Make Space

Sorting and clearing: It’s time to open the door and tackle this room. Go through everything in it and sort into the three piles - keep, donate, and throw away. Be ruthless - if you forgot you owned it, you don’t need it. Once you have the items you want to keep - is there anywhere else in the home that they can be moved to? If not, consider a storage unit like these from Cubic Storage. That way you don’t have to get rid of it but it also won’t be cluttering up your much-needed space.

Repurpose the Room

Now for the fun part - transform the room into something you really want. A space that will be beneficial and that you will enjoy being in. One that you might want to shut the door on - but with you on the inside rather than the outside.

There are so many ways to repurpose your room. Whether you want it to be something useful such as a laundry room or would prefer to create something a bit more fun like a games room or bar complete with a disco ball - the choice is yours. But, here are a few ideas, if you're not sure what to do with it.

A Home Gym

Do you love to workout? Then why not create a space dedicated to this in your own home. Dumbbells, resistance bands, kettlebells, balance ball, yoga mat, treadmill - whatever you like to use to keep fit can be purchased for your home gym. You’ll be able to find equipment however big - or small - the space. Plus, it’ll save you a lot in membership fees each year.

A Walk-in Wardrobe

Do you keep wearing the clothes you have just washed to save rummaging through your drawers and wardrobe because it is crammed with clothing? Always dreamed of having a walk-in wardrobe? Well, now you can. Fill the space with rails, drawers, and shelves to organize your clothes and shoes so you can actually see what you have. Then add the finishing touches - perhaps a mirror or even a dressing table.
