If you have the luxury of space, create a comfortable den to stretch out and watch the game. Decorate surrounding walls and shelves with collectibles from your family's favorite teams.

Another basement room feels relaxed and jocular with the playful chair fabric and display cases of sports memorabilia. The stone wall gives the impression that rugged men hang out in this space.

1. A space that’s not too large but not too small. If the space is too small it’ll be claustrophobic and people won’t enjoy — never mind being able to see — the game. If too large, the room will have the feel of one of those 75-percent empty stadiums, where the silence can be deadly.2. Soundproofing. The sound will get turned up and there will be clapping, cries of anguish, cheers and more. So if the space isn’t in a bunker you’ll probably want to have lots of sound-absorbent materials such as fabric, carpet and curtains in your space. Of course, this all probably is at odds with having a room that’s easy to clean. (See point number 8.)

Enter man caves. Whether we're building a boat, playing computer games, reading car magazines, listening to loud music, working on a motorcycle, or watching action movies or five sports games at once, man caves serve a basic psychological function, even if the guy is aware of it or not. And it's especially vital if the guy's emotional needs aren’t being met in other spaces. (Sorry, honey, but that fake moss inside a cloche is doing nothing for me.) “It’s a way of saying, ‘I love my family and flowers, but that’s not what I need to regulate my emotions,’” Gosling says. “Man caves are the architectural equivalent to hanging out with your mates."So you see? We are fragile emotional beings. We just need a kegerator (a refrigerator for a keg of beer) and power tools to cope.When it comes to designing and outfitting a man cave, Gosling says it's extremely important that there is no compromise. (Shall I repeat that, ladies? No compromise!)That's because a space that properly satisfies and regulates emotional and psychological needs is much less likely to evolve if someone else influences the outcome.

I love the idea that it's not a just a theater room, but rather an environment that's inviting and concealed. It's masculine. It's his and his buddies place to hang and enjoy important man meetings.
