Do members of your family like to sing, dance or act? Consider home improvements by developing a “bonus room” with a stage.
When planning home improvements a lot of families will go practical – thinking of the best, but most conservative and minimalist improvement to increase the value of your home. What if you indulged a little bit? Do members of your family like to sing, dance or act? Consider home improvements by developing a “bonus room” with a stage. Especially if you like entertaining, a stage can benefit you. Here are some other great benefits of having a built-in stage in your home.
Have a Little Whimsy
The point of a bonus room is supposed to be unique and fun; don’t make your stage too plain in this room. You can add whimsy to the room by having colorful walls, paintings or set pieces on stage. Keep it light, airy, and artsy so your family feels free to let loose.
Home Theater
A great bonus room idea that utilizes a stage is a home movie theater. Consider adding a large screen behind the stage that can stay hidden behind some curtains until it’s time for summer movie nights. Not only will you have an excellent stage, you can also have a versatile room for more than just the theatrics.
Music Stage
If you or your children have a dream of performing music, a stage can be a great way to help them practice. Make sure the room has good acoustics and plug in their guitar or set up their drums and allow them the opportunity to feel what it is like on stage.
Take Advantage of High Ceilings
If your bonus room has high ceilings, try elevating your stage. By building it up on both sides you can create a storage space below for props and sets. This brings a more authentic theater experience to your home.
Stages in Other Rooms
While a bonus room dedicated for theater and music is always fun, you can utilize stages in other rooms of your house that improve it. Stages in the nursery or playroom can be particularly fun for children when it comes to puppet shows and other things. Building a stage for your bed to sit on can offer storage space underneath and be an interesting addition to any bedroom. The possibilities are almost endless, and if you dream it, you can build it!
