ERIE, Pa., March 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether it's
a spare bedroom, the basement or extra space above the garage,
there are lots of reasons to personalize "bonus" space in your
home. Whatever your motivation, Consumer Reports estimates
adding a flex or double-duty room can potentially boost your
home's value by 4 to 6 percent. If you are looking for ideas,
Erie Insurance has five suggestions to create a bonus room to
brag about:
1. Workout space: Make a home gym with
rubber flooring, fitness equipment and free weights. Or mellow out
and design your own yoga sanctuary. Either way, adding mirrors to a
room can make a smaller space appear larger and help you check your
form.
2. Kids playroom: Whether it's for your own kids,
grandkids or a home babysitting setup, the little ones will love
having their own space. Houzz has this list of ideas for
designing a playroom.
3. Arts and crafts room: Here's your excuse to
splurge on home organization accessories! Creative hobbies like
sewing, painting, knitting or quilting require lots of supplies. A
designated space can help you keep your creative focus.

4. Movie theatre: With a home theater, the whole
family can enjoy the big-screen experience without the overpriced
popcorn. The must-haves? A projector, comfy seating, dimmable
lighting and a solid sound system. Amp up your next showing
with this list of creative family movie night
ideas.
5. Music room: Soundproofing makes at-home
recordings sound cleaner - and keeps the neighbors happy, too.
Whether you want a home recording studio or just a space to jam
with friends, opt for bold, inspirational colors, mood lighting and
lots of storage space.
Whenever you tackle a major home improvement project, don't
forget to check in with your insurance agent. Major improvements
that add value to your home often mean you need a higher limit on
your homeowners insurance. Learn more about what makes our
