One of the key elements in modern home design is the incorporation of a lifestyle room. These are spaces in your custom home that aren’t technically bedrooms, but they can be whatever you want them to be.
Depending on your life stage and interests, a lifestyle room can become an invaluable addition to your dream home. At Ridgeline, we’re here to teach you how to enhance your space with a lifestyle room the whole family can enjoy.
Reasons to Add Lifestyle Rooms to Your Custom Home
Lifestyle rooms offer you the freedom to make them into whatever you want. At various stages of life, our needs and preferences change, and lifestyle rooms are your adaptable canvas. They are not bedrooms, yet they aren’t your typical living areas either.
These rooms often find their place over a garage, in an attic, or tucked away in a basement, making the most of underutilized spaces in your custom home. Another huge benefit of incorporating a lifestyle room in your home is its potential to add significant value to your property.
A finished lifestyle room can enhance your home’s worth by up to $30,000. But it’s not just about monetary value; it’s about enhancing your quality of life. The key lies in making these spaces both functional and uniquely tailored to your interests and needs.
Fitness Lifestyle Rooms
One of the most popular categories of lifestyle rooms is fitness-oriented spaces. The options are virtually limitless, catering to everyone’s unique needs and preferences. Consider these ideas for your bonus room transformation:
