Has your child left home?
6 ideas on how to bring new life to an empty room
When the kids leave home, their old room may be empty and remind you of their childhood. But instead of leaving the room unused, you can transform it into something new and functional. At Pelican Self Storage, we can help you store the things you want to keep as memories while making the most of the space in your home.
Here are 6 ideas for what you can do with the extra space:
A luxurious guest room
Transform that empty room into an elegant guest room where friends and family can stay overnight. Decorate with personal touches and comfortable furniture to create a cozy atmosphere. Maybe you can reuse some of the furniture that was already in the room or invest in something new to give it a breath of fresh air.An adult version of the kids' room
Even if your child has left home, he or she will probably still come to visit. So you can make the room more grown-up by removing the teenage posters, updating the furniture and painting the walls a new color. That way, the room can still feel like your child's, but with a more mature style.A home office or reading corner
Have you always wanted a quiet place to read or work? Now you can transform that old children's room into a home office or cozy reading nook. With some simple adjustments, the room can be transformed into the perfect place to focus and relax.A hobby room
Now that you have more time and space, you can dedicate the empty room to your hobbies. Whether you sew, paint or play music, you can use the room for creative projects. A perfect place to store your materials and equipment and give yourself a personal space to pursue your interests.Man cave or den
Do you dream of a place where you can relax, watch movies or play games? Make it a man cave or a cozy room with a sofa, TV and maybe a table tennis table or pool table. Here you can create your very own sanctuary.Gym
Get your own gym at home and save money on your gym membership. With yoga mats, mirrors and a few exercise machines, you can set up your own workout room and make training easy and convenient.
Bonus tip
Even if you transform the room, you can still preserve the memories.
Make sure you store the things that have sentimental value and consider renting a storage unit at Pelican Self Storage in Copenhagen for the belongings you no longer have room for.
That way you can safely store your memories while enjoying the extra space in your home.
