Whether it’s used as a movie room, extra living room or study area, flex rooms are unmatched in their versatility. They can accommodate whatever stage of life you and your family find yourself in, and can change as the needs of your family do. Depending on what your hobbies and interests are, this multi-purpose space can be decorated in a variety of ways; draw inspiration from our beautifully-decorated model homes across Ontario and Houston, Texas, to help bring your flex space to life.
Transform it into a Home Theatre
The flex room at our Reserve at Spring Lakes model home in Tomball, Texas, is sure to impress even the most discerning movie critic. With a plush sectional that’s perfect for curling up in, ample storage space to store favourite flicks and a large-screen television that can be cleverly concealed behind sliding barn doors when not in use, this film-inspired flex space is Oscar-worthy.
Turn it Into a Cool Hangout Zone
Tired of the kids monopolizing the television to play video games? Draw inspiration from the upper-level flex space at our Avalon model in Caledonia, Ontario, and give them a space of their own by transforming your flex area into the ultimate hangout spot to play games, unwind with a book or spend time with friends.
Use it as a Home Office
Whether in need of a space to work from home or a quiet place for kids to study, transforming your flex room into a home office is always a practical choice. Desk units that can conceal smaller items like pens, papers and miscellaneous files were used at the Everett model home at Summerwood in Mint Hill, North Carolina, to maximize workspace and minimize clutter.
Transform it Into an Entertaining Hub
For families that love to entertain frequently, a flex space that has something for everyone is a must. Take a (pool) cue from the bonus room at Livingston in Hagersville, Ontario, and create designated areas for different activities. A pool table is the centerpiece of the room and clearly defines the play area, while beside it, a bar area is perfect for socializing with friends.
Dedicate it as a Space for Your Hobbies & Interests
Whether you’re in a band, are nurturing a budding talent or simply love to rock out, draw inspiration from the model home at Fairway Farms in Tomball, Texas, and transform your flex room into a cool music-inspired space with comfortable seating, a small table for songwriting and plenty of musical accents throughout, such as oversized throw pillows with vintage records on them. Don’t forget to leave space to showcase your prized instruments when not in use.
Transform it Into a Craft Room
If painting, drawing or working on other crafts is what sparks your fire, then convert your flex area into a craft room. Let your creativity run wild when designing this space (we love the playfully-patterned rug shown in the Fulbrook at Fulshear Creek model in Fulshear, Texas), and don’t forget to incorporate a storage unit to keep all your supplies at the ready.
