If your kids have recently moved away from home, you probably have more space around your house than you know what to do with. To make optimal use of the space, you might consider taking on some home remodeling projects. There are tons of different possibilities for you to improve your space by converting old bedrooms or adding new spaces onto your home.

What Home Remodeling Projects Should Empty-Nesters Consider?

1. Expanded Master Suite

Your master suite is your personal oasis. Now that you have more space available, you could reconfigure an extra bedroom or side room into a large bathroom and walk-in closet that serves your needs. You can also use the extra space to create a sitting area or large media setup.

2. Home Gym

If you have multiple kids’ rooms or a basement play area that is now sitting empty, you can easily convert them into something you’ll actually use. Consider having a home gym installed so you can get those workouts in from the comfort of home. You can add mirrors along the walls and purchase your favorite fitness gear so that you never have to leave the house to get in some exercise.

3. Guest Room

You might even keep it simple and turn one or two of those kids rooms or play areas into a new guest room. You’ll likely only need to make some cosmetic changes to turn it into the perfect spot for when friends or family members come to visit.

4. Home Office

If you do any work from home or just want a dedicated space to get your finances organized, convert one of those rooms into a home office. This should be another fairly straightforward improvement that gives you way more functionality.

5. Media Room

For those nights when you want to relax and enjoy a nice movie with your partner or a few friends, have a home theater or dedicated media room installed. You can add a large screen or projector and a high-quality sound system. Also, incorporate comfortable seating and blackout curtains to set the mood and create an authentic movie theater feel.
