The spare room is an exciting source of untapped potential for many homeowners who are afforded the luxury of having one. When you build with Complete by McDonald Jones, you can choose a brand-new turnkey house and land package that features a spare room, giving you the luxury of flexible living.
Let’s unpack the many ways you can best utilise your spare room and enjoy the luxury of flexible living.
Craft or hobby room
If you and your family are the artsy type, a craft room is a great option for a spare room. All of your creative tools will be in one centralised location, and best of all, not making a mess around the house! A room, generally, dedicated to your hobbies is a great way to house your interest(s) without dominating the home. If you have kids, it’s also a great way to teach them to maintain a space, and clean up after themselves. Be it darts, model trains, board games, puzzle tables for a few thousand-piecers on the go, or an easel for painting and drawing, the hobby room is a fantastic universally-appealing option for the whole family and keeps mess away from the rest of the home.
Work from home office
These days, working from home is a genuine option for lots of companies. If you have to spend a considerable portion of your working week at home, you might as well make it a really comfortable space. Work well, and keep your working mind contained in one room.
The fitness space
It doesn’t matter if you want to pump iron, stretch out, running on the treadmill, or get the ergometer firing on the rowing machine. A space dedicated to your physical health is a popular option in the home as we become more health conscious as a society. Your home fitness space doesn’t need to be as equipped as a public gym and can be a customised set-up to suit you and your family’s needs. In fact, the home fitness space is almost certainly a more time and cost-effective alternative to the standard public option.
The Cave
A dedicated man, woman, or kids’ cave is a terrific breakout space to have in the home. Theme it however you like, be it with sports memorabilia, a mini bar, or a vinyl collection and player. How you make it inviting and enjoyable is up to you!
The rumpus room
The rumpus room is a timeless space for children’s activities and fun. As far as spare rooms go, it can be just as beneficial for the adults of the house as it is for the kids. To have toys, books, or even musical instruments in one space rather than all over the house is a blessing in disguise.
The reading and writing nook
The reading and writing nook could be a go option if you’re after something a bit more lowkey. It could be decked out with bookshelves, a comfy couch and a big desk, or you could employ a minimalist approach to make the space feel calm and quiet for getting your mind to wind down while you write a journal, or read a novel.
More than just spare parts
Whatever you decide to transform your flexible living space into, you’ll not be short on options when you buy a ready-built house and land package with Complete by McDonald Jones.
