Creative ways to use flex spaces in your home that are adaptable over timeThe versatility of a flex room adds valuable square footage to a new home and provides an opportunity to reflect your own unique style in a space that can meet the dynamic needs of your family. Almost every new home has a flex room, and these bonus spaces can serve different purposes, depending on your needs over time.

Wondering how to decorate a flex room or looking for some ideas and inspiration to take your space to the next level? We’ve gathered some of our favorite flex rooms and creative uses for these spaces. Learn more about what flex rooms are and what you can do to make the most of them in your new home.

What is a Flex Room?

A flex room is an area of your home that can be used for a variety of purposes. It could be an entire room or just a small space, such as a niche under a stairway. These rooms or spaces might evolve over the years to meet your shifting needs. Today, most floor plans are designed with an extra room, a spare bedroom, a spacious stairway landing, or a finished basement, and these flex spaces are

blank canvases just waiting for you to make them your own!

Whether you know exactly how you want to design and decorate the flex room in your home, or you are struggling to commit to an idea, the space can adapt and change with your family over time.

Craft Rooms

Transform your flex space into the ultimate craft room with custom organizer shelving and cabinets to store all of your crafting supplies. Extra lighting is important feature for a functional craft room. Consider adding some task lighting to the space. Also, add a large table to spread out your projects or invite friends over for a fun evening of crafting. These craft room organization ideas will help you create your dream space and help get your creative juices flowing.

Reading Nooks or Libraries

Design a reading nook or library into your new home for the avid readers in your family. There are many ways to incorporate reading areas in your home that create a

CREATIVE FLEX SPACES

nice quiet place to dive into a great book including cozy reading nooks in a kids’ bedroom, underneath a stairway, or a whole room dedicated as a library. These reading nooks for kids and adults will spark your creativity! See more ideas and inspiration images in our website Image Library.

Entertainment Rooms

Entertainment rooms or theater rooms can provide the perfect place for endless movie nights and can be a great place to host a watch party for sports or season premieres of your favorites shows. Consider adding clean and subtle design elements to make it a common area for all family members to gather and enjoy a variety of different activities. Also, consider adding comfy, lounge furniture to provide a spot for your family and friends to relax.

Play Rooms

Play rooms or children’s retreats are the perfect example of how flex rooms can evolve over time, especially as your children age and use the space differently. Play rooms are evolving from a messy room to

stash kids toys to beautifully designed rooms that make a big design statement and inspire creativity. Kids of all ages love to have a separate, imaginative, and colorful space to call their own. Having a designated space for games, puzzles, and more makes for a tidier home, while keeping the kids entertained for hours with endless fun! We’ve gathered some of our favorite playroom spaces that we’ve designed to inspire you to create a fun space for your kids to enjoy.

Home Offices and Learning Centers

If you are working from home or simply looking for a productive space to focus or pay bills, adding a quiet home office can be a great solution to help you stay on task. An

office can provide a dedicated home for the computer and office supplies while creating a peaceful place to work remotely.

Creating a children’s homework station with a built-in desk complete with drawers and floating shelves can also help children stay organized and focused on their school work. The children’s learning center designed in our Tullymore Run model home utilizes the empty space at the stairway landing and is near the kitchen and great room.

Home Gyms

Create a personal gym in the comfort of your own home and have a private workout space available at your convenience. Flex rooms

make excellent home gyms. Home gyms can be as simple as adding a yoga mat and free weights or as elaborate as a room filled with fitness equipment, mirrored walls, and gym flooring. Mirrors will make the space feel brighter and larger, and also help you perfect technique and correct form.

Flex rooms have unlimited potential and can serve a variety of functions. Our professional designers are here to help you create a space that seamlessly transitions with your family through many milestones and seasons of life. We want to create a space that both meets the needs of your family and reflects your personal style. Visit our website Image Gallery for more flex room ideas and inspiration.

” “Everything from start to finish was great, I loved every single step of this

process. Granite Ridge has a great streamline process of building the home.

I also enjoyed having a tour of the facility to know what materials I was

getting and having a choice of so many premium materials.

Granite Ridge Builders is continuing to grow towards another record breaking year and we could not be more excited! With that growth, however, comes growing pains in the form of sky-rocketing material costs, material shortages, and the constant search for quality tradespeople across the industry. Granite Ridge Builders is confident in the path before us, despite the hurdles and uncertainties, and grateful for our partners who are making our success possible. Thank you for learning, growing, and adapting alongside us as we enter this new season.
