Is the bonus room finished?

Many new homes in Utah are purchased with unfinished basements. Leisure Villas’ 55+ senior communities however, do not have basements.

Instead we have bonus rooms (sometimes referred to as lofts). Though having an upstairs to your new home is not mandatory with every purchase, it is available on all three current floor plans.

When you walk upstairs you will find a beautiful, big room with excellent lighting, a full bathroom and a walk-in closet. All of which is finished. No need to worry about the hassle of finding sheet rockers, painters, or flooring installers.

Everything is already installed and finished. That is, except for the decorating. When it comes to décor, there are many possibilities for your bonus room.

How to decorate your bonus room:

Guest area:

Guest areas are among the most popular uses for the bonus room. The spacious room is perfect for making the guest room a suite for visiting family members or friends. The bonus rooms Leisure Villas builds are extremely spacious, making it perfect for a queen or king-sized bed, or even a few twin trundles for the grandkids to sleep in when they come to visit for the weekend.

Even with the beds in place, the bonus rooms have plenty of space to add an entertainment set or game table to keep your guest occupied and entertained.

Hobby room:

Picture this: you walk upstairs to find the morning sun trickling gently through your window. Placed in the center of the room is your painting easel.

The way the sun is hitting your recent color study is making the room feel almost magical.

In the corner is your desk. Though you don’t often work at home, here you have a nice place to handle the occasional email as well as work on your first novel. It will be a best seller, you can already tell just by how easily the story line has been coming to you.

In the other corner is a bookshelf and cozy chair. Or maybe it is a quilting frame. After all, your soon-to-be granddaughter’s first blanket isn’t going to make itself.

Whatever your hobbies or interests are, there is plenty of room in the bonus room to fill it with the collection of interests you have. It can be eclectic as you are, and just as messy (I mean creatively compiled) as you like without the worry of having to quickly clean up before any guests come to visit.

Entertainment room:

You are already the favorite grandparent, but score bonus points with your grandchildren by bringing them upstairs to a room full of everything their parents won’t let them get because “there’s no room” for it, like a ping-pong or foosball table.

With the combination of pool table, theater room and swimming pool at the clubhouse you are sure to become their favorite grandparents in no time.

Or perhaps you would just like a place to entertain yourself? Line the walls with your book collections or place your entertainment set upstairs along with your favorite chair. It’s the perfect place to relax without leaving home.

There are so many ways you could decorate your fully finished bonus room in your Leisure Villas home. The possibilities are too many to list. Deciding might be a challenge, but will be far enjoyable than worrying about how to finish walls.
