“What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?” – Aeschylus

Your spare bedroom can be anything you want it to be. Just because the realtor called it a bedroom doesn’t mean that’s what you have to use it as. Perhaps you do not need an extra bedroom, or you have a greater need for a room with another purpose. It’s your home; you can do what you want with it.

These spare bedroom ideas will give you several alternatives to help you decide the best use for that spare room you’re wrangling with. So, do you have lots of overnight guests and need a spare room? Or, would that space be better used as a craft, music, or multipurpose room?

1. Game or Music Room Spare Bedroom Ideas

Turn your spare room into the ultimate hobby room. It could be the mini escape where you surround yourself with your gaming or music passions. The space a media room provides will allow you to expand your gaming system to a multiple monitor setup. Or, you could display your entire collection of guitars. Maybe you love dungeons and dragons and would enjoy having a game room that really sets the mood for your weekly game night.

When creating your space, think about how you plan to use the room. A computer gaming room needs space for a great desk and a comfortable chair. Music rooms need space for the sound equipment and instruments. A game room needs plenty of comfortable seating for your guests.

Finish the room by adding themed decor. You could have artwork that features your favorite artists or characters. Create softer mood lighting that creates a darker or more subdued atmosphere. Lighting like this creates a more comfortable space that you’ll want to be in longer.

2. Spare Bedroom Ideas for Guests

The most obvious use for your spare room is to turn it into an extra bedroom for overnight guests. You don’t have to go all out with a complete bedroom set. A guest bed, nightstands, and small dresser will work fine. If you don’t want a dresser, you could place a small desk or a large accent chair.
