I don’t understand why so many men outright refuse to participate in the design of their own space. As a result of their own negligence, they are overrun and their homes bear no visible evidence that it is occupied by a human male.
I have never been a fan of the “man cave” concept; that men’s things are so obviously tasteless and stupid that they ought to be relegated to a garage or basement where no other member of the family or guest need be subjected to their vulgarity. A very cool home is usually the product of more than one mind. A house that is completely overrun with floral, pastel, and leopard is every bit as ugly as the “man-cave” anyway. It is possible to incorporate some things that you like into the broader aesthetic of your home without turning it into “his and hers” spaces. You live here too, stupid. Compromise, you don’t have to cover the wall in posters of chicks on hot-rods, but certainly there is somewhere that the Todd McFarlane print or hand-stitched leather football can be displayed.
How about a three-dimensional, bathymetric chart laser-cut into Baltic birch wood from Below The Boat? Yeah, how about that.
