If you’re about to (or already have) moved into a new home with a room to spare, you’re probably wondering what you can do with the space…🤔

Rather than letting the extra room languish and accumulate junk, here are five spare room ideas that let you make the most of this valuable space.

👉 Turn it into a Home Gym

A home gym is a great alternative spare room idea – instead of paying money weekly for a gym, direct the money towards buying or paying off professional exercise equipment instead, and use your spare room to work out in.

👉 Create a Rumpus Room for the Kids

Give your kids a fun place to watch movies, play video games and hang out with their friends. By letting them be a part of the design and setup of their new rumpus room, it also gives them a sense of independence and some personal responsibility to keep the room tidy.

👉 Make It a Home Office

Now more than ever! It’s a great small spare room idea, since you don’t need a lot of space: just room for a desk, your computer, and any drawers or cabinets to keep files in. It can be a good place to sort your taxes, file important documents, plan out your family budget, and much more.

👉 Use It as an Art or Hobby Studio

If you’re after productive spare room ideas, using your spare room as a place to partake in arts and crafts can be very uplifting. It’s a great way to keep creative clutter – whatever it may be – contained to one room and can also help get the creative juices flowing.
