🏠 Spare Room, Big Ideas - Series

“Let’s turn that sad little bonus room into something worth showing off.”
Almost every home has that room.

The one with the door always half-closed. The room that holds a yoga mat, three unpacked boxes, and a vague sense of guilt. You meant to do something with it… and then life
happened.
At Clever Habitat Pros, we help homeowners in Kitsap and King counties take that spare room from awkward to awesome. Whether it’s 8x10 or a full bonus space above the garage, here’s what we can turn it into:
🎥 1. The At-Home Media Zone (Popcorn Not Included)
Why fight for the best seat at the theater when you can build the best seat at home?

Media rooms don’t have to be dark dungeons. We can help create a sleek, sound-tuned
space with:
Built-in surround sound
Light control (think blackout shades or layered dimmers)
Hidden cable management
Tiered seating or cozy lounge setups
Make your movie nights the stuff of legend — or at least better than your neighbor’s living room projector taped to a chair.
🛏️ 2. Guest Room Goals
If your “guest room” currently doubles as a storage bin graveyard, it might be time.
We can create a swoon-worthy guest space with:
Custom storage that hides your chaos
Lighting and paint that make it feel luxe
Murphy beds, built-ins, or daybeds for flexibility
Soundproofing (in case your guests snore like wild boars)
Hosting doesn’t have to mean apologizing for the air mattress anymore.

🧑💻 3. Home Office That Doesn’t Feel Like a Punishment
Working from home? Still using the dining table? You deserve better.
We can turn your spare room into a focused, functional space with:
Custom desks and shelving
Built-in charging hubs and cable control
Acoustic treatments (for all those Zoom meetings)
Lighting that keeps you from feeling like a vampire
WFH shouldn’t mean “work from haphazard.”
🎨 4. Creative Studio / Craft Cave
If your idea of fun involves glitter, fabric, sketchpads, or soldering wires — welcome to your new favorite room.
We can create a dream space with:
Task lighting
Deep drawers and tall shelves
Durable, cleanable surfaces
Custom pegboards or wall organizers
You bring the creativity. We’ll bring the clever storage.

🧒 5. Kid Adventure Room
Toy chaos doesn’t have to spill into the rest of the house.
We’ve turned spare bedrooms into:
Cozy reading nooks
Indoor climbing corners
Art zones with wipeable walls
Playroom/movie combo rooms that grow with your kids
Imagination needs space — and a solid design plan.
🧠 Don’t Just Have a Spare Room. Use It.
We love helping families reimagine their spaces. Whether you want practical, playful, or Pinterest-worthy, we’ll turn your “eh, we’ll get to it” into “wow, we actually use this room now.”
🛠️ Coming Up Next…
This is just the beginning. Over the next few weeks, we’ll take a closer look at each of these room ideas — from epic media rooms to guest spaces that actually impress your in-laws.
