Many people have a room in their house that gets primarily used as storage. However, once items go in, they might never get pulled back out. By sorting these belongings—and rehoming them, donating them, or depositing them in your dumpster rental—you can repurpose the space and boost your enjoyment of your home. Here are just some of the ways to make better use of this room.  

How to Use the Empty Room in Your Home

1. Home Gym

Experts recommended 30 minutes of movement per day to stay healthy. After you clear out this room, consider investing in a treadmill or cycling machine—or, less expensively, a yoga mat and weights. By also installing a television, you can follow along with workout videos—or distract yourself from the exercise by catching up on some of your favorite shows. 

2. Guest Room

Do you have long-distance family that likes to visit for the holidays? Or friends who end up staying late to your game nights or parties? It is nice to be able to offer them a comfortable guest room to sleep in. This room does not have to be as large or as well-furnished as the master bedroom but should contain a decent-sized bed and nightstand, as well as convenient outlets.

3. Office

While a home office is a must for those working from home, it’s also beneficial for others. Outfit it with a desk, shelving, and plenty of lighting to make it the perfect space to store your important paperwork, pay your bills, and spread out when working on creative projects. 

4. Library

Instead of having your books scattered in locations across the home, line the walls of your spare room with shelves filled with your favorite stories. Add seating to create the perfect environment for exploring new worlds. Place a side table next to your armchair or loveseat with a lamp and room to place for your drink as you relax.
