What to Do With the Extra Room in Your House

What would you do if you had an extra room in your house? Get creative because the possibilities are limitless.

Home Gym: Do you love to start your mornings with a good workout, but hate dragging yourself to a crowded gym? If you have some workout machines at home, transform your spare room into a gym. Even if you just buy some weights, a yoga mat, and other inexpensive equipment, you can turn your unused room into something useful.

Playroom: If you're tired of tripping over your kids' toys in your nice, fancy living room, turn that extra room into their own space. Paint the walls with chalkboard paint so they can write on the walls, store all of their toys in the room, and allow them to play. They'll love a space of their own, and you'll love not having a mess all over the house.

Contemplation Room: Ever just need some time alone with your thoughts? If you find yourself wanting to escape the craziness of the day and not knowing where to go, consider creating a contemplation room. Decorate it with comfortable furniture, throw pillows, and blankets. This creates a serene space where you can go to clear your head, meditate, and relax.

Library: If you're a bookworm, you've probably always dreamed of having your very own library. Now is your chance! Install bookshelves from wall to ceiling, add comfortable, sophisticated couches, and throw in cosy area rugs to make a comfy and inviting space. Just imagine relaxing after a long day in your library with your favourite book, a cup of tea, and candles.

Entertainment Centre: If you don't have a den or finished basement, and only a formal living room, you may want to consider turning the spare room into an entertainment centre. Use dark woods and deep colours, reclining chairs and a sectional couch, and top it off with a flat-screen television for the perfect movie theatre feel. It can be a great place to have a movie marathon on a rainy day!

Having a spare room in the home leaves you with countless opportunities to be unique and create a special room that's all your own!
