Many homes have a spare room, either an empty room used for storage or it’s just a guest room. However, in many houses, that extra room is just sitting empty most of the time. Instead of leaving it like that, start a repurposing project and transform the room into something that will be truly usable and functional. When you finally make up your mind to do something about that room, you will realize that the possibilities are endless. There are so many decorating ideas for a spare room, from a place where you can take up your hobby to a home office. Let’s explore a few of these options in today’s blog.
Home Office
For working individuals, a home office would be one of the perfect decorating ideas to turn your extra room into. If you tend to work from home relatively often, you might want to use your extra room as a home office. You can then focus on your work without distractions, and everything you need is in one place. Decorate the room in colors that you like so you’ll feel comfortable and inspired there.
Walk-in Closet
If you’re a fashionista, you may want to use the spare room as an old-fashioned dressing room. Think vanity, shoe and accessories organizers, and tons of mirrors. You can also add a false ceiling or different lighting to make the room stand out. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be a full closet, you can divide half the room into the closet and the other half as a dressing corner.
Recording Studio
Do you play an instrument or love to play around creating different beats? Maybe you’ve always wanted to start your own podcast. Or your online business requires you to live stream on a regular basis. Then why not transform your spare room into an at home recording studio or a streaming room? This decorating idea would do wonders for your project. You can start small, by putting in your instrument or whatever gear you need for your project. With time, you can put more money into the project and start sound-proofing the walls and getting higher-quality equipment.
Art Studio
An artist deserves a room dedicated to their art. A spare room can be just the place to set up an artist’s studio. Turn it into a peaceful and inspiring place where you can be creative and removed from all of life’s distractions. As far as the decor of the room is concerned, a ton of plants all around the room and some big windows to let in light are some great ideas to lighten up the studio. Add storage for all the equipment, canvases, and paints that you need.
Home Gym
Whether you practice yoga, run, or do strength training, you’ll be more motivated, better disciplined, and more excited about your workouts if you establish a dedicated exercise area in your home. So, turn that extra room in your house into a home gym. Start decorating the room with a treadmill, add some weights and you can also add yoga mats and get fit within the comfort of your own home.
Library or Reading Room
For all the bookworms out there, turning that extra room of your house into a library or a reading room would be the perfect option.The peace and tranquility of a private reading room or library can be a stunning addition to your home if you have the space to accommodate it. Make sure you keep extra and open space in the room so it doesn’t look too cluttered. You want your reading room to be peaceful and quiet.
