Men Are Posting Their Homes Asking How To Make Them Better And Here Are 30 Of The Best Results
The term “man cave” tends to have a pretty pejorative meaning attached to it, as for every actually cool hangout space, there are a dozen dank, poorly lit basements with an ancient sofa. However, there are still dudes out there fighting the good fight and trying to make the place they live in be as nice as they can.
The “Male Living Space” online group is dedicated to examples of men taking a “man cave,” a room or even a whole home and making it cool and cozy. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

39m Divorced - Little Corner Loft
“Man cave” is one of those terms that has probably existed since the stone age. Yes, humans generally didn’t live in caves, but one has to imagine there were a few early men who loved the idea of just hanging out with the boys under some rocks. These days, however, it often means a basement (hence “cave”) with an old sofa, the best TV he could find and often little else.
But that doesn’t mean it applies to everyone. Certainly, the age of social media has allowed the world to look into the barebones living spaces many single men prefer, normally a mattress, bare white walls and some sort of gaming station. While it’s pretty cost efficient, there is not that much going on.

How It Started V. How It’s Going
However, there are still good reasons for a man to have his “cave.” Having a dedicated and mostly private place to fully explore his hobbies and interests is often healthy and preferred, as writer Sam Martin noted in a 2007 article, arguing that in most live-in relationships, the woman does most of the interior design.

Progress indeed. Hope piano is being used and not just dusted. I'd be comfy here.

Indeed finally some coziness and rounded, soft style. (As opposed to hard angles and minimalistic styles)

This space shouldn't work, but it actually works amazingly well! Giving me total Bollywood. I tried to do my guest room similarly, though I just used Sari fabrics.

Soooo many of these were guys with money. I like seeing how people who don't have as much manage to style their homes. It's easy to be stylish when you can afford to furnish a house in one go with cash. When you have little and buy second hand and from charities not so much..

Always love seeing real interiors, not just "professional" onces. But what saddens me a bit is that in many places with stunning views, the couch is turned away from the view so you have to get up to look out of the window. Instead the focus is on the TV. Understandable but a waste of a great view :-D

I agree. We had to do that with our home because the entire wall is windows and the only wall space is short with meaning we could only fit a small sofa if we placed it against the wall. It was the only solution. We placed two cozy accent chairs below the tv to create conversation area and those chairs have the view. The windows from behind the sofa at least create a great reading environment… and a lot of glare on the TV.

What an incredibly patronising title for a list - but then of course men can't cook or dress nice either...

I enjoyed many of the photos, but the title of this post (right now) "111 Transformations That Prove Men Can Create Incredibly Cozy Spaces"... Um...News flash?? Are we under the impression that men CAN'T create incredibly cozy places? (Seems weird)
Paul Rabit 1 week ago
Short answer is yes. Unfortunately, many people (including a lot of pandas,) assume that men are helpless with anything that breathes of 'domesticity'.

Minimalism for me. I dont like to fill my home with decorative stuff. Less cleaning!
Debbie 1 week ago
I'm not a minimalistic style prison. More Bohemian, handmade stuff (not necessarily expensive stuff!), colours, boardgames, books. So to me, these were more like " we decorated awesome apartments/buildings" - the building itself made many spaces beautiful and interesting.I really like the guy with the orange/brown colors and soft fabrics, that looked cozy to me. Like huggable cozy. And books and plants. Many of the rest were nice and pretty as well but didn't feel cozy. Many looked so very styled for sale purposes.
Debbie 1 week ago
I realize why I found many not cozy - to me, cozy is snuggling up, warm. Many spaces were very open and I am a "koukleum" (often cold person) then probably thinks the space isn't warm enough.
