To offer you some inspiration, we’ve curated a list of our favourite flex room ideas.
Home Office
Working from home is a great perk to have, but can be a challenge if you don’t have a comfortable and quiet space to work out of. With Bloom Towns’ studio spaces, you can create a personalized workspace away from the hustle and bustle of the main household. Consider building a bookcase to help keep you organized, and don’t forget to add plenty of ambient, accent and task lighting to keep you energized and reduce eyestrain.
Movie or games room
Keep the clutter of video game consoles and the noise of home movies away from your living room by creating a separate movie or games room. Here’s your chance to get creative with wall decor, multi-game tables and furniture, including comfy couches, floor cushions and bean bag chairs.
Playroom
Geared towards younger children, your Bloom Towns studio suite makes the perfect playroom for storing toys and equipment. Make sure to add small tables and easels for arts and crafts, plus cozy reading nooks for quiet time.
In-law suites
With multi-generational households on the rise, so too are in-law suites. With an in-law suite, senior members of your family can live independently, but still be close enough to get the support they need and spend time with their grandchildren.
Potential income property
If you’ve ever wanted to invest in real estate, but weren’t sure if you’d be approved for a second mortgage, here’s your opportunity. With an in-law suite built into your home, you can choose to transform it into an extended family members income suite. And since the studios at Bloom Towns have separate entrances, your tenant will enjoy complete privacy while helping you pay off your mortgage.
Craft/hobby room
Whether your hobbies involve painting, photography or handmade treasures, a craft room can be the perfect retreat to get your creative juices flowing. Make sure to include a large table or surface area to work on, along with cabinets, drawers and wall storage to keep your supplies organized.
Home gym
Forget about membership fees and save yourself the drive to the gym by creating your own exercise room and workout space. The Bloom Towns studios are large enough to fit all sorts of fitness equipment, and the nine-foot ceilings and large windows ensure you won’t feel like you’re working out in a dungeon.
