While many people aren\u2019t in the lucky position of having a spare bedroom or a ton of extra space in their apartment, some are. This may be less common in a New York City apartment<\/a> with limited room, but weirder things have happened. If you happen to find yourself in that fortunate position, you might be left thinking of what to do with that extra room or space. There are so many options, it is akin to a blank canvas and you are the artist with a paintbrush.<\/span><\/p>\n

Six Ways to Convert Your Spare Bedroom<\/h2>\n

While you could just use the space as a spare bedroom, that might not provide much value if you live alone. Instead, you can easily transform that empty space or room into a place you will actually use and will bring you happiness. Need some inspiration? If so, you\u2019re in the right place. Here are a few different possible uses for that spare bedroom or spare space in your apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Home Office<\/h3>\n

When people study, do work, or do research at home, they rarely have a space dedicated to just doing work and nothing else. Well, if you have a spare bedroom or spare corner in your apartment, it can be a great place for a little office<\/a>! Not only will it help you get things done, it can also keep you away from the various distractions such as the TV. All you really need is a desk, an office chair, and some shelves\/bookcases for keeping documents or paper sorted. Also, if you work from home from time to time or are self-employed, you can actually get a tax deduction for this home office.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Extra Storage<\/h3>\n

This one isn\u2019t very creative, but can be one of the most helpful on this entire list. With how small some apartments can be (and with how much stuff most people have) any spare or extra storage<\/a> is a godsend. If you find yourself cramped for space or need a place for your bicycle or anything else large, a spare bedroom is a great place to store it for a while. This can also be a good \u201cplaceholder\u201d option while you choose what you want to do with the extra space or room.<\/span><\/p>\n
