Why should a good man cave only be for those with loads of room to spare? Do you have a small room or small space in your garden, but love the idea of having your own man cave or home bar?

 Well we want to help provide inspiration and ideas for creating your own small man cave.

 When space is limited, it can be tough to decide how best to use it. But, in this article, we'll share our advice on how you can have a fantastic man cave, even when square footage is not in plentiful supply.

Then we’ll share some of our favourite examples of small man caves from here in the UK.

Repurpose your spaces

First things first. Find the space no matter how small. If space is at a premium then is there an area of the house or garden that you already have that you can re-purpose as a man cave?

 Sheds, garages and patio areas can all be suped-up to become your very own slice of man cave loveliness. In the home, cellars are ideal. Even a conservatory can be repurposed into more than a sitting room.

 Let’s be honest, how often do you all sit in it anyway here in the UK with our weather?!  

 Here we have an example of a small patio area. Add a pergola and straight away you have an outdoor garden man cave. You can even build your shed into the back of it and keep it out of sight!

Or if you have a smaller area in your garden then check out this lovely little bar area that has a really small foot print! 

Although tip if you are using your garden shed. Make sure you put the bar the width of the shed and not the length, to make the most of that space.

Use space-saving furniture

 Firstly, all mancaves need furniture. Without man cave furniture, you will have nowhere to sit nothing to put your drinks on and nothing to keep stuff in (obviously!)

 But, you won't be able to just add any old living room furniture, otherwise it can ruin the feel of your home bar/man cave.

 Instead of a large sofa, consider adding a "loveseat". This is slightly larger than an average sofa chair but small enough to fit into a small room.

 Use the walls as much as you can. Use wall-mountain fold-down furniture (fold down bar anyone?), which can easily be packed away when you're not using it.

 Foldable chairs are great as you can have seating when you need it. But then move it out the way when it's no longer required.

And, if you want a mini-bar, use a layered cart to rest the booze on.
