A bonus room can be a great addition to any home. This extra space can add a personal touch to any living area. There are plenty of options when it comes to designing a bonus room. Before beginning your remodel, think about which type of space is best for you so that you can make the right choices to suit the final room. Here are some ideas from Neal's past projects.
Craft Room
This bonus room is a wonderful place for any craft lover. A craft space needs plenty of storage to able to host all craft materials in one universal place. Organization is key so ample drawers and cabinets are a must-have. A versatile work table gives you enough space to design and execute any project imaginable.
Home Gym
A home gym provides you the flexibility to work out on your own schedule. For this room, you must first evaluate which equipment best matches your workout routine. Lighting can be used to create a sense of awareness during your workout. You should consider adding a mirror to ensure your exercises are being done using the correct form. A non-slip, low impact floor is also ideal for a safe home gym.
Home Office
An office space is great for a dedicated environment for any work tasks, whether you work from home or just need a place to pay the bills. Keep in mind that this place is all about your work tasks. Evaluate how formal or casual you want the design elements to be. Ideally a home office should be designed to promote productivity but also tie into the style of your home.
Pub Room
A pub room can be an excellent way to entertain guests in your home. This room needs tables and chairs, and it can be a central gathering place in the home. Look for ways to arrange the space with conversation in mind. Lighting should be taken into account when making a pub room. Darker lighting can be used to create the desired ambiance for space, but more light may be needed for certain tasks. Also, be sure to fully consider what type of beverage and dishware storage matches what you typically serve your guests.
