Seven Ideas to Make the Most of The Spare Room

Now’s the time to give your spare room some serious thought about how to make the best use of this extra space in your home.

Especially after the past 18 months we’ve all experienced, which has changed the way many people use it.

Below are seven things you can do to create a room that suits your lifestyle and situation.

Home Office

Yes, we know you may already be doing this, but have you created a workspace that works for you?

Guest Room

Now we can have guests overnight again, is it time for you to give yours some TLC with new furniture, a different layout and some additional little touches like a lovely lamp and bedside table? A decent sofa bed here will give you even more options.

The Best of Both Worlds

If you’re going to sell or rent your property, this next tip is a gem if space allows. To capture the imaginations of a broader set of people looking to move, create a bedroom with a small desk.

Gym

When it’s chucking it down outside, it can be hard to get motivated to do some exercise. But having the gym a few steps down the hallway can help you keep fit. Exercise bikes are a great place to start.

Playroom

If you have children and feel their toys are waging a covert invasion of every part of your family home, the spare room can be your saviour. Create a playroom where ALL their stuff goes (and hopefully stays).

Dress to Impress

How about creating a dressing room? Yes, it’s a bit Hollywood but if you have the space and like the idea, then why not? It’s your home, after all.

Cinema Room 

Creating a magical movie room is easier than you think. All you need is a projector, screen, speakers and comfortable cushions. Oh, and popcorn to make film night something you look forward to with the family.

There are plenty of other ways to use a spare room. These include a man cave or damsel’s den, a reading room, or an artist’s studio. If you’re lucky enough to have the blank canvas a spare room provides, make the most of it.

We hope that has given you some spare room inspiration.
