Sure, you could possibly leave that cluttered room to be a shrine for your college freshman, but wouldn’t you love to use that space? Break this news to your kid gently, don’t throw anything out without talking to them and keep some closet space open for when they come back to visit. Then consider one of these redecorating suggestions for your empty nest.
Redecorating Ideas for Your Empty Nest
1. Guest room
A brand new coat of paint, new linens and the relocation of the trophy collection to the basement might possibly be all you have to repurpose a child’s room into a guest-friendly bedroom.
2. Man cave
Haul in the giant screen and a mini fridge, swap the bed for a comfy couch and lounge chairs and you are obviously ready for the big game. A pool or ping pong table may well be a great addition to larger spaces.
3. Hobby room
Finally, a practice room for your bluegrass band! Or perhaps a scrapbooking oasis where you can leave supplies out all the time. Bring in bright lights and a work table and you’ve got hobby heaven.
4. Gym
You’ll be amazed how much space is in that bedroom once you get rid of the bed, dresser and desk. Install some full-length mirrors so you’re able to check your form, buy rubber floor mats, set up the speakers and maybe a TV if you would like encouragement from Jillian Michaels. Then prepare yourself to sweat.
5. Office
Replace your children’s furniture with an expansive desk, good lighting and some file cabinets and you’re on your way to productivity
