Maximize Underused Space in Your Home

Peruse some seriously inspiring spaces.

There’s no such thing as a spare room. If you are fortunate enough to have a room in your home that isn’t earmarked for the essentials of life, it’s truly a bonus room.

To determine how to make the most of your bonus room, analyze your lifestyle. Love to entertain? How about repurposing your basement as a billiards room with a cozy lounge? Or welcome guests in a sparkling conservatory? Looking forward to visits from the grandchildren? A bunk room that doubles as a play space might be just what you need. A seldom-used bedroom might be better suited as a sewing room or home library. Think of a loft or large landing as a space just waiting to be transformed into a teen hangout or craft area. A tiny space off a kitchen gains purpose and function as a walk-in pantry. An extra garage bay can be readily converted into a workshop or home office.

We hope the creative ideas within these spaces will be a springboard for you to make your own home more livable.
