What’s a flex room, you ask? To put it simply, it’s a room with multiple purposes. So it’s a flexible room. They usually lack the identifying characteristics that categorize a room.
Some wonder if the main purpose of the flex room is to do anything; can’t you do that in most rooms? One can work out in their bedroom and rehearse a dance routine in the living room. So is a flex room worth it?
Modern interiors, the home construction contractors in Rhinelander say yes. For most homes, a flex room does have something that doesn’t fall under the category of just ‘any old room’. To speak to these custom builders about whether or not your home can accommodate one, go to their website to get in touch.
If you’re unsure if it’s the right move, here’s the breakdown of flexible spaces.
They Grow With You
Whether you live alone or with a family, you must know how your needs and interests change over time. Similarly, your home decor and your home will change over time to reflect that. However, buying an all-new house is not easy, and performing an entire revamp is no small (or inexpensive) feat either.
This room will have little to no permanent fixtures, so a complete transformation will be relatively low-effort and low-cost.
They’re Future Proof
With flex spaces, you get to try things, temporary things, before letting newfound interests affect the entire function and aesthetic of your home. In your thirties, you may prioritize functionality.
You might use your flex room as a gym during the day and a meditation room at night. In your fifties, that desire for convenience may have converted into a desire for minimalism. Your flex room will function as the perfect storage space before you’re sure you’re willing to part with your previously treasured collections.
They Add Versatility
When you come home after a long day, the activities that ensue are typically limited to the confines of your home. Instead of collapsing in front of a television, perhaps you’ll retreat into your reading room. Perhaps a few months later, you’ll have an aromatherapy room to unwind in.
Adding a room designed for something extra makes space for a little extra in your day-to-day activities.
They Remind You to Add Versatility
Along with having the space and the access, you’ll also have the reminder. Having the room will ensure you go out of your way to introduce something interesting into your home. By extension, you will increase your hobbies and perhaps your skillset.
They Increase Your Property Value
If you think you may sell your home, a flex room will help you negotiate a better offer. If the new buyers have no interest in flex space, they will certainly be interested in an empty and repurposable room.
