You have a child that is off exploring the world, or heading off to college, and you’re wondering what to do with that space? Treat yourself to a room that you can call your own, where you can get away from it all and enjoy a little quiet time. Here are five ways to decorate your new kid-free space:

- Create a craft/sewing room
If you are a DIY queen but have no space to create your masterpieces, use the empty room to give you the space you need!

- Library/Reading Room
Turn your space into a posh reading room to go curl up with a nice book or to just wind down by perusing through the latest fashion magazines.

- Dressing room
Every woman wants more closet space so why not make that dream a reality by turning your empty room into a full walk-in closet? A couple of shelves from IKEA and bookcases against the wall and instantly you have your home clothing boutique.

- Meditation room
One of the biggest trends today is meditation and yoga so why not hop on the trend bandwagon and turn your space into a meditation room. This will allow you the space to find your inner peace before taking on the world.

- Bohemian style guest room
Are you a secret lover of the boho-style? Try turning the empty room into a bohemian-themed guest room. This way your kid still has a place to lay their head when they come back home to visit, only it will be way cooler than they left it!
