Spare Room Ideas for Your Custom Home

Whether you’re building a custom home from scratch or remodeling your current home to better fit your needs, there are hundreds of ways to improve your living space. If you happen to have a spare room or some extra cash in your budget, you may want to create a room dedicated to a specific activity. Below are ten room ideas to consider adding to your home.

Library

A library is a great place to store your books and display your favorite works of art. It’s also a great place to host events, whether it’s a book club meeting or a charity gala. The best thing about having a library in your home? You can completely personalize it to suit your needs. Libraries also serve as a great spot to read or study.

Spa Room

If you love getting your nails done or going for weekly facials, you may want to consider dedicating an area of your home as a designated spa space. Even if you don’t get beauty treatments on an ongoing basis, it’s nice to know that you have the option of going whenever you’d like. A spa room can also be used as a place to meditate and relax after a long day’s work.

Home Office

The ideal home office allows you to relax, get work done and enjoy your surroundings. You can even set up a space that allows you to entertain guests. When designing your home office, consider whether you want a dedicated area without distractions or an area that provides natural light and fresh air.

Game Room

If you love playing classic board games like Monopoly or checkers, plan on adding a game room to your home. Although some people don’t think of games as entertainment, it’s important to keep some areas reserved for fun activities so that you never find yourself bored. Look into having custom games set up in the room of your choice.

Guest Bedroom

A guest bedroom can be a great way to show your friends and family that you appreciate their time. Setting up a bed and room for additional guests is a thoughtful way to show that you care about the people around you.

Movie Theater

If you’re an avid movie buff, try out adding an area in your home where you can watch movies with friends and family. The theater should have good sound and enough seats for everyone. Make sure that the room has the right temperature so that it doesn’t feel stuffy or uncomfortable when someone decides to sneak in some extra popcorn during the movie.

Music Room

If you like to sing, play drums or piano, or even make beats on your computer, adding a music room to your home can be a wonderful addition. The best thing about having a designated area in your house is that it allows you the freedom to express yourself without worrying about bothering others.

Fitness Room

Having a place in your home dedicated to working out can be just as important as eating healthy and exercising regularly. If you’re going through an active phase of life, it makes sense to have an area where you can work out without having to worry about inconveniencing others. You can also use this area as a place for meditation if you happen to practice yoga or some other religious activity.

Storage Room

A storage room is a great place to keep items you don’t use on a regular basis. Instead of leaving these items in boxes or bags, it makes sense to set up a designated area for them. In addition to keeping your home organized, the storage room can also be used as an area for events or parties.

Craft Room

If you enjoy making crafts with your friends or family members, consider adding a craft room to your house so that you and others can have ample space to create beautiful pieces of art. The best thing about having a craft room is that it allows people to get creative without feeling like they don’t have enough space.

If you’re a do-it-yourself type of person, it may not be worth paying someone to complete each and every project in your home. However, it never hurts to get professional advice from designers who have the experience and training necessary to ensure that your room ideas turn out as planned.
