If you're in need of ideas for your bonus room, it helps to consider needed functionality. For example, what do you wish you had more room for in your home? Are there any hobbies or projects you wish you could do more often but don't have the space? By focusing on using a bonus room for a specific purpose, you can avoid letting extra space go to waste. Here are some ideas for turning your bonus room into a functional space:
One idea is to turn your bonus room into a designated space for crafting projects. You can devote specific storage and furnishings to help you stay organized and make sure your supplies are readily available. Furthermore, creating a craft room or workshop gives you space to focus without worrying about pets or small children getting into your tools and supplies.
While it's possible to exercise anywhere in your home, having a designated space for it will help keep you focused and motivated. Add some floor mats for stretching and support, along with whatever cardio equipment you might prefer. Turning your bonus room into a home gym means you'll have space for bulkier equipment like treadmills or dumbbell racks. Add a smart TV or Bluetooth speaker system, so you can work out to your favorite music without disturbing the rest of the house.
If you or anybody in your household plays a musical instrument, turning your bonus room into a music room is an excellent option. By adding simple foam panels to the wall for extra noise-dampening, you can essentially create your very own DIY practice studio. If nobody plays an instrument, you can still use your bonus room as a place to enjoy music. Set up a stereo and surround-sound speakers with comfy seating, and you'll have the perfect musical retreat.
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
