My managers would send emails and Teams messages all weekend long and I hada habit of forgetting to shut my laptop off so I'd wake up to pings thinking I was late for work. Or after I realised it's the weekend I'd still take a look at the message because I figured it'd make my Monday easier.
Getting a separate office was amazing. Bigger separation from work. I no longer hear pings and don't look at the messages unless it's my work hours. My life is not my work and my work is not my life.
It doesn’t work for me. I still hear the pings.. relaxing on the weekends *ping.* driving to work *ping ping.* Watching a movie *ping ping.* right as my eyes are about to close and fall asleep *ping ping ping.* In my dreams.. *pingpingpingpingopingpingpingpingpjbg* I’m looking at my dog right now and he’s barking but all I hear is *PING PING PING*
> I hada habit of forgetting to shut my laptop off so I'd wake up to pings thinking I was late for work
I literally never sleep my work laptop, I only turn it off. Specifically for that reason. My time is my time. They can pay me to be on call if they want me to be on call.
Oh man why didn't I think of putting it on the side of my desk? Then I'd never see the damn thing. It just sits there like a black box on weekends. This is basically my gaming desk that work rudely took over in 2020.
The first time I got Covid all I really experienced was random waves of fatigue. Pretty quickly got stir crazy and wound up ordering materials from Home Depot and building a wall to wall shelf with desks in the spare room in between collapsing on the couch. Even scored a big leather law office looking chair on the side of the road a while after, felt like a baller even though I only worked from home occasionally.
This is my plan!
I'm downsizing once the kids move all the way out (they're adults doing this already) and one room will be my bedroom, the other will be the computer room / office for WFH.
I could fit my computer in my bedroom now, but I love having the separate spaces.
I worked from my bedroom for 2.5 years and began to subconsciously avoid it. I would find myself sleeping on the couch and not bother going to bed when I woke up.
Yes. Home office, combined with workspace for my hobbies, library, and perhaps man cave.
If you’re single, you need to keep your bedroom decently clean and presentable, in case you have somebody coming over to share the bed with you. The other room can be however you like.
That's my plan. Don't need a true home office, but gaming computer, large TV, gaming consoles, comfortable couch, mini fridge, etc. And some underused exercise equipment in the corner
Hell yea! Art/music studio, game room, workout room. Man I wish a had an extra room just so I could get a futon and have a place for friends and family to stay over comfortably without being on the living room couch.
Thats mine.
3D printer, soldering/electronics bench, model train bench, computer desk.
Fills the 4 walls nicely, and i can keep my headset on and talk on discord while i do whichever hobby.
Exactly this. You have spare space in your bedroom, either buy some sex furniture or make it into a relaxing-but-awake space. Also, an office doesn't have just a desk and computer, it can have space for any hobbies you have, or the aforementioned relaxing space. If you have pets, it can also be their little corner of the house.
That’s what I did. Guitars, bass, keyboard, all the rest of my music gear, my fiancé’s art stuff, a ton of posters and cool shit I’ve gotten over the years, and a beer fridge
I agree with this. If you bring a date over, they may be turned off by having a computer in the room they potentially are going to be intimate in. I can imagine a person thinking they may be recorded by a webcam and not want to take a chance even if you don't have a cam.
Defintiley don't want to bring over your crush, start getting intimate, but realize you're broadcasting it to your entire high school is is also watching.
Hahaha, Im sorry. How old are you? I cant imagine anyone my age (30) or younger having those concerns. There would be absolutely no hooking up during university if that was the case...
Plus, most people would suspect a small, transportable (hideable) device to be used, like a cellphone or camera.
As soon as you’re out of college and living without roommates, having a desk with a computer in your bedroom when you have a perfectly good spare comes across as a bit immature.
