Utilizing Multifunctional Rooms & Spaces in the Home

Whether you need to make the most of a small space or have a large room from which you want to get more use, designing rooms to be used for multiple purposes is a great way to maximize space and increase convenience. If your home would benefit by condensing some of your rooms, these ideas from Callen, an experienced, knowledgeable remodeling company, can help you get started.The Guest Room/OfficeRather than using that spare bedroom as an office, consider converting the room’s closet into a compact office workspace. Wide shelves can provide storage space as well as a desk surface, and a compact chair can be pushed in and hidden behind attractive curtains when not in use. Your guests will never even miss the closet space; a small dresser and a few hooks on the back of the door will more than meet their needs.

The Playroom/Guest RoomIt’s always helpful to have an extra out-of-the-way place for kids to play, but it can sometimes be hard to find the space. By allowing your playroom to do double-duty as a guest room, you can keep your kids’ toys out of the main living area, and still have a cozy spot for overnight guests. A daybed with roomy storage drawers underneath will provide seating room during the day and a comfy bed at night, as well as a convenient spot to store toys when someone is staying over.The Family Room/Entertainment AreaA finished basement is the perfect spot to create a multifunctional space that works for family downtime as well as entertaining. Create a home theater by building a custom entertainment center around your TV screen, with abundant shelving for storage and display purposes. Arrange furniture around an attractive area rug, and make sure there is ample seating to accommodate guests. Then, depending on your space, you can incorporate other areas that will best fit your needs, such as a bar, an exercise area, or a game room.If you want to better utilize your basement space, call Callen for basement finishing.We can also help with any other remodeling and design needs, so don’t hesitate to contact us today.
