Do you have an extra room or a cozy nook in your home that’s not living up to its full potential? At Creative Blinds, we love helping homeowners transform areas into functional and stylish spaces. And, of course, with the perfect window coverings to match. Whether your bonus space is large or small, here are eight inspiring ways to put it to great use!
Entertain a Media Room
A classic choice for a bonus space, a media room is perfect for movie nights, gaming sessions, or a marathon of your favorite shows. Create a cinematic experience with comfortable seating and a large screen. But, don’t forget about the window treatments. We recommend blackout shades so you can enjoy a theater-quality experience any time of day.
Design a Playroom
Parents know the value of dedicated play space. A playroom gives kids the freedom to explore, create, and play in their own zone. A place made for blanket forts, toy bins, and colorful decor. Safety is key, so we always recommend cordless window treatments for any child-focused room.
Curate a Cozy Guest Room
If you don’t need the extra space of that bonus room for everyday activity, start inviting people over! Transform it into a welcoming guest room retreat for family or friends. This room adds comfort and hospitality to your home. Room-darkening or privacy-focused shades make the space even more relaxing for overnight visitors that they may not want to leave.
Grandchildren Sleepover Space
Have grandchildren nearby? Make their visits extra special with a kid friendly bedroom just for them! Incorporate elements like bunk beds or a reading nook. Bonus: It gives their parents a break, too! Choose durable, easy-to-operate window coverings that keep the space cozy and safe.
Set Up a Home Office
A home office is a smart way to use your bonus space. Whether you work remotely, or just need an organized space for paperwork, make it work for you. Even a small corner can work wonders. The right window treatments reduce glare and boost natural light, creating a productive and stylish workspace.
Indoors & Out…At Once
Got large windows that lead to your backyard? Embrace indoor/outdoor living! Design an outdoor area that feels like an extension of your home. Consider energy-efficient shades for large windows and glass doors to protect interiors from sun damage.
Then, for the coverage you need in that patio space, consider adding exterior shades to keep it comfortable as the Texas sun shines down! Patio shades are a great way to escape the sun while keeping insects at bay.
Workout Zone
A home gym is a great way to support your wellness goals. But to keep the space feeling energized and private, we suggest dual-function window treatments. They offer soft natural light with the option for privacy when needed.
Build a Family Game Room
As your family grows, so can the function of your bonus space. A game room is a fun and flexible option. Ideal for board games, cards, or even ping pong. Create a hangout spot everyone will love and make memories for years to come.
