Hobby Room
Most of us have hobbies, such as: Painting, playing music, writing, singing or any other activities that need a quiet place to enjoy it. If this room overlooks a garden or beautiful landscape, it could be your perfect hobby room. This room could be your creative studio with all your musical instruments or painting tools if you are an artist.

Why doesn’t this extra room be a space for practicing yoga and getting rid of negative energy and enjoy relaxation? You can also invite your friends and share this wonderful experience together.
Family Room
A busy life can make our family time less in both quantity and quality. This extra room can be where you all gather a family in the weekends, public holidays or birthdays, etc. You can also load it with entertainment and recreational options such as video games, and playing cards. You can turn the room into a cinema with a TV screen and dimmed lights. Moreover, you can decorate the walls with family photographs which will make it a joyous place for the family.
