Five Ideas for Getting the Most from Your Bonus Space

Every room in your home has its own personality. What about that bonus space that needs a bit of transformation? Maybe it’s an extra bedroom being used for storage, or changing up a playroom into a media space. Here at  Bazaar Home Decorating, we have ideas for that bonus space, including how to incorporate the right window treatments. Let’s look at some inspiration to reimagine a bonus space in your home and create a gorgeous area for your friends and family to enjoy. 

Cozy Guest Room

A well-designed, cozy guest room awaits behind that unused room. Creating a guest room out of a bonus space in the home can feel overwhelming, but never fear. The right decor and window treatments can make a space inviting for family, friends, and those kiddos in your life who want a sleepover with friends. Window coverings like banded shades can make a space feel quiet and peaceful for a good night’s rest, but also be a fun space for kids to chill out in. With beautiful shades for light control and privacy, everyone will feel more rested after a night in the cozy new guest room.

Media Room

A home is incomplete without a space to sit down, relax, and watch a movie with family. With that in mind, a home media room or theatre space can take some planning to make it fun but functional. A media room with comfortable furniture helps, but what about those windows? Blackout shades are great for keeping light outside and ambiance inside. They control both privacy and light while giving everyone a multimedia experience in a cozy atmosphere. Keep the movie reels reeling and the popcorn popping!

It’s Playtime!

An entertaining space for kids–both young and in their teen years–may be just what your house needs. Turn that bonus space into a quiet corner for rest, or turn it up a bit for older teens who want fewer toys and books and more bean bags and game time. The best window treatments, like cordless window shades, let you control the light and privacy while making it look chic and beautiful. Bring beauty and comfort to your room for that space that says ‘play with me’ and means business!

Home Office

A great way to utilize a bonus space right now is for a home office. If you or someone in the family works from home, they need a space just for them. Create a chic, quiet corner to rest and read a bit. For all those bills and files, renovate a bonus space into a home office where everything can be organized and provide a quiet space to get work done. With beautiful window coverings, a home office can look sophisticated and functional. Need to reduce glare? We got you covered (literally). Window treatments for a home office provide good light control and privacy so you can get in that nap (er, we mean work) done in peace.

A Workout Space

A bonus space can be created to function as multiple things, including a physical fitness nook or workout area. Ready to boost your cardio game or spend quiet time meditating or doing yoga? We’ve got you covered. A workout room is a great way to utilize a bonus space or small area.  Boost your mood and body with a beautifully designed bonus space that incorporates window treatments to match. Beautiful shades or sheers can control light during the day and offer privacy. Optimize the area with shades, sheers, or whatever works to get you in the mood to get physical and fit in your new bonus space workout room.
