I have always referred to our basement as the man cave. It is a place where my husband goes when he needs a break, to hang out with his buddies or to watch a game. I recently heard the term “mom cave” and I was instantly intrigued. What is a mom cave? I want one!
Turns out a mom cave is a relatively new trend giving women, not just moms, a place to regroup, get organized or even (gasp) relax. It is essentially a prettier version of your typical home office. While women have been designing spaces for themselves for many years, Elaine Griffin, one of the Top 100 Designers named by House Beautiful, gave it a catchy name and reinvented the concept. Mom caves can come in many shapes and sizes and it turns out creating one can be quite easy. They can be a transformed extra bedroom that never gets used, a little nook hidden under your stairs or simply the far corner of your bedroom.
Here is some inspiration for creating a space in your home that is just for you.

I have this very awkward wall at the end of my upstairs hallway that is too big to leave bare, but too small to turn into a room. I am starting to think it is the perfect spot for my mom cave.
Step 1: Find the perfect wall color. Have any suggestions for paint colors that your currently loving?
