Have an extra room in your home you’re not using? Maybe an attic or basement?  Here are six ways to transform the extra space into a real estate dream!

Get to Work

Probably the first thing that comes to mind is to create a home office out of that spare bedroom or extra space, but it’s perfect for just that. Give yourself a little privacy when you’re working extra hours, writing that novel you’ve always dreamed you’d write, or catching up on your Solitaire game.

Get Pumped Up

Are you looking to “pump you up?”  If your resolution this year is to get in shape, create the right place to do it by transforming your spare room into a home gym. Just add exercise equipment, weights, and a flat panel TV.

Find a Home for Your Books

If you’re an avid reader, why not repurpose your extra bedroom into a library? Add bookshelves, all your books, and a comfy chair with excellent lighting for the perfect book nook.

It’s Movie Time!

Rather than have your living room do dual-purpose, move the TV into its own room and turn that extra space into a home theater.  Comfy chairs and a big screen are a must. Don’t forget to bring popcorn.

Make Crafts

Are you someone who loves to sew or craft? That extra space is just perfect for your hobbies.  No longer do you have to worry about moving your projects from the kitchen table, because they’re no longer there! Convert that extra room to a sewing or crafting room.

Create Your Own Narnia

If your house is short on closet and wardrobe space, why not dedicate an entire room as a wardrobe?  Add the right shelving units, mirrors, and storage areas, and you have a room that is more than a fantasy.
