Does your home have an extra space that you’re not sure what to do with? This is your chance to create a space that fits your family’s needs and interests. Here are some popular ways you can make the most of this bonus space.
What is a flex room?
A flex room goes by many names: bonus room, spare bedroom, or even a multipurpose room. Unlike the family room or kitchen, this is an area in a home that doesn’t have a defined purpose. Flex rooms give you the option to adjust your home to accommodate unique needs as they happen. The possibilities are endless! Here are some creative ways you can use a flex room in your home.
Office
Turning a flex room into a home office is an obvious but functional option. Not only does a home office add value to your home, you’ll feel more productive working from a private workspace.
Hobby room
Dedicating a space to your passion can help your creativity flow. Having a well-organized space for your hobby, whether it’s painting, scrapbooking, music, jewelry making, or more will make creating more enjoyable.
Library
Bibliophiles will love this idea! Create a pleasant place to read and display your book collection. Fill the room with bookshelves, a comfortable chair or sofa, and task lighting and lose yourself in the pages of your favorite book.
Yoga/meditation/home gym
Flex rooms are great options for an exercise and wellness room, whether that be a gym, yoga studio, or meditation room. This option gives you a convenient way to meeting your fitness goals each day without having to leave home.
Playroom
Creating a playroom makes it easy to corral your kids’ toys into one area of the house. Kids of all ages will love playing in a space that’s just for them. You’ll love knowing most of their toys will stay in one area that won’t be seen by company. Even better? Playrooms can grow and change as your kids age.
Wine cellar or bar
Host happy hour at home by turning your flex room into a wine cellar or bar. This is a fun and sophisticated way to show off your wine collection or flex your bartending skills. It’s the perfect place for cocktails and small get-togethers with friends.
