selecting the right measurements:

Your wall art should take about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by moldings or furniture. Measure the height and width of the wall. Now, multiply the measurements by both 0.6 and 0.75. As a result, you will get the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.

Wall art that you want to hang over furniture, such as a fireplace, a bed or a couch, should be between 2/3 and 3/4 of the furniture's width. To measure the ideal art size above your furniture, consider this example: If your couch is 6 feet wide, multiply it by 0.66 and 0.75. You need a canvas between 3.96 feet and 4.5 feet wide to fit impressively above the couch.

For more of a statement piece, go with a trendy two-piece split canvas. Our three, four, and five multi-panel sets are perfect for the contemporary man-cave. If you consider yourself daring and adventurous, try our seven-piece hexagonal print.
