I 'had' 5 bedrooms in my house, its a terraced town house so lets not make assumptions.. I also live in South Wales. Anyway..
We've turned our ground floor 'living room' into a room we use usually during the day that now has a dining table in, a three seater sofa and a bit of storage for kids toys which we call the 'dining room' though we don't really sit down and eat in there heh.
One of the 'bedrooms' we've turned into the 'living room' as this has my rig in there, a two seater and a one seater + my desk chair, this room is used when the kids are asleep and is a bit more cosy and has a nice little alcove in with a built in desk for when my friend visits for mid life nerdery, which is great as he's well out the way of her and he doesn't take up anymore space as this space is being used for her rig which is more of a streaming PC anyway, so that just gets pushed a bit further back. My PC sits in the corner in line with the sofa. The only thing she can moan about is that occasionally he'll have to use the bathroom.
With this aside, my friend has just left the Navy and until then one of the rooms we used as a 'guest room' which was essentially his bedroom as it had his rig in, a table and his bed. We've got two children so him moving in is something that was never going to happen but was ok for the monthly visit, he moved all of his stuff out a couple of days ago and now we're left with an empty room and up until last night the plan was to just grab a sofa bed for "if people stay" and then use it as just a clothes drying room.
Going to be using the loft for a little collection idea I have aswell, as she'd never let me use the room as a collection room.
A bit of a waffle I know but I can't think of anything else to do with the room. I dont think its big enough to be a cinema room and we already have two rooms with viewing devices in.
What would you do with a spare room? Not necessarily in this instance but just in general?
Looking for ideas as I fear its destined to turn into a clothes drying room.