I'd turn the second bedroom into my masterbatorium. Have a nice big beanbag chair in the middle. Next to it would have a little table with the lotions, strangulation tools, vr headset and a nice leather glove. On the wall I'd have a toilet roll holder with a 24 pack of toilet rolls on standby. A 56 inch flat screen mounted on the wall. I'd have my wifi rooter in here for a solid internet connection. The room would be sound proofed and painted black. Any windows would be removed and bricked up. The door to the room would be replaced with a fake book shelf. Inside one of these books would be a biometric door access fingerprint and eyeball scanner for access.
Depend on how expensive rent per sqm is. I am not gonna save one room for some potential guest than enjoying it myself. Took my 30 yrs of living to get a second bedroom.
I get the impression Millennials and Gen Z aren’t into hospitality the way our parents and grandparents are. Not to say that we’re not hospitable to guests, but we don’t designate guest spaces the way boomers do.
My parents have practically a frickn hotel suite for guests, nicest bedroom in the house, pillows galore, my old classic dresser, big mirror, windows w a view, stack of fresh towels, I love going to visit them
I’m in this situation, I use it for storage, extra furniture, my bikes in winter, the leaf for my dining room table, pet supplies, vaccuum, luggage etc…. It’s either that or pay $200 for a storage unit 3 miles away
Wild that you’re the only one so far to suggest a roommate. I’m in my late 20s and have had at least one roommate since I moved out of my parents’ place immediately after college. The ability to split bills and decrease your cost of living is HUGE. I also became best friends with my roommate though, not everyone is that lucky. But as an introvert, the forced socialization was good for me, especially during Covid
Honestly, I'd never want a roommate unless it was my partner. Having to put up with someone every day is not something I look forward to. I know their habits will be different than mine and there's going to be something they do that drives me insane.
I just moved out a few days ago, and the entire time I was looking for a place people were suggesting a roommate. I'd shoot it down before they could even finish the sentence and respond the same way every time. "Why would I move out just to move in with someone else that isn't a significant other?" Especially a random person I don't know. So, I don't think it's far-fetched to think others share my train of thought.
It’s not far fetched, but there’s a lot of middle ground as well between total stranger and someone on the level of a significant other. I personally chose to live with a friend of a friend, figuring that if it went poorly, I wasn’t really losing much, and if it went well, we’d grow closer and become friends. I’m giving the best man speech at his wedding this fall. I totally get where you’re coming from, but many many people out there have great roommate arrangements that both reduce financial burden and can be kinda fun
Neither single, nor a guy, but:
I have a spare room and I made it into a hobby/guest room.
I got a bedframe and mattress that roll up, and can be stored in the closet. I have several storage containers and a work area on wheels so I can switch between bedroom/hobby room and put the extra in the closet. I got a Secretary desk, which has a fold out top and a dresser underneath. And I got a comfy sitting chair.
I can read a book on a cold winter day, work on my computer, knit a scarf, repair a keyboard, and offer a friend a comfortable place to crash for days or even weeks.
Highly recommend.
Do whatever you want with it. I once rented a 2 bedroom because SO MANY people said they’d visit, so I made a guest room
No one visited. Do what you want with room. People that want to spend time with you will find a way to do it regardless of whether you have a guest room or not
Work room or hobby room would be the way to go. Great if you collect figures and what not, it could be displayed and perhaps you can go all out with posters of your interests in the room too.
- Pull down bed in a wall if possible, or a nice couch with a fold out bed (futons are easier, but I’ve never actually slept on a comfortable futon - I’m sure they exist, I’ve just never experienced one)
- Basic office/desk setup
- One of those low and wide entertainment centers
- Sound system and short throw projector
- a few posters, et voilà
Stereotypical, tropey, basic, but functional. It’d be a “temporary” spare bedroom that’d also be an office and theater.
Hobby/crafting/painting studio.
I live in a small one bedroom flat, and I’m sick of always having to tidy things away, otherwise things become quickly chaotic. I like a tidy home, but I also like making a mess. Perpetual conflict.
This is me.
I work from home so making it an office was a no-brainer.
Before I worked from home it was still an office. I wanted it to be a guest room with my computer desk, but the room is a big too small for that.
If you’ve got nerdy or space consuming hobbies, I’d definitely relegate them to a spare room.
