A Man Cave Fit for Game Day!

Whether you're looking to spruce up your dingy old den, or you're starting from scratch there are a few things to consider when designing a man cave.

The first thing to think about when you redesign your space is "what is the purpose of the space you are designing?" Is this the home theater room you always dreamed of, or is this going to be your reading room? The décor and light needs are drastically different between the two rooms. In either case, 3 Day Blinds has options to suit your light control needs.

Let's use the home theater room as our example. It's game day and the guys are coming over to watch the game. You are watching an afternoon game and you notice a distracting glare across your TV. Avoid the trash talk with 3 Day Blinds custom made window treatments. Glare can be a thing of the past as you close your room darkening shades. Room darkening shades help prevent light from entering the room by stopping it at the window. Now you're on your way to catching every touchdown, home run, goal or anything in-between.

Looking to show off while hosting? Add motorization to the shades for a sleek and modern feel. Your room is now under your control; you've got a remote for your TV why shouldn't you have one for your window treatments?

Another thing to consider is the furnishings. If you can't seem to part with that recliner you found at a garage sale in college, then you'll want to try and compliment or match the window treatment to the preexisting furnishings. With 3 Day Blinds it's never been easier. We have plenty of fabric options available to suit even the most eclectic of tastes. If you're buying new furniture for this game day getaway, go with your gut, but if your gut needs help staying in the dark browns and blacks is an easy way to keep a room masculine without going over the top. Subtlety and simplicity have never been more on trend than they are now. It's easy to continually add pieces to a room to show just how big a fan of the team you are, but take a step back and take a breath. Remember that adding more to the room might make it feel cramped and cluttered. So leave that rec league mvp medallion in your sock drawer and keep the focus on the game.

Remember, it can be tough to take on a whole room by yourself, so make it a little easier for yourself and call 3 Day Blinds today. We design, we measure, we install and you relax! You'll love the treatment!
