This post is all about flex space ideas.
Do you have a spare room or unused space in your home that you don’t know what to do with?
If you have a room that isn’t getting any use whatsoever, why not use your imagination and think outside the box to transform it into a space that you actually love?
When I first moved into my previous four bedroom home, there was a sitting room area off to the side of the entry way that I knew right off the bat would get no use.
So I decided instead of using one of the upstairs bedrooms as my office space, I wanted to transform this space into my office.
Let’s be honest, “sitting rooms” don’t get much use nowadays and it’s basically a useless second living room which no one really wants or needs.
Some examples of other spaces that you might not get much use out of that you could think of transforming into a functional flex space is:
- A formal dining room area
- A large closet
- An extra bedroom
- Any random nook or cranny of your house that you are unsure what to do with
If you have any of these, read on for inspiration on for the best unique and functional flex space ideas for you!
