Unleashing the hidden potential of your spare room means exploring interior design ideas and experimenting a little too. So before you wave goodbye to wasted space with a much-needed makeover, consider these easy tips!


  • Embrace versatility: Multifunction reigns supreme. So, craft a spare room design where form and more than one function come together. Think reading room meets home gym or game room that doubles as a guest space.
  • Play with patterns: Unused rooms are rife with potential for play. You can infuse these interiors with striking motifs and personality. From bold wallpapers to chic textiles, let patterns narrate a captivating design story.
  • Let there be light: Layering lighting like a designer creates depth, ambiance, and allure. Balance natural and artificial sources to create a warm, inviting glow in your new room.

2. Adding a library

Whip your small spare room into shape with cozy personal library decorating ideas. Start with floor-to-ceiling shelves and fill them with your favorite titles. Next, pick a pedestal and comfy armchair or chaise lounge and add a chunky throw blanket for those chilly nights. A floor lamp will offer the perfect light for late-night reading sessions. And why not add a coffee station for those leisurely weekends spent with a good book?

3. Listen to music

Your spare room should be your oasis, so if what you like is music, adding a record player with your favorite records is a must, and keep it organized. Adding a closed storage like a credenza is an option, and if you're more creative, you can have open record store style shelves.

4. Home Bar

If you already have a built-in home bar, add some cozy club chairs, and keep it moody with dark colors and leather.
