The spare bedroom
A spare bedroom has a plethora of potential uses. The installation of a floor to ceiling shelving system against one wall, for example, would be an excellent way of storing book, DVD or CD collections. DIY websites will stock these systems which can usually be added to if the buyer wishes to extend his storage space.
The shelving units are usually available as self-assembly, in various attractive wood or white finishes.
Assuming the shelving system has adjustable shelves, then part of it could be used for document or file storage. With the addition of a computer desk and desktop computer, the room becomes a small office for those who work from home.
A sofa bed is an ideal way of making a temporary guest room for visitors. When not being used as a guest room, a small TV, DVD player and sound system will create a perfect place to relax on the comfortable sofa and watch your favourite movie or to chill out listening to music.
If you wish to use the room simply as a storage area, then plan carefully how to utilise the space effectively. For documents, papers and files, a range of plastic, lidded storage boxes are available in different sizes. The boxes may be stacked on the bedroom floor or stored on shelves. Plastic boxes are extremely versatile in that they may be used to store any number of different items; children’s toys, photo albums or camping equipment such as portable gas stoves, hurricane lamps and sleeping bags for example.
