Do you have a bonus room in your home? Have you been wondering what to do with this space? Our team from At Home Blinds & Decor is coming to you with loads of inspiration. Whether it’s a large space, or a small nook, we are showing you all the potential that it’s got. Plus, we’re recommending which window coverings are going to work best.
A Playroom
If you have small children at home, or grandchildren that visit, they would love an area to play, be creative and get comfortable. These bonus spaces have become quite popular as families encourage children to experience adventure and independent play in a safe zone.
Creating a playroom in your bonus space can be almost just as fun for adults as it can be for kids with all the delightful decor you can find on the market. We suggest cordless shades for the windows in this room. This makes the window coverings easy to adjust, and ensure safety is the top priority.
The Guest Room
If you’ve got long-distance friends or family that you haven’t seen for awhile, using your bonus space to create a guest room is a great idea. We are in Florida, after all, and who wouldn’t want to come for a visit? When you have guests staying with you, it allows you to spend more quality time together than if they’re in a local hotel room.
We like to recommend window coverings for room darkening and privacy, so your guests can relax in comfort after their travels.
What About the Kids?
If you have local grandchildren, creating a guest room in your bonus space will give you the opportunity to spend extra time with the little ones. Decorating a kid’s guest room can be full of fun tasks, and the results will be spending more time with them. It’s a win-win.
The Media Room
A popular feature for the bonus space in a home is a media room, used for movie time and gaming. These areas often have comfortable seating along with a large TV. You don’t have to install movie theater seating for it to feel like you’re at the theater. When you see what our blackout blinds can do in a space like this, you’ll find yourself watching your favorite flick in the middle of the afternoon on a hot summer day.
An Intentional Workout
If you’re attempting to make healthy living a priority, your bonus space might be the perfect spot to bring in your favorite kind of workout equipment. Depending on what type of workout you’d like to do, it can be as simple as a mat, some bands and weights, or a whole room, decorated with mirrors, accessories and full-fledged gym equipment. We do like to remind homeowners: Oftentimes, the best workout is done in a well-lit environment. Choosing window coverings that bring in natural light without heat or glare will be essential.
A Home Office
If you’re considering making the bonus space in your home into your own personal office, you’re not alone. Many homeowners have carved out areas for their work-from-home set up. The window coverings here will be an asset in the space, as they allow you to control the light and glare, as well as shutting out distractions that might keep you from concentrating.
Indoor-Outdoor Living
Many Florida homes have sliding doors that walk out to a patio area. Make this bonus space your outdoor living room when the Florida weather agrees with you. Bring the comforts of home, like comfortable seating, a fire table feature, and a spot to put your feet up and relax. Make life easy by outfitting your sliding doors with coverings that boast the latest features. They’ll protect the interior of your home and make it easy to access your patio area.
The Game Room
Today’s game room is often designed for both children and adults alike. Your bonus space will encourage your family to make memories together. A table and chairs will be the perfect spot for cards or board games–or for simply sharing some snacks. Popular features within the game room include a dart board, pool table, air hockey, or ping-pong.
Choosing Bonus Space Window Coverings
Our team would love to help you decide which way to style the window coverings in your bonus space, keeping an eye on the best features and fabrics for the function you need. Whether you’re styling windows in your loft, a guest bedroom, or an out-of-the-way nook, we can help! Get in touch with us for your free consultation.
