Life is as busy as ever. 

And with more people turning their house into an office, it can be tough to kick back and relax — even in your own home. 

So, if you have the extra space, why not turn it into a home rec room? 

Here are 5 different ways you can take a basement, a living room or a spare bedroom and convert it into a home rec room: 

Game room 

If you’re looking for a space to send the kids, or to escape for a friendly game of pool, then turn that spare space into a game room. 

You could add a pool table or shuffleboard, an area for video games or a table for board games or poker games. 

Home gym with sauna 

It’s become increasingly popular to workout right at home. So make the space work for you. 

Create a designated space for your weights, your treadmill, or your yoga mat. 

If you want to take your health, wellness and relaxation to the next level: Add a sauna. Shop infrared saunas or traditional saunas at the guaranteed lowest price in the USA. 

Home bar

Sit back and relax with a post-work cocktail, or invite your friends over for happy hour. 

With a few barstools and simple bar accessories, like shakers and drinkware, you’ll be ready to serve up like a bartending pro.

Home theater

Whether your family loves movie marathons or you just love a good TV binge, create the ultimate cozy viewing space. 

The key is comfortable seating. 

Home theater seating gives every adult or kid their own seat, with the option to kick their feet up and get comfortable. Shop home theater seating at the guaranteed lowest price in the USA.

If you really want to level up: Bring the concession stand home with a popcorn machine or a home bar for cocktails. 

Family lounge

Perhaps you don’t have a main living room, or maybe you do but it’s a more formal space. 

Create a casual, comfy space for your family to lounge or for your kids to hang out with their friends. 

Shop sectionals and sofas at the guaranteed lowest price in the USA
