If you have a new room in the house, perhaps because your son or daughter has moved out, you have a decision to make. You could keep the room as it is and turn it into a guest bedroom. However, if you do not have guests staying on a regular basis, you might want to select a theme that you will use more often instead. There are many themes you can use for a new spare room. - A study is a room for quiet reading and reflection. Better Homes and Gardens suggests placing your book collection in the room, along with a large, comfortable chair, table and footrest. If you smoke, a study is also an excellent place to enjoy the tobacco product of your choice without the smell permeating the rest of the house.
- A game room is a place to store and enjoy your favorite games, whether they are video games, card and board games or table games such as pool and Ping-Pong. The decor for a game room should reflect the room's atmosphere. You might consider including a refrigerator and soda fountain as well, so that refreshments are always at the ready.
- Project-Meditation suggests creating a meditation room, which will allow you to practice activities such as meditation and yoga while minimizing distractions. Place a soft mat in the center of the room for sitting, and decorate the room with simple. natural elements such as plants and bamboo. An indoor fountain can generate soft, rippling sounds to reduce distraction from outside. An incense burner is also an appropriate addition for a meditation room.
- According to GetDecorating, an exercise room should be filled with your favorite gym equipment, such as a treadmill, weight bench or stationary bike. This room should have a stereo or television to entertain you while you work out, and it should be air-conditioned and well-ventilated to prevent musty smells. Include a scale and tall mirror so you can track your progress and stay motivated.
- A creative room is a place where you can go to work on the art of your choice. If you are a musician, Acoustical Solutions suggests building a sound booth for recording. Include a computer and microphones to complete your home studio. If you enjoy painting, set up an easel and make sure the room always has plenty of blank canvases. Tile the floor for easy cleaning. Fill the room with things that inspire you, such as classic artwork.
