Extra space is a precious commodity for many of us, and the house that awards a bonus room or flex space is worth its weight in gold. Whether you call it a flex room, a bonus room, lower level rec room, or a loft room, these multi-purpose rooms are defined as an area in a home that can be used for a variety of functions.  

Looking forward to a stay-at-home date night this Valentine’s Day? Your space is “romantic.” Excited to play with your grandkids next weekend? Your space is “lively.” Want to practice your favorite hobbies, like painting and scrapbooking? Your space is “personal.” Depending on your mood and what you’re feeling, your bonus space is whatever you want it to be! Take a look at a few design ideas on how  to use this space in your new Cornerstone Home:

Your Date Night In: Who says you have to go far for a romantic date night? With Valentine’s Day around the corner, nothing says “love” better than a home that’s in touch with your lifestyle. Use your bonus space for a fun time watching movies, playing games, taste-testing wine and cheese, and everything you love with your sweetheart. Grab a fuzzy blanket, a warm drink, and get cozy as you experience the simple pleasures of staying at home.

Your Private Retreat: This is your time! With a gorgeous new home designed for smart and easy living (and a maintenance-free lifestyle), you can choose exactly how you want to spend your moments. In your large bonus space, put your wellbeing first and try relaxing practices like yoga and meditation that make you feel incredible. Light some candles and incense, hang your favorite art and photos, and enjoy the beauty of freedom. 

Your Creative Studio:  Do you love to draw and paint? How about create scrapbooks and photo albums for your grandchildren?

Your Grandkids Playroom: Built with comfort features for active adults, your brand new home is also comfortable for the little ones! When your grandchildren come over for a visit, your bonus space can be their own personal oasis to laugh and play. Why not try that new toy or game they’ve been talking about? How about an impromptu dance party or movie marathon? In your beautiful, open space, there’s no limit to what their imagination can create…
