"Flex rooms remain in high demand because homeowners want the flexibility to adapt a space to their needs—then adapt it again when those needs change," said Matthew Dooley, Vice President of Architecture for the company's Century Complete brand. "Whether used for a functional workspace, a game room, or a home gym, these versatile rooms elevate the overall living experience."

Wait, What's a Flex Room?

Flex rooms are areas in a home that can serve multiple purposes. Sometimes referred to as flex spaces, hobby rooms or bonus rooms, flex rooms are designed for homeowners to customize as they see fit.

10 Versatile Flex Room Ideas

1. Home Office: Work from home? Transform your flex space into a functional home office. Start with a spacious desk and comfortable chair, then add bookshelves, décor and other furniture to customize to your desired aesthetic.

2. Home Movie Room: Calling all movie buffs. Turn your flex room into a home theater with a high-definition television, immersive sound bar, and comfy seating. You can also add media shelves if you're a die-hard fan of physical media. For tasty additions, consider a popcorn machine or mini fridge.

3. Home Library: Can't wait to dive into a book at the end of a long day? A home library could be the perfect escape. When setting up your flex space for a home library, consider warm lighting, comfortable lounging options, and plenty of book storage.

4. Home Exercise Room: Eliminate the need to drive to the gym and achieve all your fitness goals right at home. Whether you prefer yoga, weightlifting, or simply need space for your stationary bike, creating a home gym is a great way to make the most of your flex room and power up your lifestyle.

5. Play Area: Give the kids a fun space to get out some creative energy. Decorate the space with a touch of whimsy, with plenty of storage compartments for toys and accessible surfaces for arts and crafts.

6. Craft Room. Speaking of arts and crafts, what about your jewelry-making business, needleworking interest, or newfound pottery hobby? If you have a flex room in your house, turning it into an organized craft room might elevate your hobby into a full-blown passion or be the spark you need to refuel a dormant obsession.

7. Game Room: Satisfy your billiards, arcade, or video game craving by elevating your flex space into the perfect game room. If video games are your favorite (or if you have an extra-large bonus room), consider a hybrid movie-game room.

8. Music Room. Ease into some slow jazz, or turn up the amp and bust out a guitar solo in your flex-room-turned-music-room. Consider purchasing specialized wall mounts for your instruments, adding a few seats for your biggest fans, and leaving plenty of space for your entire band to move with the music.

9. Meditation Room. Instead of turning up the noise in a music room, how about crafting the perfect Zen sanctuary? Transforming your bonus space into a meditation room is easy with the help of yoga mats, white noise machines, fragrance diffusers, and essential oils.

10. Guest Room: Sometimes the best use of a flex room is the most obvious: a guest bedroom. Having a dedicated guest room will allow you to host friends and parents when they are in town for the holidays.