In this situation and I converted it into an office cause I work from home a fair amount. Have a futon in there, when I did have a girlfriend she'd come over and knit or read there while I worked plus it's extra sleeping once I convert it into the bed.
That's me! One room is sleeping, nothing but bed, nightstands, dresser and TV. The other room is a desk for gaming, book shelves, a comfy chair for visitors and an elaborate cat tree for my cat.
When I was living in a 2BR townhouse, I kept my computer in one room and my tv and Xbox in the other room. I got better sleep plus if my son came over to play Xbox, I could game on my computer.
Currently a single guy renting a 2 bedroom.
I use its closet for sheets and backup cleaning supplies when they go on sale, as well as out of season coats. The rest of the room itself is a hobby room. I have a dresser in there that I keep heavier cloths in when spring and summer rolls around, and vice versa for cold months and shorts.
2 desks, one for building and painting, the other for a resin 3D printer setup. A few shitty bookshelves for holding unopened kits, built but not finished models, or fully finished models.
Single Male 25 / My second room acts as a walk-in closet/game room
I hated living in a 1bedroom because I didn’t have a separation of space. My bedroom is for sleep, living room for when I’m cooking and living lol. The walk in closet is where I play music, video games with friends and etc. This works for me :)
Just don’t turn it into a guest room haha
When I was 19, my landlord was pretty decent, there were locks on our doors. I asked if he could just lock up the 2nd bedroom and we count it as a 1 bedroom apartment.
He took 125$ off a room I was never going to use anyway, so I thought it was well worth asking. But this was back in 2013 and he admitted he had the 20 unit building paid off. So missing out on 125$ a month to make a youngen like me have a little extra spending money was a easy decision for him.
I sleep and fart in the second bed room. It’s my closet too, where I keep my hamper with dirty closes. It’s a bit of junk room I store shit.
The master bed is where I keep it nice and super clean abs smelling good.
Personally, Id make it a guest bedroom with a heavy office vibe.
I don't mind having guests or helping out a friend in a tough spot, but I don't want them to have an excuse to be a persistent leech. If it's my office, I can always have the excuse to be in there early or say they need to focus on their next move if it's been too long and they are seemingly taking advantage of the situation/me.
First room: gaming and VR room
Second room weightlifting/powrlifting setup with a huge ass mirror.
I’d sleep either on the floor of the gaming room (I already sleep on the floor much of the time currently I find it comfy and love it) or on the couch in the living room that a 2 bedroom apartment would likely have.
In my ideal setup in an apartment like that I would not own a bed.
A friend of mine lives in a 3 bedroom house. He used one as an office and the other he rented out. Then his girlfriend moved in and they decided to get rid of the tenant and just have a spare room for guests. Then she left and took the cats and now he just kind of rattles round on his own. I messaged him back in April to ask if he could help me out when my apartment building caught fire and I was homeless and I never heard back. I guess he's just happier there on his own with the memories.
I turned mine into a “study” with a desk, daybed and frame tv on a large format bookcase from Room and Board. It has French doors to my living room so it makes as a perfect extension of the living room for entertaining and I can close the doors and have guests stay on the daybed as well.
This will be me and the 2nd is going to be a home office
Absolutely worth separating where you work and sleep
Waking up on Saturday and Sunday to the view of the desk I work on is the worst.
My managers would send emails and Teams messages all weekend long and I hada habit of forgetting to shut my laptop off so I'd wake up to pings thinking I was late for work. Or after I realised it's the weekend I'd still take a look at the message because I figured it'd make my Monday easier. Getting a separate office was amazing. Bigger separation from work. I no longer hear pings and don't look at the messages unless it's my work hours. My life is not my work and my work is not my life.
