Many homeowners may have a spare room in their house that does not get a lot of use. Over time, these spaces tend to become a dumping ground for various clothes, products, and general equipment that is no longer in regular use. Such spare rooms detract from the overall form and function of a home. It can be extremely worthwhile to consider renovating these underutilized spaces, so that they offer more purpose for your home. It is also important to consider that a fully renovated room can often add value to the overall asking price of a home, which can be profitable if you are considering moving house. If you are struggling with inspiration on what to convert your spare room into, the following article will be of use. It explains three key renovation ideas for your spare room which will add functionality to this space.
Gaming Room
Gaming rooms have increased in popularity as online entertainment has become more sophisticated and high quality. Today, many people take the theme of a gaming room and give it their unique spin to maximize their enjoyment of this space. If you enjoy the thrill of gambling, you could transform this space into an online casino and gaming room. Add in a card table, so that you and your friends can play games of poker. If you like the idea of an ultra-modern gambling room, consider joining a new online casino and streaming the action through a dedicated smart TV in this space. Conversely, if you prefer playing video games you could add in a gaming PC or console and some custom lighting setups to create the perfect space for playing online video games competitively.
Home Office
There has been a notable rise in both hybrid and fully remote models of work being offered to employees in recent years. The recent pandemic caused a surge in remote working due to restrictions on the gathering of groups of people. Even as the effects of the pandemic seem to be lessening, remote working or at least hybrid models of work look set to remain a viable working option. Creating a dedicated home office in your spare room is a perfect idea for remote workers or people who want to dedicate a space to allow them to start a small business from home. As a rule, keep the décor minimal in this space to allow focused periods of work without distraction. Add in a comfortable office chair, desk, and compact printer for your laptop and you have the key ingredients for the perfect home office.
Workout Area
Whilst there has been a recent trend in the creation of home gyms in the garage area of a home, this may not be suitable for all homeowners. Put simply, many homes have more than one car and the convenience and security of a garage for vehicle use remains. It can be better to convert the spare room into a fitness area. Make sure the floor is fully supported and install some key pieces of fitness equipment such as weights and exercise machines. Consider adding fitness mats to ensure that you can work out in comfort. As a final touch, it can be beneficial to invest in a voice-activated music player linked to a music streaming service. By doing this, you can play upbeat and motivating music as you exercise to encourage you to make the most of your workout sessions.
