Always wanted a walk-in closet but got no space in your room or house for that? Although there are ways to squeeze a walk-in closet in your bedroom, why not use your spare room to achieve your dream closet?

Build customised shelves to fit all your clothes as well as your partner's and you could also save even more space in your bedroom by moving your vanity table into your walk-in closet.

#2 Movie room

Many of us yearn for an entertainment room in our own home with facilities such as a pool table, arcade games and more, but realistically speaking, the space we have is limited.

So, transform the spare room into a cosy home cinema instead so that you can enjoy movies in the comfort of your own home! It could also double up as a karaoke room for you to sing your heart out too.

#3 Office

If you need a proper space to do your work with no external distractions, use the spare room as an office. It's also a great space for your children to study in if you have kids. You could also keep your knick knacks hidden away in this room's cupboards and keep the rest of your house looking neat.

This is an obvious option but it's honestly one of the most useful ways to make use of the extra space! Keep the decor in the room simple and when you have guests or friends over, they can easily stay the night since there is a space for them to sleep in.

Even though it's not advisable, you could also let your partner sleep in this room when he or she pisses you off. ?

Bookworms will definitely love this idea as there will be a place for all your books and also a relaxing area for you to sit back and binge read. You could also include a bay window seat for an even cosier vibe in your reading room.

#6 Workout room

The good thing about having a gym at home is that it motivates you to exercise because it's right there in your home, so there really isn't any excuse for you to not workout!

Which of these ideas is your favourite? Time to consider making good use of the space in your spare room!
