I have a room in the basement that is already studded out that I need to finish. It’s 14x20. I need ideas and guidance. Got an electrician buddy coming to do the electrical in a few weeks. Then it’s on to drywall etc. What thickness drywall do I need? What would you do or have you done in a man cave? Considering staining the concrete floors and have to put up a drop ceiling.

I would prefer something other than sheet rock myself. The walls set the them.

Leave off drop ceiling and paint underside of floor above flat black like those new trendy restaurants do. Use Christmas lights up there to mimic stars. Get a coke machine that serves beer or gut it and make it a gun safe. Cover walls with old barn wood or new rough cut lumber in board and batten style. Used corrugated barn roofing for wainscoting or as a room ceiling. Might mess up acoustic properties with that tin on the ceiling.

I would go with wood paneling, barn wood, or something that looks better than sheet rock.

I am considering one wall, with the TV, in barnwood, but it may be too expensive to do all the walls. I got a large closet and bathroom I’m finishing as well.

I’ve seen several finished basements done this way

I have. a similar room. Stained concrete, drop ceiling, in the basement. I have drywall. The drop ceiling is ok but not ideal. Definitely need an area rug. That concrete is no good.

Why does one need a man cave? I never understood it. You already have a house
