Basement Transformations: Building a Man Cave

Posted September 24, 2020

One of the most popular rooms to remodel is the basement. When done right, this room can serve as a valuable addition to maximize the space and add value to any home.

When it comes to choosing how to renovate the basement, the choices are endless—you can turn a basement into practically anything you want, from a rec room, to an extra kitchen, a bedroom, or an office or a gym.

At Matrix Basement Systems, a growing trend our expert contractors love is the “man cave” basement renovation. With the help of a reputable company, this transformation allows you to enjoy incredible basement man cave designs while contributing to the value and aesthetic of your home.

The Host of the Party

One of the most popular man cave themes caters to those that love to entertain. Those that choose this type of floor plan have usually designed their man caves for the purpose of having friends over to watch ball games, play cards, eat and drink, and just bond.

Some excellent features to implement when planning a basement renovation for entertainment purposes are:

Basement Bar: Whatever your drink of choice, you want your man cave to be stocked accordingly. No better way to accomplish this than with your very own stocked basement bar. Plus, think of the reduced trips back up the stairs you’ll save yourself.
Basement Game Room: Think pool tables, Ping-Pong, or for those who are heavily into electronics, a fully loaded entertainment system complete with your console and games of choice.
Sports Area: If you and your friends are a little sportier, consider putting in a putting area, dartboard, or other sports equipment perfect to test your skills without the unnecessary risk to the structure of your home.
Band Space: Maybe you and your friends are musicians or you just really want an area dedicated to listening to music. Either way, you can’t go wrong by adding a music-friendly area for you and your friends.
