Flex rooms are a fantastic addition to newly built homes, especially at Taylor Morrison. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or looking to retire and find your forever home, a flex room is a great space to explore your passions or enhance the functionality of your home. 

What is a Flex Room?

Read on! Here’s ten flex room ideas that are sure to level up your new home. 

Most Common Uses 

Below are five of the most common ideas for your flex room. You can’t go wrong with any of these functional inspirations.

Playroom or Study Room 

Are your kids full of energy? Create a bright and happy playroom they’re sure to love. Set up a craft table, pile blocks and Legos into bins, create a stuffed animal tea party, the list goes on!  

If you’re looking for something more studious, make your flex room a study room. Stock your space with healthy snacks, water, pens, highlighters, calculators, and more to stay focused.

Media Room 

This one’s for all the movie enthusiasts out there—invest in some blackout curtains and comfortable couches for the ultimate movie or media room. Hang movie posters on the walls for a fun twist, and if you’re holding on to old DVDs, display them on shelves near your entertainment center—the perfect media room decorations. 

Guest Room 

Transforming your flex room into a guest room is sure to save you many headaches when friends and family visit! Keep it simple and minimalistic, or let your creativity soar and decorate to your heart’s content.

Creating an exercise room is a fantastic way to stay in shape. Forget driving to the gym—simply head to your flex room and lift away!
