making the most of the extra room , and the most important thing is to choose what suits the routine and tastes of the resident(s). Below, we have separated

Remote work has become a reality for many people, and having a dedicated space to carry out tasks can be a good way to use the extra room. In this project designed by
architect Bianca Da Hora , the woodwork and color scheme were key to creating a
multifunctional, comfortable space that is perfect for concentration.

For those who have a book collection and dream of having a quiet place to
enjoy moments of concentration , setting up a reading nook in the second bedroom may be the best option. A
bookshelf to accommodate the books , a rug, an armchair and a lamp may be enough – for those who want to be even more daring,
placing pictures or paintings on the wall adds a special charm.
Games/TV Room

A classic idea, but one that can be done while still maintaining a cozy feel. If you are one of those
welcoming people who always have guests over , a guest room is a must-have in your home. Here, the important thing is to create a flexible decor and use versatile bedding to create a cozy atmosphere that pleases the different styles of guests.
Closet
A closet is a dream for many, and this becomes even more tangible when you have an extra room. In addition to closets to
organize clothes and shoes , you can opt for a
dressing table like in the project by architect Tânia Salles (photo) who, more than just a closet, built a space entirely dedicated to
self-care .

For those who have children, a
playroom is the perfect option for a play space that encourages learning and will also serve as entertainment for the little ones.
Fitness space
Flávia Rucelle Arquitetura Fitness - Caixinha de Música. O ambiente criado por Flávia Rucelle propõe uma experiência sinestésica de uma verdadeira caixinha de música por meio da interação entre imagem, som, luz e cheiro, transportando cada um para seu lugar único e singular. Com 18m² em construção modular, a iluminação e a automação são os principais diferenciais do projeto. Com muitos espelhos e envoltos pelo som da música clássica, a ideia é transportar para um universo paralelo carregado de memórias. Em sua estreia, Flávia alia sua expertise no universo fitness com as lembranças da infância que uma caixinha de música proporciona. Uma experiência sensorial e um ambiente instagramável.

Another idea for those seeking self-care and well-being is to create a
fitness space at home . Investing in flexible equipment that allows for a range of exercises is a great option, and it is important to ensure the
space is well ventilated to make it pleasant.
