About Us

Welcome to Calmer Corners — where calm begins at home.

I’m Michael McGrath, and this space began as a personal journey — one rooted in the search for balance, comfort, and meaningful self-expression through home design and daily rituals.

Originally launched as Man Cave Know How, this site started by helping guys (like me) build spaces that felt personal, peaceful, and empowering. But over time, it grew — not just in scope, but in intention.

Friends, family, and readers from all walks of life began seeking the same thing I was: a way to make their surroundings more supportive of the lives they wanted to live.

That’s how Calmer Corners was born.

Today, Calmer Corners is about more than man caves or decor tips.

It’s a growing lifestyle resource devoted to helping you create calm in every corner of your world — from the spaces you style to the habits you form.

Here, you’ll find:

• Thoughtful home design guides that inspire serenity, not stress

• DIY & creative projects that make space feel personal and purposeful

• Wellness routines that help you reset, recharge, and reclaim your energy

• And daily rhythms that foster simplicity and intentional living

Whether you’re creating a cozy nook, simplifying your schedule, or just needing a softer landing place after a busy day — this site is for you.

Thanks for being here. You’re in good company.

— Michael
