Whether your home has a large bonus room or a small nook, we believe there’s always potential to turn it into something you love. Custom Shades of London has 7 ideas for your bonus space. Let’s see what inspires you!
#1 Media Room
Duette® Honeycomb Shades with LightLock™
We can’t blame homeowners for wanting a media room! There’s nothing better than unwinding with a good movie or binging your favorite TV show. If you’re interested in designing a media room in your bonus space, we recommend incorporating blackout shades—especially if this room gets direct sunlight. You can enjoy a movie-theater experience at anytime of the day.
#2 Playroom
Designer Banded Shades
Extra space with kids is a dream come true. If you’re a parent with a bonus space in your home, consider turning it into a playroom. Make sure the design is child-safe! Cordless window shades are a must when little ones are around. You can relax knowing they’re playing in a safe area.
#3 Guest Room
Designer Banded Shades with Drapery
Another great option for your bonus space is a guest room. Design a guest room with your friends and family in mind by making it a home away from home. Don’t forget to incorporate shades that allow for ideal light and privacy control so your guests will feel comfortable. Rest assured that your loved ones are cozy.
#4 A Space for Your Little Loves
Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades
Whether you’re an aunt, uncle, grandparent, or are lucky enough to have a little one in your life, creating a special room just for them is a great use of your bonus space. Plus, they will feel so good knowing they have a safe, comfortable room to stay in when needed. Along with cordless shades, don’t forget to protect your little loves from outlets and sharp corners.
#5 Home Office
Pirouette® Shades
Since 2020, home offices have become increasingly popular. If you already have a home office or want to use your bonus space to create one, we can help you create a productive atmosphere. The right window coverings are necessary for reducing glare and distractions, plus they create a stunning backdrop.
#6 Incorporate the Outdoors
Duette® Honeycomb Shades
If you have a walkout basement or a backyard space beyond your doors, why not turn it into your own outdoor retreat? Large windows and doors beautifully connect indoor and outdoor areas, creating a seamless flow. Designing an inviting outdoor space can feel like adding an extra living room to your home. Just keep in mind the direction of the sun—choosing energy-efficient shades will help protect your interior from heat and UV damage.
#7 Game Room
If you want to use your extra space for your kids, but they’re too old for a toy room, consider a game room. It can be as simple as a desk meant for games or art, an air hockey or pool table, or a TV space for video games. The whole family can enjoy this room and your kids will feel lucky to have a hangout dedicated to them!
