What to Do with an Extra Room

You just bought your home and you have designed the perfect layout for you and your family, except you notice that there’s an extra empty room. Whether you’re living alone or with a partner, deciding what to do with that room can be difficult. If you can’t come to an agreement with your spouse or have too many options that sound appealing, it can be overwhelming trying to decide. You could focus more on practicality and function with a home office or guest room, or splurge on something fun and exciting like a home theater. There are plenty of options to choose from, and if you are at a loss for what to do, we’re here to talk about some ideas you might want to consider.

1. Home Office

For those who work from home or have a hobby that they want to dedicate more time and space to, a home office might suit you the best. When you have a home office you’re more likely to be more productive because it helps with distractions. Having a separate home office also helps clear the lines between home and work since you’re not working in any of the main areas of your home or your bedroom. Even if you don’t work from home and just want a space to work on your hobbies, a home office can offer you more storage space for any crafts or projects you are working on. The storage space will allow you to clean up easily as well, because everything will have a place to go back into. If this sounds like the choice for you, you can start furnishing that empty room and view our selection of home office essentials here!

2. Guest Room

When you want your family to visit but don’t want them sleeping on the couch or have to pay for a hotel, use the extra room you have as a proper guest room. Having a guest room allows your family to stay for longer periods of time, meaning more memories with your loved ones while helping them save money. If you have a family member that is struggling, they will be able to use the guest room while they get back on their feet. Guest rooms do not have to just be for your family, your friends can benefit from them too. Imagine a friend of yours staying late one night, and they don’t feel like driving home. Whether they don’t want to drive because they are tired or drinking, you will have a place for them to stay during the night. Ready to make the choice and choose to make the extra room a guest room?

3. Home Theater Room

This option might seem like a bit of an extravagant choice, but if you have the budget and space, a home theater room can be an impressive addition to your home. You would be able to host movie marathons for your family and friends with a large TV and a good-quality sound system. Not only that, you will have comfort, convenience and the ability to watch any film you want and be completely uninterrupted. A home theater room doesn’t just have to be for movies either, you could use it to watch TV shows, sports games or even use it for gaming. You’ll be able to catch all the biggest game-changing plays by your favorite sports teams in 4K, or play the newest games on your console and enjoy the looks of high-definition graphics. Want more ambiance or a luxurious look? Add atmospheric lighting around the TV and speakers and feel completely immersed in your entertainment.
