5 Minnesota Vikings Man Cave Ideas
Whether you’re from Minnesota yourself or you just love the Vikings because of their skills on the field, you can theme your man cave in countless ways.
A dash of the Vikings’ bright purple will get you on the right path. Here are some of our best Minnesota Vikings man cave ideas.
We’re also including a handful of Vikings-themed products towards the end of this article to help with your Vikings décor.
Let’s get started!
A very signature shade Vikings man cave
You can’t miss our first man cave pick, due to that unmistakable purple on the wall.
Though using that distinctive purple certainly goes a long way to creating the perfect Vikings man cave you don’t necessarily have to paint your entire room Vikings purple.
Too much of this opulent color can get overwhelming and, quite frankly, a touch loud. It will also darken your room and make it more difficult to light.
Luckily the Vikings yellow helps offset the darkness of the purple.
Painting just a single wall purple draws the eye right to that part of the room. So instead of a full room paint job just paint a feature wall purple and work around that.
This man caver didn’t do too much else after painting. A Vikings jersey pinned to the wall and a team throw blanket on the couch pull together this room nicely.
It’s a cozy little space to hang out with a few pals, crack open some beers, and watch the Vikings play.
If we were to change anything it would be the the way the walls are painted. Instead of the main wall being purple we would keep it white, or better still yellow, so you could hang a jersey, cap, some framed photos and other Viking memorabilia.
The Minnesota Vikings purple would really pop against the lighter background.
The wall with the bookshelf could then be painted purple along with the door (while painting the frame Vikings yellow).
A Vikings decal for the glass table, with some white horns and blonde braided Helga Hats scattered around the room and maybe a vikings rug would help create the overall look.
To finish off this space nicely this NFL Vikings hover helmet
Skol! … to this Vikings man cave
There is a lot going on in this Minnesota Vikings man cave!
Although there may be too much happening for some of you in this Vikings man cave example it may just be the perfect space for others.
This could be created in either a basement or a spare room,.
It’s got character through and through. As an avid football fan, this man caver decorated pretty much every available surface with football memorabilia.
On the floor, there’s a rug that looks like a miniaturized version of the Vikings field.
The walls are plastered with framed photos and jerseys. Even the ceiling has the famous NFL football helmet complete with Vikings logos stuck up there.
Between all the signs, this man cave owner added some Vikings flags, plushies, and throw blankets.
The lighting adds to the comfort in a big way. From the strings of Christmas lights to the blue and yellow glow emanating from some lamps in either corner, this space feels very personal and comfortable.
That’s a lotta merch
Some people have called this the craziest Vikings man cave out there. We’re not quite convinced, and that claim is disputable.
What’s not as disputable is how much of a die hard Vikings fan this man caver is.
Seriously, just take a moment to drink in that collection of merchandise.
Yes, there’s the standard fare like framed jerseys, but the medals, autographed footballs, and plaques speak much more to the strong dedication this man cave owner has to his favorite team.
If you want to replicate this man cave, or even a small part of it, then you need to shop around for Vikings memorabilia in places like SportsMemorabilia.com.
Cuz colors aren’t just for wearing in a Vikings man cave!
As a football fan, you often end up with a closet full of jerseys.
You have to get one for your favorite Vikings player, well, until they retire or get traded to another team.
Then you find another favorite player, and so on and so forth. The cycle continues and you end up with a boatload of jerseys (figuratively or literally?
Only you know the answer to that.)
If you don’t have room in your closet for yet another jersey, you can always take some of your favorites out and adorn your man cave with them.
The man caver who owns the cave in the image below didn’t stop with covering the walls with jerseys. He kept going to the ceiling.
There’s so much going on here besides jerseys though; we have framed photos, autographed merchandises, a nice pool table (which would look better in purple or with a Vikings logo on it), and that large cutout of a football player.
Vikings man cave kingdom
Vikings man caves don’t come much more dedicated than our next one.
This man cave is so insane it got featured on the news.
Technically you could argue that this is not a man cave as both the husband and wife worked together on it.
Having said that, because it has all the ingredients of a man cave (and because it looks awesome) we just had to include it.
On this list, we’ve seen many a man caver who covered just about every available surface with Vikings merch, but none that went as far as this.
Almost everything in the room is dedicated to the Vikings. There’s the obvious details, like the throw on the couch, the plushies, and the custom cabinetry.
However, it’s the smaller touches that impress more, such as the Vikings keyholders on the wall and the flowers on the table in the yellow and purple Viking colors.
The extensive use of the purple is offset well with the accompanying yellow thus ensuring the room does not look too dark and that light is reflected well from all the surfaces for an an airy feel.
