Has he finally won and secured his place in the house for his own man cave? Surprise your spouse with a man cave of your own? Decorating a man cave is one of the most enjoyable rooms to decorate! There are no rules and no one has to appreciate the place except the owner of the man cave!
preparing the place
Hopefully, you’ll be able to put your big screen TV in there to keep up with all your favorite teams. You have ‘your’ chair, you know that the one that everyone knows is ‘yours’ and would never dare to take over while doing a pit stop. Next, you need some comfortable seats so your cave friends can lounge with you. Choose something sustainable that can withstand the occasional drink or food spill. Adding a few games to play on days when it’s too painful to watch the rest of a disappointing game on the big screen is always a nice addition. A pool table if you can handle it, darts, and a few Nerf games for nostalgia’s sake.
your walls need something
They need sports art. Nothing says man cave like a nice collection of sports art on the walls. Conversation pieces that show your loyalty and respect for sports greats throughout the history of your favorite team. Sports art will not only add to the ambience of your sports room, it is also a good investment! Artwork autographed by an athlete and/or artist often has great resale value on the secondary market.
collect sports art
Collecting sports art has become quite lucrative for some people. An autographed lithograph or fine art giclee that portrays the athlete in their prime can make a great collectible or heirloom to pass down. Fine art today is not limited to expensive originals or just signed and numbered lithographs, you can also buy beautiful giclee on paper or canvas. Giclees are a different printing method than traditional lithographs, and often the canvas or giclee reproduction looks just like the original painting, especially if it has been enhanced by the artist.
You could decorate your room as many greats have done like Reggie White, George Brett, Robin Yount, Walter Payton and many others with an Andrew Goralski giclée, print or original. Many of the athletes that Goralski has painted have ended up hanging on the walls of the athletes themselves! A good addition to any man cave or sports art collection would be his new piece titled “From Leather to Legendary.” This new Goralski piece illustrates the bygone days of football with Curly Lambeau’s Acme Packers in their leather-head helmets and the newly renovated Lambeau Field rising out of the fog. A great piece for both serious sports art collectors and a nostalgia piece for your man cave!
