Have an extra room or a cozy nook that’s not reaching its full potential? At Timan & Co., we love helping homeowners transform unused areas into beautiful & functional spaces. And you guessed it–complemented with the perfect window treatments. Whether your bonus space is big or small, check out our list of 8 inspirational ways to make the most of it.
Entertain a Media Room
A media room is a timeless choice for a bonus space. It’s perfect for movie nights, video games, or marathon-watching your favorite shows. Go for cozy seating and a big screen to create a theater-like experience at home. Don’t forget blackout shades to enhance your viewing, day or night.
Create a Playroom
A dedicated playroom gives kids their own space to explore, imagine, and unwind. Lots of bright colors, toy storage, and creative corners for crafts or reading. For safety and peace of mind, we recommend cordless window treatments in child-friendly zones.
Design a Guest Retreat
If you don’t need the space for daily use, why not create a welcoming guest room? A thoughtfully designed retreat with soft lighting, plush bedding, and privacy-enhancing shades can make guests feel right at home. Careful, it could be too comfortable to leave!
Set Up a Sleepover Room for Grandkids
Have grandkids who visit often? Create a special room just for the little ones! Add fun elements, like bunk beds, bean bags, and a reading area. Durable, easy-to-use window coverings help keep the space cozy and kid-proof for every stay.
Build a Home Office
Whether you work remotely, or just need a quiet place to organize your calendar, a home office is a practical way to use your bonus space. Choose window treatments that reduce glare and enhance natural light for an efficient, productive workspace.
Blend Indoor & Outdoor Living
If your bonus space features large windows or opens to a patio, embrace that! Create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience with stylish furnishings and energy-efficient shades to protect interiors from sun exposure.
Then, just right outside those doors, perfect the outdoor living with a pergola. It’s just the right shade and protection from the elements. Motorized louvers and exterior shades are optional enhancements that further the enjoyment and extend the season.
Flex a Home Gym
Support your health and fitness goals with a workout space at home. Whether it’s yoga, cardio, or strength training, a dedicated gym keeps you motivated. Use dual shades that let in natural light and provide privacy.
Bonus Idea: A Family Game Room
Looking for more ways to connect as a family? A game room is a fun and flexible space for board games, cards, video games, or a ping pong table. It’s a great way to create lasting memories!
