Having extra space in your home can be quite beneficial – if you know what to do with it. This is why we at Craftmark Homes are thrilled to help you choose the best way to use that extra space and turn it into not only something you’ll use often but also something you’ll love.
To make this possible, consider your personal and family goals, interests and hobbies, and your most desired theme that will prove to always be useful and enjoyed.
Here are some ideas to help you get started:
Home Office
If you work from home, or if you find yourself working after business hours at home, this is a great option for you. This is even more ideal if the room is out of the way and far from distractions. Make this room your own home office that has:
- A desk
- Computer
- Comfortable chair
- Sophisticated arm chair
- Bookshelf
- Printer
- Inspiring wall art or phrases
- Organization tools, like shelves, drawers, a white-board calendar, pencil holders and drawer organizers
Craft Space or Art Studio
If you’re crafty and creative, use this space for your crafts or art studio. And remember: organization is key for success. Fill the room with shelves or drawers that have all of your favorite supplies, like paint brushes, scissors, easels, etc. Keep the space bright and colorful to make the room airy and energizing. This is a great option if you find yourself sweeping your crafts from the kitchen table when guests arrive.
Home Theater
A home theater is optimal if you’re a movie buff or if you simply enjoy spending your time relaxing and watching new or classic films. Fill the room with comfortable sofas or reclining chairs, a large television or projector screen, a sound system, rugs, comfortable blankets, and the right relaxing lighting. You can even decorate the walls with posters of your favorite movies.
Guest Room
If you host guests often, a guest room is ideal for those visiting. You don’t want to make your guests sleep on a couch or air mattress, do you? So, turn this extra room into the perfect bedroom for them. To keep your guest right at home, provide the following items in the room:
- A comfortable bed
- Dresser
- Television
- Lamps
- Side chair
- Welcoming wall decor and warm wall colors
Game Room
Whether you like to play video games or your family enjoys the traditional board game, a game room is an excellent theme for your extra space. If you want a board game room, furnish a large table, comfortable seating, and shelves filled with your favorite games. If you’re aiming for a video game room, equip the area with a television and gaming system or a table, computers, and adequate audio devices; be sure to provide comfortable seating to ensure comfort.
