Extra Space can lead to a Happier Home

Two people who love each other and live together need their own space at times to recharge and relax on the weekend or after work in order to be the best mate they can be.

If those two people have children it becomes even harder to find the coveted “me” time that is required to maintain a happy home.

Many people living together deal with this problem by going to a local bar to watch the game, taking trips to the shopping mall, or hanging out at a friend’s house.

While the time apart may prevent arguments and tension it can also create separation.

What if there were a way for you to peacefully relax and recharge with out leaving your driveway?

Below are a few examples of ways to make it happen

Build a Man Cave

The term “man cave” is a metaphor describing a room inside the house such as the basement or garage or attic or office, or outside the house such as a wood shed or tool room where “guys can do as they please”, without fear of upsetting any female sensibility about house decor or design

In a man cave men can watch the game, drink a beer and eat barbecue for a lower price than going out to a restaurant or bar. Wives are happier, less worried and feel safe knowing that their husband is in “his room” watching the game instead of messing up the living room or getting into trouble in the streets.

Create a Read and Relax room

A read and relax room is exactly what it sounds like. It is a room that has a comfortable place to sit or lay down when reading a good book. It has bookshelves, soft rugs on the floor and inspiring quotes on the wall. There may even be an extra closet where shoes and winter clothes can be stored.

Set Up a Home Gym

The gym is a great place to let off some steam and working out leads to a healthier and happier lifestyle. It can also be a place that provides a bonding activity for you and your partner to enjoy together. The problem with going to the gym is that it typically takes an additional hour of travel, changing clothes and showering that make it hard for couple to enjoy the benefits of a gym routine. The solution is to bring the gym equipment to you. Get some yoga mats, a set of dumb bells, a jump rope and a blue tooth speaker and you are on your way.

If you have the space, pick out a room and make the space that works best for your relationship. If you don’t have the existing space consider getting an additional bedroom added to your existing house, convert your garage into a living space or remove a wall to create the place for you.