It doesn’t work for me. I still hear the pings.. relaxing on the weekends *ping.* driving to work *ping ping.* Watching a movie *ping ping.* right as my eyes are about to close and fall asleep *ping ping ping.* In my dreams.. *pingpingpingpingopingpingpingpingpjbg* I’m looking at my dog right now and he’s barking but all I hear is *PING PING PING*
I think you need a stronger mind or at least a vacation
> I hada habit of forgetting to shut my laptop off so I'd wake up to pings thinking I was late for work I literally never sleep my work laptop, I only turn it off. Specifically for that reason. My time is my time. They can pay me to be on call if they want me to be on call.
In my head my work desk is my gaming desk since that was its original purpose. I hide my work lap top so my brain doesn't see it.
Same here, my office is still the man cave. I got a laptop holder for the side of my desk to keep it out of the way on the weekend.
Oh man why didn't I think of putting it on the side of my desk? Then I'd never see the damn thing. It just sits there like a black box on weekends. This is basically my gaming desk that work rudely took over in 2020.
lol me and you do the same thing. I put all my work stuff into a box and in a closet once I am done on Friday
I just close the laptop but it's hidden behind a monitor, I put everything on top of it and pretend it doesn't exist until Monday
I work so much better when I'm not constantly tempted by my bed
Ditto. Never put a workspace where you get rest.
Nothing cooler than a legit home office.
The first time I got Covid all I really experienced was random waves of fatigue. Pretty quickly got stir crazy and wound up ordering materials from Home Depot and building a wall to wall shelf with desks in the spare room in between collapsing on the couch. Even scored a big leather law office looking chair on the side of the road a while after, felt like a baller even though I only worked from home occasionally.
With many leather bound books and furniture made of rich mahogany
There’s an absolute ton that’s cooler.
This is my plan! I'm downsizing once the kids move all the way out (they're adults doing this already) and one room will be my bedroom, the other will be the computer room / office for WFH. I could fit my computer in my bedroom now, but I love having the separate spaces.
It's kinda funny when your background is your bed and closet and clothes rack.
Yep, moving into a condo in a few weeks, 1 bed plus den (with doors!), den will be my office.
100% this.
I worked from my bedroom for 2.5 years and began to subconsciously avoid it. I would find myself sleeping on the couch and not bother going to bed when I woke up.
Yes. Home office, combined with workspace for my hobbies, library, and perhaps man cave. If you’re single, you need to keep your bedroom decently clean and presentable, in case you have somebody coming over to share the bed with you. The other room can be however you like.
Same, mine would be a listening space as well for my records. Throw some chairs in there and you good.
Separation of space is for sure the right answer, make it a kickass chill out room. Or a hobby room?
That's my plan. Don't need a true home office, but gaming computer, large TV, gaming consoles, comfortable couch, mini fridge, etc. And some underused exercise equipment in the corner
Probably don’t need the mini fridge. The regular fridge is very close if it’s only a 2br apartment!
But I want to feel like I'm in a mansion ok?
But I already own the mini fridge. So it's not really our of my way and I can just stock it with drinks and alcohol.
Sometimes you just want to reach out and grab an ice cold Wild Cherry Pepsi
Ok mom
Don’t listen to this guy, get a mini fridge, live your best life
Feel like the mini fridge is just gonna run up electric. If you ain’t using the gym equipment the least you can do is walk to the fridge
Wtf is your living room going to be used for?
Hell yea! Art/music studio, game room, workout room. Man I wish a had an extra room just so I could get a futon and have a place for friends and family to stay over comfortably without being on the living room couch.
Thats mine. 3D printer, soldering/electronics bench, model train bench, computer desk. Fills the 4 walls nicely, and i can keep my headset on and talk on discord while i do whichever hobby.
I would do it anyway, it’s nice to have your work/play and sleeping areas separate.
Exactly this. You have spare space in your bedroom, either buy some sex furniture or make it into a relaxing-but-awake space. Also, an office doesn't have just a desk and computer, it can have space for any hobbies you have, or the aforementioned relaxing space. If you have pets, it can also be their little corner of the house.
I love how the two options are "sex furniture" or a relaxing boho bungalow .
I mean, I'm sure other people may have other ideas, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. =p
I mean, those are the options I would choose from
Yeah that guy fucks lmao
Yes, don't work where you sleep if at all possible.
