Create a quiet learning spot
As children grow up , they may need to spend more time studying . Transforming a playroom into a library or a study space can provide that out-of-the-way spot to get homework and studying done . Adults in the home also can use it for reading , paying the bills or any other task that requires concentration and quiet .
Build a home gym
If the space is large enough , bring in some workout equipment and make the play space one that encourages exercise and fitness . You may not even need large equipment and can utilize interlocking foam tiles that already may be in the playroom . With some free weights , resistance bands and even your own body weight , you can perform a number of beneficial exercises .
Expand your living space
If the playroom currently abuts another room that can use some more real estate but is separated by a wall , take down the wall to increase the square footage .
Set it aside for guests
Clean out the toys and bring in a bed and nightstand . Now you ’ ll have a dedicated spot for overnight guests to stay , or a room that visiting older children ( and eventually grandchildren ) can call their own . Playrooms are much-used areas when children are young . These rooms can evolve as kids
