What to Do With an Empty Room

So you’ve got a spare room just sitting there—maybe it’s been a dumping ground for clutter or just a blank canvas waiting for a new purpose. Whatever its past life was, it’s full of potential. Whether you want to boost your home’s value, make a little side income, or simply create a space you actually use, here are some fun, functional, and even profitable ideas for what to do with that empty room.

1. Use it for Storage (or Rent It Out!)

Got closets bursting at the seams? A spare room can be a total lifesaver when it comes to decluttering the rest of your home. Turn it into your personal walk-in storage—shelving units, labeled bins, maybe even a pegboard for tools or craft supplies.

Already feeling pretty organized? You might not need the space, but someone else probably does. With platforms like BuurBox, you can rent out that empty room to neighbors who need extra storage. It’s easy, low-effort, and a great way to make passive income off space you’re not using anyway. Win-win.

2. Create a Cozy Guest Bedroom

Still pulling out the air mattress when guests come to town? Why not upgrade to an actual bed and give them a cozy space to crash? A dedicated guest room adds comfort for your visitors and keeps the rest of your home running smoothly when people are around.

If there’s clutter you don’t want taking up space in your guest room, just shift it out with help from BuurBox—store it off-site or help someone else out by offering your space.

3. Build an At-Home Office

Still working remote or hybrid? Then you know the value of a quiet, focused workspace. Turning your spare room into a home office means you can finally ditch the kitchen table Zoom calls and create a setup that works for you—think desk, comfy chair, some plants, and a door you can close.

Bonus: once your workday’s done, you leave it all behind—mentally and physically. Peace restored.

4. Make It Your Hobby Hideout

We all need a space to unwind. Whether you’re into painting, gaming, reading, music, or LEGO-building, turning your extra room into a hobby zone makes your home feel more you. No need to clean up after every session—just shut the door and pick up where you left off tomorrow.

5. Turn It Into a Mini Gym or Yoga Studio

If dragging yourself to the gym is a struggle, bring the workout to you. A yoga mat, some weights, maybe a resistance band or two, and you’ve got yourself a solid setup. If you’ve got more space (and motivation), add a treadmill or bike and really go for it. No commute, no excuses—just wellness, on your terms.

Your space is completely open to the imagination, and we wish you luck as you decide how to make it your own. And remember, if you're looking for a way to earn some extra cash while making the most of your space, BuurBox is the way to go. Not only can you transform your spare room into something useful, but you can also rent it out to neighbors who need storage. It’s a great way to earn passive income from a room you’re not using, all while helping out others in the community. With BuurBox, there's no effort, just extra cash in your pocket. Let’s keep the ideas going.
