Imagine your dream home. What does it include? A home office, guest bedroom, or maybe even a home gym? This is where having a flex room comes in handy for growing families and first-time homebuyers ready to find the home of their dreams—the possibilities are endless.
Homes with flexible floor plans create a lot of opportunity for customizing the space, but sometimes it can be hard to know exactly what to transform the flex room into. Luckily, the real estate experts at Harvest know a thing or two about crafting a perfect home fit for the needs of your lifestyle.
Check out these unique bonus room ideas to get inspiration for the flex room in your house!
A flex room in a house, sometimes also called a “bonus room” or “multipurpose room”, is exactly what it sounds like. No guessing games here. A flex room is a space that can be used for pretty much anything you want.
The beauty of a flex room in a house is its ability to be whatever you need it to be and evolve with your needs. Turn a flex room into a guest room for family visits or transform it into a nursery as you grow your family.
A flex room gives you the opportunity to create the space you’ve always dreamed of without purchasing a larger home than you’re ready to buy.
If there’s one thing 2020 has proven, it’s that not enough homeowners have home office spaces. With work-from-home trends on the rise, turning a flex room in a house into an office can make all the difference.
Try incorporating these features into your home office to make the most of out your flex room space:
For small flex room ideas to center the mind, an intimate yoga/meditation room can do the trick. Think of this space as a place to regroup and calm yourself during times of stress. It should be warm and inviting and best of all, quiet.
Choose a soothing wall color and some window treatments to make the space perfect for relaxation. You can also add candles and indoor plants to create a Zen atmosphere, and a Bluetooth speaker for meditation music. Now all you need is your yoga mat and you’re ready to relax.
Isn’t it about time the kids made a mess in their own space, away from your furniture, walls, and floors? Remember, a flex room in a house can be for anything. Messes are allowed here! Let creative juices flow with paint, crafts, instruments and more, without having to worry about interfering with the rest of the household.
Your kids can even begin to explore indoor gardening! Since our Harvest by Hillwood community values farm-to-table dining options and even has its own farm, the kids can use what they learn in the community farm and learn to propagate seeds or learn how to grow a successful Texas garden.
Here are some other idea for a kids’ craft room:
If you love to host parties and gatherings for family and friends, why not designate a space just for entertaining? This is a unique bonus room idea in that it is adults-only! Your clean-up time should be minimal too, with all of your guests enjoying their time in one specific area of your home.
