Have you ever wondered what to do with that extra room in your home that is sitting empty or being used as storage? Basements, walk-up attics, spare bedrooms and space over the garage are areas that can be transformed into a variety of living spaces for you and your family to enjoy, including:

• Media rooms and home theaters
• Game rooms
• Home gyms
• Libraries and reading nooks
• Home offices

Before starting a bonus room renovation, here are some tips to ensure you get the most out of the project.

• Plan the room, including deciding on a layout, making a wish list and creating a diagram of the room.
• Choose equipment, furniture and accessories to ensure there is sufficient space to accommodate all elements.
• Consider the natural light in the room and ways to incorporate different types of lighting to supplement the natural light and create the desired atmosphere.
• Think about storage options you may need in the room, such as cabinetry, built-ins, shelving and closets.
• Select flooring, paint colors and other design features such as a fireplace or wet bar.
• Hire a professional home design or remodeling company with experience to execute your ideas, design the room and complete construction.
