Although, remember that is easier said than done.<\/p>\n Instead of playing Russian Roulette with your brain and seeing whether you can remember to get up and stretch every once in a while when you\u2019re cooped up in your man cave office, why not get a standing desk converter<\/a> instead?<\/p>\n A contraption like this can help save you from too much sitting plus it can help boost productivity, too.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mancavescan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/10-Ways-to-Turn-Your-Room-Into-A-Functional-Man-Cave-Office-Man-Cave-Office-standing-desk.png” alt=”10 Ways to Turn Your Room Into A Functional Man Cave Office – Man Cave Office standing desk” title_text=”10 Ways to Turn Your Room Into A Functional Man Cave Office – Man Cave Office standing desk” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”60%” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”80%” width_last_edited=”on|phone”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n Sure, the goal is to make a space that\u2019s conducive for working and getting things done but, you know what they say: \u201call work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.\u201d<\/p>\n Aside from focusing on building an environment that fosters productivity and creativity, be sure to add in some elements of fun to your man cave office as well.<\/p>\n If you like pool, adding a pool table where you can play for a bit while you take a break from work would be a really good idea.

A treadmill or an elliptical to free up your mind and release some endorphins to get rid of stress would be brilliant.<\/p>\n Think about what you like doing best when work gets a bit much and try to put that in your man cave office.

Aside from a good office chair, having a comfy couch is also a great idea.<\/p>\n Check out our top picks for the best man cave couches here<\/a>. Good cooling and heating is something to put on your checklist, too.
