Man Caves

If frilly pillows, floral patterns and strict no shoes rules are making you long for your bachelor days, Heartland Builders has two words for you—man cave. Whether it’s the basement, a spare room, the garage or a shed out back, find a space and make it your own—fast before it gets turned into a purse closet. Here are five man cave must haves from your favorite home builder near Grand Rapids.

1.      The single most important feature of any man cave? A flat screen TV— and the bigger the better. No little 32 inchers fellas—the point is to impress your friends, so think big! Looking to take your manhood to the next level? Consider a media wall of multiple TVs. The League doesn’t play one game at a time—why should you have to watch just one?

2.      Nothing kills a manly buzz like having to walk back into the world of fancy frills (sans shoes of course) to grab a beer. That’s why a beer fridge or kegorator is essential. If you have the space—and the extra money—consider asking your home builder near Grand Rapids to install a full bar.

3.      Commercials happen. And game tables provide the perfect side activity to keep you and your buddies occupied. Pool, poker, air hockey, foosball—whatever your big burly heart desires.

4.      Let’s face it, you may not be 15 anymore, but that doesn’t mean you’ve lost your desire to sit in front of the TV for three hours straight battling it out with your friends on the latest Madden football game like your life depended on it. Video games are in the male DNA and they should be in your man cave too.

5.      Last, but certainly not least, comfortable seating. Leave the stiff, upright chairs for the living room you never use. Your man cave from your home builder near Grand Rapids should be equipped with comfortable couches and recliners. The more seating the better and in the man cave matching rules do not apply.
