Vintage Man Cave

You don’t have to sacrifice style in order to give your man some space, and using vintage to complete the look has never been cooler. Designer Leah Ashley discusses the masculine side of vintage and how to create a space that’s both totally rad and totally versatile. See the features of this vintage man cave that does double-duty as a man cave by day and garage by night in this video by The Design Network:

By choosing traditional pieces that already have an old world feel, this hangout space is equally as functional as it is cool. The Chesterfield sofa is the perfect start to this space. Its dramatic design is timeless, and it evokes an old world feel that could transport you to some of the world’s coolest men’s clubs from a time long since passed. the aged leather will only get better with time, and the casters make it easy to move which is perfect for this dual use space.

The gallery wall above the sofa includes favorite pieces such as a “Gone with the Wind” movie poster, a painting of a sailor, a neon photo and a world map. A cowhide rug adds extra warmth.

The file cabinet not only holds files but also serves as a side table and bar with a bamboo tray and beer glasses, and a rattan bench acts as a coffee table and also provides extra seating. On the other side of the sofa is a small martini table and a sawhorse that displays a vintage Navajo rug and a Western saddle. Vintage sofa pillows bring out the colors in the gallery wall.
