our spare bedroom doesn’t
need to be a guest room that
sits and collects cobwebs! Give
it purpose again with any of these
brilliant options and make every part
of your home feel lived in.
1. Keep your brain active with a home office
space! Whether you use this room to work or
to enjoy your hobbies, having a separate room
for these activities gives you peace of mind that
everything is in one place, and provides a quiet
space to help you concentrate and focus. You
can even use this space to have video calls with
family and friends without any interruptions; a
must in today’s digital world.
2. Feel like a celebrity with your own dressing
room! Add storage to this room and fill to
the brim with your favourite clothes and
accessories, so that before every outing you
can spend time getting ready and practising
some self care. This also frees up your main
bedroom for more storage space, and helps you
keep your home clutter free.
3. Snuggle up and get reading in your cosy library!
If you’re an avid reader, why not furnish your
spare room with bookshelves filled with your
favourite books, and invest in a comfy chair
to read in. Reading has been shown to reduce
your stress levels, as well as improving your
vocabulary and comprehension. It can also be a
nice break from screen time before bed, which
can aid your sleep.
4. Invite guests to the premiere of your new home
cinema! Grab a projector or large screen to set
up a home cinema. Comfy sofas are a must!
If you’re not sure how to inject some fun and
excitement when guests visit, or perhaps you
just like to watch cinema the best kind of way,
this space can be a great place to relax, unwind,
and overindulge in sweet and salty popcorn.
