The term man cave is a cheesy cliché that conjures up visions of dank rooms where good taste and décor go to die. But the concept of carving out a sanctuary in your home designed to celebrate your passions and to help you to unwind and recharge is something we can all embrace. Check out these stylish takes on the concept of a man cave that are inclusive enough to make people of any gender feel at home.

Chicago-based interior designer Rae Duncan of Rae Duncan Interior Design created what she calls the “ultimate man cave” by breaking up the large space into zones. Here, a cozy sectional anchors a built-in bookshelf and media wall for reading, movie nights, or watching the game. An adjacent pool table area is anchored by warm bronze-toned pendant lights that contrast nicely with the rich blue paint on the walls; additional built-in ceiling lighting helps players keep their eyes on the balls.
