Idea #2: Recreation Room
Turning an extra room into a recreation room is a popular choice for people wanting something more usable and fun. A recreation room might consist of an arcade, man cave, home theater, or just a fun and creative space to hang out. Recreation rooms usually have nice seating areas, large-screen TV, games, and sometimes a bar. Cool LED strip lighting and some extra work on the walls can also have an impact. Look what this person did with their extra room (in this case, a basement)
