When the kids leave the house, you may feel loss, but you have gained a new room! Some homeowners decide to downsize and go smaller. Others use the newly emptied rooms to create useful spaces. Plymouth, MI painters<\/a> from CertaPro Painters\u00ae show you ways to transform bedrooms in an empty nest.<\/p>\n

Once you have had the kids come back and collect their various mementos, pull down the concert posters, glowing stars and other remnants of their lives there. Give the room a thorough cleaning and decide what you\u2019d like to use it for.<\/p>\n

An Extra Bedroom For Company<\/h2>\n

\"InteriorMany empty nesters choose to change their children\u2019s room to a guest room. This could help encourage the kids to visit often, if they have a welcoming room to stay in. Gray walls with blue accessories give a calm chic look to any room. It\u2019s a relaxing retreat any guest will enjoy. Plus, gray walls are an easy color to work with when it comes to furniture and textiles.<\/p>\n

How About A Home Office<\/h2>\n

\"InteriorNatural wood and teal are a perfect combination for getting some work done. Many of us begrudgingly bring work home with us regularly. Why not turn your empty room into a perfectly paired office. A color like vivid teal helps you with brain power and thoughtfulness, while pairing it with wooden furniture or flooring tones it down. You don\u2019t want to feel overwhelmed! Bring in other subtle colors with tapestries and carpets.<\/p>\n

Dreaming About Arts And Crafts?<\/h2>\n

\"InteriorIf your crafts or projects are scattered throughout the house, give them a home! A craft or DIY room<\/a> could be the perfect solution. Whether you work on projects for hobby or business, having a space to contain the pieces will keep your house cleaner and your projects together. As an added bonus, it will keep glitter and fibers off the floor. For a creative outlet room, try using mint green for a relaxing effect. Then use stark white cabinets or drawers to store supplies and tools. You\u2019ll have space to store everything, but room to spread out when you need to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Weight No More For Your Home Gym<\/h2>\n

\"InteriorTalking yourself out of going to the gym is an easy task. Getting dressed, into the car, driving, the list goes on. A home gym makes it more difficult to skip days. Use an invigorating color like orange to get your juices flowing and give you a burst of energy. Then add a TV, some mirrors and a white board to count reps. Tone down the color with floor mats in black or gray. You\u2019ll find you get a better workout, and more often!<\/p>\n

If your workouts are less squats and more thoughts, turn your room into a meditation or yoga room. Accentuate your zen with walls in the blue or lavender families. Blue accentuates calmness while lavender helps you relax. Spas have been using these colors for years. Pair the color with wooden floors and mats and pillows. For the full effect, add a dimmer switch to the lights and you\u2019re ready to namaste.<\/p>\n

How About A Cozy Home Library?<\/h2>\n

\"LibraryBook lovers always seem to have a stack of hardbacks scattered throughout the house. Make a library dedicated to the literary works you\u2019ve grown to love. Line a wall or two with shelves for the books. To get the luxurious library feel, pick dark wooden shelves to match with dark brown walls. This will make the room feel like a cozy cocoon to curl up in for hours. Add some reading lamps and overstuffed chairs to complete the look and you\u2019ll be able to pour over authors for hours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If You Build It, The Grandkids Will Come<\/h2>\n

\"PaintingMaybe your kids have left the nest to start their own families. If your little one now has a little one of their own, turn the room into a cozy nursery. This will encourage visits and help you get more time with those grandkids. As they grow, the room could adapt to their needs as a playroom. Paint the walls pale green or yellow and add some of the little one\u2019s artworks. Leave space for a pack n\u2019 play or small daybed with a trundle. With space for them, the grandkids will always be begging to come to your house.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flex Your Man Cave Muscles<\/h2>\n

\"manMan caves are all the rage, so don\u2019t you want one? Take over the room to dedicate it to whatever you\u2019re dedicated to. Music, sports, cigars and brandy? Perfect. Use a dark forest green for the walls for a manly facade that is still easy to work with. Depending on what you\u2019ll use it for, add a large area rug for jam sessions, big screen tv for games or leather chairs for conversation. No matter what you\u2019re use, this room is all you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wait No More For Your Lady Lair<\/h2>\n

\"DiningWhile man caves have been in the spotlight, never underestimate the power of a lady lair. The new room could house all of your shoes, bags and various beauty secrets. Paint the walls pale dusty pink and add a small white fainting sofa and vanity. Finish it off with some green and pink artwork and of course a chandelier.<\/p>\n
