Ways To Creatively Use Space In The Home

August 12, 2020 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Your home is unique in itself and what you do with it. There’s no limit to what’s possible when you own your home, and there can certainly be changes that you can make to really transform an area of your home into something unique. Here are some ways to creatively use space in the home.

Create A Home Cinema
A home cinema is a definite thing to consider when it comes to your home, and it’s certainly one space that will go down very well with the household, as well as with family and friends. It’s worth thinking about the space and where it would be most suitable. You may have to build an extension to make it happen or completely renovate a room with a home cinema design in tow. Think about how you could do it on a budget but also if you have more money, it might be worth the investment to go all out, especially if you’re a household who loves watching movies. You might want to incorporate some old-style features of a cinema house or make it modern. It all depends on your preferences and what you’re trying to achieve with the space itself.

Make A Games Room For The Family
A games room is always a treat for the family, and it gives you the opportunity to spend more time with your loved ones too. It can also provide useful for dinner parties and social occasions where you might have friends and family over. When creating a games room, consider everyone’s preference in what they enjoy playing. For example, it could be a snooker table, or you might want a darts board and some game arcade machines in there. Pick what matches to personalities and preferences of your household first before investing in a games room.

Turn Your Bathroom Into A Spa
A bathroom is a space where you come to relax, and it’s also one of the most used places in your home. If you’re after something really creative with this space, then you can always consider making it more spa-like. Perhaps you could have a space for towels, spa treatments like body scrubs and face masks. You could incorporate a rainfall shower and have a freestanding bathtub. Finish it off with some scented candles and incense, and you’ve got yourself your own at-home spa to enjoy whenever you want.

Build A Self-Sustainable Garden
A self-sustainable garden is something that can really help benefit your outdoor space and your household as a whole. A vegetable patch or herb garden can be a great addition to your space, and some even build chicken dens to enjoy the luxury of fresh eggs every day or two. It’s good to use your garden space for something more than simply lounging outside in it. Growing your own food source can also save you money in the bank too!

There are lots of ways you can get creative with your space, so use these tips to your advantage when it comes to your own home.

Journey To Space is a fascinating documentary on space travel. The film starts with the Space Shuttle and expands from there. I was interested learn more about the Space Shuttle, growing up in an era when this was the way that people were going into Space. The documentary also spent a little time on the International Space Station (ISS), but most of all the movie covered the future journey to Mars.

As someone that has always been fascinated by Space, Journey To Space was a great film and one that I highly recommend that everyone see. Thanks to Shout! Factory, I’m giving away three Blu-rays on my blog.  is available now on Blu-ray and 4K.

The Sega Toys Homestar Planetarium – Open Your Child’s Eyes to the Stars

About the Homestar Planetarium

The night sky is brought into your home and projected with Homestar—a powerful home planetarium that uses the same technology as science museums. Create a gorgeous display of 60,000 stars, just for you.

The Sega Toys Homestar Planetarium - Open Your Child's Eyes to the Stars

Homestar is incredibly realistic because it uses the most advanced lenses. It comes from the brilliant mind of inventor Takayuki Ohira, who holds the world record for creating technology to show the most stars—over 20 million—with the Megastar Planetarium. Ohira wanted to bring that same universe into peoples’ homes, letting them finally see the countless stars that are masked by light pollution or that aren’t visible to the naked eye.

The star-filled sky rotates in the same direction as the Earth, letting you study the Northern Hemisphere—you might even catch a shooting star, too. An integrated timer lets you drift off to sleep under the glowing landscape.

Whether you use it as a soothing nightlight for the kids, or to create a calming ambiance for yourself, now the stars are always visible—no matter where you live.