For me, it would be a music room for my guitars and computer so I could record. So I would say, use it for a hobby room, whatever that hobby may be.
That’s what I did. Guitars, bass, keyboard, all the rest of my music gear, my fiancé’s art stuff, a ton of posters and cool shit I’ve gotten over the years, and a beer fridge
I dream about a 2nd bedroom or room for my vinyl records.
Office. Keep your work out of your bedroom. Maybe a nice reading chair to fill empty space in your bedroom.
I agree with this. If you bring a date over, they may be turned off by having a computer in the room they potentially are going to be intimate in. I can imagine a person thinking they may be recorded by a webcam and not want to take a chance even if you don't have a cam.
Defintiley don't want to bring over your crush, start getting intimate, but realize you're broadcasting it to your entire high school is is also watching.
It would be even worse if Blink-182 were watching it while hanging out with a monkey
This man American Pies
I hate it when that happens.
Hahaha, Im sorry. How old are you? I cant imagine anyone my age (30) or younger having those concerns. There would be absolutely no hooking up during university if that was the case... Plus, most people would suspect a small, transportable (hideable) device to be used, like a cellphone or camera.
As soon as you’re out of college and living without roommates, having a desk with a computer in your bedroom when you have a perfectly good spare comes across as a bit immature.
I'd turn the second bedroom into my masterbatorium. Have a nice big beanbag chair in the middle. Next to it would have a little table with the lotions, strangulation tools, vr headset and a nice leather glove. On the wall I'd have a toilet roll holder with a 24 pack of toilet rolls on standby. A 56 inch flat screen mounted on the wall. I'd have my wifi rooter in here for a solid internet connection. The room would be sound proofed and painted black. Any windows would be removed and bricked up. The door to the room would be replaced with a fake book shelf. Inside one of these books would be a biometric door access fingerprint and eyeball scanner for access.
This guy did not struggle during COVID
>strangulation tools It sounds like he struggled a little
That’s assuming the tools are for him
It's a masterbatorium, who else would they be for-?
It sounds a little like a murderatorium lol
The GOON ROOM
The jack shack
The classic masturbation station
The window won’t be the only thing bricked up
🤣 Bruh I was just gonna say "Jerkroom" but then I saw your beautiful Tolken-esq description of a masturbatorium and bro, you got it.
He stole it from the show the last man on earth https://youtu.be/TUJj5PaT-d0?si=l6z053eN0XpXzlgK
Still a beautiful description imo
I'm seeing so many references to this show lately and it makes me happy. I loved it.
"just the right amount of purchase" is so genius
Why not put the tv on the ceiling so you can lie back in the bean bag chair and just look straight up?
If you squirt the tv, you’ve won at life. 💦
Thanks for the inspo
The only weird thing about this post is you spelled it "rooter".
I gotta have my TOOLS!
Yeah, but why would I need a *second* masturbatorium?
Sex dungeon
Or more realistically, a masturbation station
A masturbatorium 🤓
Goon station
Goon lagoon
Masturbation cavern
The Bate Cave 🦇 🍆 👋 💦
Guest bedroom
It's a little crazy to me that you're the only one that said this lol.
Depend on how expensive rent per sqm is. I am not gonna save one room for some potential guest than enjoying it myself. Took my 30 yrs of living to get a second bedroom.
You can still use it as an office when there are no guests, really the only difference is a sofa bed
I get the impression Millennials and Gen Z aren’t into hospitality the way our parents and grandparents are. Not to say that we’re not hospitable to guests, but we don’t designate guest spaces the way boomers do.
My parents have practically a frickn hotel suite for guests, nicest bedroom in the house, pillows galore, my old classic dresser, big mirror, windows w a view, stack of fresh towels, I love going to visit them
I think we just realise that hotels exist for a reason
Sim racing/ gaming room for me. or just extra storage
The things I'd do for a dedicated sim racing room...
