One of the things we like to hear when people come to get a storage unit is how they are transforming a room in their house once they move out their unnecessary possessions. It seems the phrase “spare room” is no longer a true term anymore, as more and more people are getting creative and turning the extra rooms in their houses into usable space. What would you do with an extra room in your house after you got a Carson storage unit? Here are some of the best “spare room” ideas we have heard from customers at our Carson storage facility on Figueroa: 1. Hobby Room It doesn’t matter what type of craft you are into. It could be wood working or making your own personalized trinkets to sell in your Etsy store. Regardless, it is your room where you can let your creative juices flow. 2. A Meditation/Contemplation Room Life is hectic and stressful for most of us. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a space in your home that is dedicated to rest and relaxation? This can simply be a place you can sit down and think, without the rest of the world interrupting your thoughts. 3. Library/Reading Room Along the same lines as a place to go for peace and quiet, a library or reading room can hold your collection of books neatly. There’s no need to go wild with the furnishings; just a simple table and chair could do the job. 4. Private Mini-Bar You would always have a place to invite your friends for a Friday night get-together or a room for special occasions if you made that spare room into a mini-bar. Think of all of the possibilities! You could go all out with the furnishings – a full bar, bar stools, and liquor shelves filled to the gills – or you could keep it cozy with just a few of your favorite liquors and a kitchen bar stool and table set. 5. Music Room Every musician dreams of having their own music room to jam in. Why not go ahead and do it now that you have the space? Set up those speakers and hang the musical instruments on the wall for safe-keeping when you are not using them. 6. Kids’ Play/Study Room If you have little ones, you could make the space into a room just for them to enjoy. Set up a couch to make it cozy. A desk and chair would be a great place for the little ones to draw or color or for the older children to do homework. 7. Plant Room Do you love plants? If there is not enough sun peeping through the windows in the room, you might have to invest in plant lights. However, a plant room can be just as welcoming and calming as your reading or meditating room and it would be a wonderful place to invite company.
