Hobby and Entertainment Room Ideas for Spare Spaces

Hobby rooms work best when the room is designed around the activity first. A gaming room needs cable control and lighting, a cinema snug needs sound and seating, a music room needs acoustic thinking, and a craft room needs storage near the work surface.

Start with the boring but important parts: sockets, shelving, task lighting, ventilation, comfortable seating and a clear floor area.

Once the basics work, use colour, wall panels, display shelves and lamps to give the space personality.