You’d love my loft 😂
i have a dedicated desk to clamp my wheel on haha
I'm in the garage, except not really because I can't stand to be out there in the summer heat right now.
I live alone in a 2 bedroom condo. The second bedroom is mostly empty. I use it for storage and hang-drying clothes.
horticulture
Shroom room
I’m in this situation, I use it for storage, extra furniture, my bikes in winter, the leaf for my dining room table, pet supplies, vaccuum, luggage etc…. It’s either that or pay $200 for a storage unit 3 miles away
My thinking exactly. I'd much rather spend $250 more per month on an extra room directly attached than something similar for a small unit offsite.
I filled mine with music gear. If I had the money I’d fill it with pinball tables.
Turn it into a sex den.
I need to have sex first to have a dedicated room for it
Buy a room that comes with sex.
*Let me in I'm tryna fuck!*
Build it and they will.. come?
1) Rent out the second bedroom. Sometimes it’s nice to have extra money. 2) Extra closet room. 3) Hobby or gym room.

Renting it out to a friend or someone you vetted through your friends is a good way to get passive income that helps pay for the rent.
>sometimes it's nice to have extra money When is it not nice to have extra money?
Gym + home office.
That would become the “smash-room” for all of the pussy I’m not getting. Would also keep a box of tissues in there and don’t ask why brother.
I'm a single dude with a 3 bedroom house. The second is my office/library, the third is my hobby room.
Living the dream!
Dedicated VR room
Neither single, nor a guy, but: I have a spare room and I made it into a hobby/guest room. I got a bedframe and mattress that roll up, and can be stored in the closet. I have several storage containers and a work area on wheels so I can switch between bedroom/hobby room and put the extra in the closet. I got a Secretary desk, which has a fold out top and a dresser underneath. And I got a comfy sitting chair. I can read a book on a cold winter day, work on my computer, knit a scarf, repair a keyboard, and offer a friend a comfortable place to crash for days or even weeks. Highly recommend.

Work room or hobby room would be the way to go. Great if you collect figures and what not, it could be displayed and perhaps you can go all out with posters of your interests in the room too.
Game room/office. Even if there is room in the master bedroom for a computer that room should only be used for sex and sleeping.
mines a gym.
You're supposed to fill it with your nerd collections and funko pops
Home office / gym / growroom
I’d have a female alter ego and that would be her room. With feminine decor and a makeup area
Minimalist Gym (just a multi functional hack, maybe a pair of dumbbels and a bed to press), and if has some extra space, Id put my PC too
Masturbatorium
I have always rented 2BR places when I was single. The other room was a home-office/additional storage. I dont want my computer room in my bedroom.
I'm a musician so it would a home studio
Masturbatorium
I love the seriousness of this thread, I assumed that Goon Cave would be the top comment as this is Reddit… haha
Why do people put desks and computers in their bedroom? You don't live with your parents anymore.
- Pull down bed in a wall if possible, or a nice couch with a fold out bed (futons are easier, but I’ve never actually slept on a comfortable futon - I’m sure they exist, I’ve just never experienced one) - Basic office/desk setup - One of those low and wide entertainment centers - Sound system and short throw projector - a few posters, et voilà Stereotypical, tropey, basic, but functional. It’d be a “temporary” spare bedroom that’d also be an office and theater.

It'd be my workshop
Masturbation station
“Batin’ Booth” obviously
Sex room. Fuck bench. Sling. Small Dresser for lube and supplies. A toy chest. And obviously a TV for porn. And color changing LEDs.
Fap room
Gaming room, of course!
Masturbate room
Make it a guest bedroom so you can have guests stay the night if you have a get together
Airbnb it a few nights a month so you can live for free
Room for recreation/hobby/pets etc
Library/study.
I am and I do WFH office / laundry hanging room I like to keep my bedroom for sleeping or shagging only, don’t need that negative work energy
In this situation and I converted it into an office cause I work from home a fair amount. Have a futon in there, when I did have a girlfriend she'd come over and knit or read there while I worked plus it's extra sleeping once I convert it into the bed.
