When you find the perfect home, you may have an extra treat: a bonus room. There, you can create a special, personalized space to spend your days in. Looking for inspiration? You have plenty of possibilities. Here are just some of the ways to use your bonus room!
- Home gym. Summer is hot, but you can work out without dealing with the heat. A treadmill, exercise bike, yoga area and more—you can have it all in a home gym. Not only can you ditch your gym membership, but you can also work out from the comfort of your house.
- Game room. Let the games begin! Nothing says fun like an in-home game room. You can play pool, air hockey, or even video games.
- Home theater. Trekking the theater can be chaotic—and expensive. Fortunately, there’s a better solution. See your favorite shows and movies, all from your cozy house. You can even pop some popcorn as you settle in and relax.
- Home office. Do you work from home? Are you a freelancer? Or do you need a space to get tasks done? It’s time to stop worrying about getting your work done in peace! A home office makes it all easy.
- Playroom. Kids can be messy! Instead of tripping over toys all through the house, give your children their very own space to play in. They’ll love having the room to build blocks, make up stories with their dolls, and race cars.
- Craft room. Life can be stressful, so give yourself a space to unwind. Sometimes, you need a bit of solitude when you paint, sew, or scrapbook. With a craft room, you have the perfect spot to indulge in your hobbies.
- Personal library. Reading transports us to new and interesting places each time we pick up a book. Your home can be a literary haven. With bookshelves, a few good armchairs, and side table for your morning coffee, you can turn your bonus room into a personal library.
- Man—or woman—cave. We all need our space! You can make a bonus room into your perfect escape. After all, there’s nothing better than having a little peace and quiet.
