Those who pull 9 to 5 shifts can only manage to visit the gym after their working hours in the evening, which is when the place is most crowded. Moreover, membership fees for renowned fitness studios can be rather high, which usually deters people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have an extra room in your house, you can use it to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/easy-tips-setting-home-gym.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set up a home gym<\/a> \u2013 that too without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to proceed with this idea is to figure out your workout requirements and then buy the equipment and machines accordingly. A standard home gym usually consists of a treadmill, weight bench, elliptical or exercise bike and dumbbell sets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, you can take a look at our guides detailing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/space-requirements-home-gym.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">space requirements for creating a home gym<\/a> as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/cost-building-home-gym-pakistan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost of adding a gym to your home<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/diy-gym-equipment-ideas.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ideas for DIY exercise equipment<\/a> that you may find useful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Home-Theatre-or-Media-Room\"><strong>Home Theatre or Media Room<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-B-02-07-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"turn spare room into Home Theatre or Media Room\" class=\"wp-image-93688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-B-02-07-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-B-02-07-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-B-02-07-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-B-02-07-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-B-02-07-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-B-02-07.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Turn your spare room into the entertainment corner of your home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning your extra space into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/pros-cons-home-theatre-pakistan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">home theatre<\/a> is one of the most popular spare room ideas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an unused spare bedroom, you can easily convert it into space where you and your family can watch television and movies comfortably. Even if the space is quite small, you can customize it to provide the intimate feeling of a theatre. The lack of windows and other openings is also a plus point when designing a home theatre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/basics-home-theatre-designs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Designing a home theatre<\/a> is actually rather easy. You need to start off by removing all the furniture and wall hangings in the room. If there are any built-in closets in the room, make sure to empty those out to make space for your electronics. Ideally, a media room should have a Smart TV or an HD projector with a motorized screen, Blu-Ray player, a quality sound system, speakers and cables to connect the equipment together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the complete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/home-theatre-system-cost-in-pakistan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost of setting up a home theatre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your personal style and preference, you can put a couch or a sleeper bed in your home theatre. A floor seating arrangement might work as well, though you will need to ensure the viewing angle and distance are optimal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you are not a fan of watching TV or movies, you can instead use a spare room in your house to create a music room where you can learn to play an instrument of your choice without disturbing the rest of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Game-or-Activity-Room\"><strong>Game or Activity Room<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-A-02-07-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Games room or activity area \" class=\"wp-image-93684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-A-02-07-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-A-02-07-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-A-02-07-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-A-02-07-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-A-02-07-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-A-02-07.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Elevate your family game nights with a customized activity room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have young children or teenagers in your home, one of the most practical things to do with a spare room is to turn it into an activity area. While larger spare rooms can be turned into a home arcade or can be used to put snooker, table tennis, air hockey table, and even a foosball table. Smaller rooms can be used for storing and playing different board games. Just make sure the room has ample lighting, comfortable seating space and lively d\u00e9cor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This spare room design idea will also allow you to spend more time with your loved ones during the weekends. After all, what can be more wholesome than a family game night?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use the extra space to set up a video gaming room. All you\u2019ll need for this project is your Xbox or PlayStation, gaming TV stand, TV screen or projector, good speakers, reclining chair and all of your other video game accessories. Make sure to add some storage space in the room to store your electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/setting-up-video-game-room-home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gaming room d\u00e9cor ideas and tips<\/a> for some much-needed inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Reading-Room-or-Home-Library\"><strong>Reading Room or Home Library<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-E-02-07-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"setting up a home library \" class=\"wp-image-93683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-E-02-07-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-E-02-07-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-E-02-07-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-E-02-07-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-E-02-07-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ways-to-Use-a-Spare-Room-E-02-07.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Turn your extra bedroom into a cosy retreat <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you a voracious reader? If so, you will absolutely love this spare room design idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This relatively budget-friendly spare room d\u00e9cor idea only requires the installation of tall bookshelves and some task lighting. If the room is big enough to fit a few armchairs and coffee table, that would be great. However, if the spare room in your home is on the smaller side, you can only add a simple one-seat sofa to complete the look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your reading room does not have windows that allow natural light, you should also consider adding hanging pendant lights to brighten up your space. Adding some potted plants and simple wall hangings to your d\u00e9cor will also make your reading room or home library look more cohesive and peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as the colour palette is concerned, you can opt for brighter hues such as red and orange, neutral shades such as yellow or calmer colours such as blue and grey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some more useful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/home-library-design-ideas.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ideas on how to give your home library a stunning look<\/a>.