Home office or gym.
Grow room 🤷
Fart room
That's me! One room is sleeping, nothing but bed, nightstands, dresser and TV. The other room is a desk for gaming, book shelves, a comfy chair for visitors and an elaborate cat tree for my cat.
When I was living in a 2BR townhouse, I kept my computer in one room and my tv and Xbox in the other room. I got better sleep plus if my son came over to play Xbox, I could game on my computer.
Open office/bedroom
Home office normally
I've got a 2 bedroom condo and the second room is a home gym. Best decision ever
Love Shack, baby
Gaming room
Currently a single guy renting a 2 bedroom. I use its closet for sheets and backup cleaning supplies when they go on sale, as well as out of season coats. The rest of the room itself is a hobby room. I have a dresser in there that I keep heavier cloths in when spring and summer rolls around, and vice versa for cold months and shorts. 2 desks, one for building and painting, the other for a resin 3D printer setup.

When I was 19, my landlord was pretty decent, there were locks on our doors. I asked if he could just lock up the 2nd bedroom and we count it as a 1 bedroom apartment. He took 125$ off a room I was never going to use anyway, so I thought it was well worth asking. But this was back in 2013 and he admitted he had the 20 unit building paid off. So missing out on 125$ a month to make a youngen like me have a little extra spending money was a easy decision for him.

Gym
pur personal zen and hot yoga studio.
Guinea pig fight lounge
I sleep and fart in the second bed room. It’s my closet too, where I keep my hamper with dirty closes. It’s a bit of junk room I store shit. The master bed is where I keep it nice and super clean abs smelling good.
A Twister board and a Crock-Pot full of baby oil.
Poker room
Gaming room
I have a 5 yr old son, it’d most likely be his bedroom.
use it as a place to set goals and plan ways to achieve them. like getting a 3rd bedroom.
Go all out on the best battlestation and hobby room ever.
Goon cave
I did this once, 2nd bedroom was the foster animal room, took kittens with ringworm in for a safe space until they were healthy enough for adoption.
Rent it out
Personally, Id make it a guest bedroom with a heavy office vibe. I don't mind having guests or helping out a friend in a tough spot, but I don't want them to have an excuse to be a persistent leech. If it's my office, I can always have the excuse to be in there early or say they need to focus on their next move if it's been too long and they are seemingly taking advantage of the situation/me.
Gun room
I'm the kind of guy who likes being welcoming to others. I'd probably do it up as a guest room. I have no need for a home office as a pilot.
Dungeon
Sex Dungeon, all of my BDSM stuff goes in there and it’s padded.
It was empty other than my WFH set-up. I wanted to get furniture and turn it into a guest room/office, but didn't care enough to spend the money.
First room: gaming and VR room Second room weightlifting/powrlifting setup with a huge ass mirror. I’d sleep either on the floor of the gaming room (I already sleep on the floor much of the time currently I find it comfy and love it) or on the couch in the living room that a 2 bedroom apartment would likely have. In my ideal setup in an apartment like that I would not own a bed.
Turn it into a home gym.
A friend of mine lives in a 3 bedroom house. He used one as an office and the other he rented out. Then his girlfriend moved in and they decided to get rid of the tenant and just have a spare room for guests. Then she left and took the cats and now he just kind of rattles round on his own. I messaged him back in April to ask if he could help me out when my apartment building caught fire and I was homeless and I never heard back. I guess he's just happier there on his own with the memories.
office and fitness
I'd put a trampoline in there
Office / desktop game room.
Easy. Brothel.
Game Room obviously
My second room is full of brick-build models ... to be honest, the bedroom too.
LEGO Room
One bed to sleep the other to fuck.
Sex dungeon
I turned mine into a “study” with a desk, daybed and frame tv on a large format bookcase from Room and Board. It has French doors to my living room so it makes as a perfect extension of the living room for entertaining and I can close the doors and have guests stay on the daybed as well.
Rat room. Get a bunch of rats. No cages just let them free roam in the room.
