Here Are 5 Simple Ways to Make a Man Cave Better

Any real man cave ought to be fit for a king! But what fundamental components make up the swankiest male space? Interior designer Betsy Helmuth, who runs Affordable Interior Design in New York City, offers her expert advice and discoveries.

Instead, go with a plush rug to make your space feel cozier and more luxurious. However, be ready for spills: Choose a rug that's simple to clean or, even better, carpet tiles that can be replaced when stains prove to be too difficult to remove.
