City Tile: Empty Nest is Potential Space

Posted by samantha on Aug 12, 2014 in What I've Done

Your son or daughter has gone off to college or moved out, and you are feeling like the house is incomplete with the empty room.

For a little investment you can change that empty room into a home office, recreation or crafting room or even a guest bedroom.

Update the space with an accent wall painted in a fun, bold color such as emerald green, navy blue, or mustard yellow. You can also find fabrics for window hangings, plush pillows and rugs that add color or texture.

You can find inexpensive shelving to store all your files, knick knacks and other pieces, and depending on your renovation’s purpose, a bench by the window or arm chair in a corner can create a quiet space to reflect, remember or be productive.

A small bedroom can be transformed into a large dressing room with shelves, suspended rods, vanity table, full-length mirrors, and jewelry armoire. Or a study or library only requires shelves, comfy seating and great lighting to become a sanctuary.

Guest rooms or a futon in a home office can be great options if you want to retain sleeping arrangements for when your child comes home to visit.
