What is a man without dreams coming true in his home? A home, even a dorky “man cave,” is a place without boundaries, where personal preference is welcome and practicality has to wait by the door. These ten things a man’s dream home must have are essential, no matter what, but it’s always open to interpretation. Whether you’re Justin Bieber or Mr. Bean, a banker or a beach bum, it’s our job to build a home that is both comfortable to be in and a reflection of our deepest desires. That’s why assholes who have too much money try so hard to look like MTV Cribs (remember that show?)
Here we’ll show you some of the things you’re going to want for home improvement, especially if you’re home a lot. These ideas are simple, not always affordable, but can change a regular guy into his own personal savior. Will people start relating you to superheroes when they see your innovative home, chock full of beer-inspired seating, deluxe sports living and hip renditions of all the best that money can conjure up? Sure. But the Nerf war is obviously going to be the best part. Oh, and wood. There should be a lot of wood. Reminds you what it is to be a man!

No matter what your level of fantasy activity is, you're going to want a TV setup that suits you, your degenerate pals and your aging backs. Comfy chairs with a multi-screen setup will not only improve your status as a reliable friend, it'll make the rest of your week worthwhile.

Anyone with a bit of money is going to buy a fish tank, first chance they get. If you can add in some nostalgic decor, we highly recommend taking your fish cave to an unprecedented level that will make Sea World feel like a bunch of assholes, more so than usual.

Barbecuetionist Wet Dream

Any man cave is incomplete without the right grilling setup. May we suggest not necessarily going with the biggest, most expensive and instead try something innovative that doubles as a fire pit. That way you can chill and eat around the fire like it's a woodsy bonfire instead of eating like all the other schmucks.

"Ghostbusters" VHS

A healthy VHS collection is good for remembering your true self, but it can take up a lot of unnecessary space. May we suggest just the Ghostbusters VHS by itself? That way people know you mean business. Bustin' will make you feel good, too.

Innovated Pool Table

A pool table is a must, if you have the space for it. But why buy the same shit everyone else has when you can set up something that will glow and blow minds? Bonus points if it doubles as a ping pong or dining table.

Keg Incorporation

Any incorporation of kegs into your bar area is going to authenticate your drinking experience. Kegs don't have to be just for drinking. In fact, recycling of any kind is appreciated.

Nerf Anything

If you've got the dime for a full-court setup, go nuts, but having a Nerf hoop indoors, especially the shower or pool, is only going to improve the room. Obviously this will escalate to a full-on Nerf war that looks like your childhood suddenly became well-backed and fully funded.

Original Artwork

Original artwork is important, especially if it inspires on a constant basis. Chances are you need it to keep up what you've been doing that allows you to live such a kush lifestyle. This piece is by Zaria Forman. She's incredible, and we suggest you give her work a look. Pretty girl not included.

Oversized Hammock

Nothing says "abundant cashflow" like an oversized hammock that takes up way too much space and is completely impractical. People will tell you it's mad, but you'll just smile while you nap with your earplugs in.

Ridiculous Recycling

Any form of recycling is appreciated, even the ridiculous. You may not have money, but you can always be innovative, and nobody likes anything more than an ice cold beer recycled in Mother Nature. That's goodness.
