The Man Cave is defined as a retreat or sanctuary for males in the home. This space is meant to be exclusively for the man and is designed to make him feel comfortable and at home. Here, the Discern Design Studio has created a trendy industrial bedroom that ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to great man caves. It is simple, modern and has everything a man could ask for. The furniture is clean with sleek lines making the room inviting yet not too homely either. The colors are dark and moody, further enhancing the masculine nature of the room while retaining some level of warmth through the heavy furniture and mood lighting. The décor style here is trendy industrial, something that you will commonly find in bars and restaurants. The look has become extremely popular and has now moved into the home as well. This is well suited to a younger person who knows his tastes and is curious to experiment with new looks and ideas. You will find textures of distressed wood, oxidised metal patinas, brickwork and peeling paint in this space. This look is casual, yet right on trend. The colors have been kept neutral, with the highlight being the large, statement-making Olio King Bed from The Furniture Republic. Upholstered in artificial black leather, and featuring a mix of metals, as seen in the wooden frame and stainless steel legs, the bed is incredibly masculine and is the perfect stylistic element that brings the room together.

The lighting is dark and moody, though with an industrial feel. The Driftwood Floor Lamp from The Furniture Republic is a great accent for the room with its natural driftwood base and fabric shade, as it adds a dash of much-needed warmth. The Classical Nautical Loft Wall Light - Subway from Ivanka Lumiere is inspired by the design of a submarine and is really funky. These two stand-out pieces instantly catch the eye and show that a man cave can also have a sense of fun with eclectic decor pieces.

The dark walnut flooring complements the Pantone shade of Slate which was picked for the walls, and Cloud Cream, chosen for the ceiling. These small yet striking elements, along with accents such as the Modern Circular Wall Mirror and Boeberg Bookshelf, come together to create a space that is as stylish as it is functional. The furniture and decor have deliberately been kept to a minimum, with a few, well-chosen statement-making pieces creating the desired impact, without having to fill the room with too many items. The extra space that is left over, as a result, can be used for entertaining, if the occupant so desires, or as a work space.
