For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Reading room\/Library + crafts room: Assuming that you want your reading room to be peaceful and quiet, you might not be able to combine it with a crafts room, which will come with a certain amount of noise and chaos.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Office\/playroom: It\u2019ll be hard to focus if your office doubles up as your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/photos\/space\/kids-room\">kids\u2019 playroom<\/a> &#8211; plus you don\u2019t want your kids to accidentally get their hands on or destroy your important documents and gadgets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure there are no potential clashes when you\u2019re thinking through the different uses of the room, before you move on to the next step!<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Define Your Zones<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you\u2019re clear on what your multi-purpose room is going to be used for, the next thing you\u2019ll want to do is to define your zones, and demarcate your space.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=&#8221;17698&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; frame=&#8221;noframe&#8221; caption_pos=&#8221;below&#8221; remove_rounded=&#8221;yes&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;no&#8221; overflow_mode=&#8221;none&#8221; link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; lightbox=&#8221;no&#8221; intro_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;200&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;]\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\">678C Punggol Drive ($10,000) by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/interior-designers\/kontrast-design\">Kontrast Design<\/a><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[\/spb_image] [spb_text_block animation=&#8221;none&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; simplified_controls=&#8221;yes&#8221; custom_css_percentage=&#8221;no&#8221; padding_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_horizontal=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_css=&#8221;margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;&#8221; border_size=&#8221;0&#8243; border_styling_global=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;]\n<p>The idea is to create a zone for each of the functions. This way, you have everything you need within that one zone &#8211; your materials\/supplies\/utensils aren\u2019t spread out within the room.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips on how to do this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Think about how much time you\u2019ll spend in each zone, and allocate space accordingly. Say you\u2019re building out a laundry room + workspace, and you foresee that you\u2019ll only use the room to work 30% of the time. In this case, it doesn\u2019t make sense allocating 50% of the space to a work zone. You\u2019ll get more utility out of the laundry zone, so go ahead and allocate more space to that.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Start with the largest zone first, and fit smaller zones around it. This makes it easier for you to plan, and decide where everything goes.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Consider how people will move through the space, and make sure there\u2019s plenty of room for traffic to flow.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Explore different ways to divide up your space visually. Obviously, you can do this by switching up your wall colour or having different floor tiles in different zones. But that aside, there are also quick and easy ways of demarcating different zones, such as using room dividers and rugs. You can even use furniture to do this &#8211; for example, if you place a bookcase and a large couch back to back and facing away from each other, this can help segregate your space into a entertainment\/play area vs a reading area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 3: Identify What Items Of Furniture You Need In The Room<\/h2>\n<p>After you\u2019ve defined the zones of your room, the next step is to pick out furniture.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=&#8221;17699&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; frame=&#8221;noframe&#8221; caption_pos=&#8221;below&#8221; remove_rounded=&#8221;yes&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;no&#8221; overflow_mode=&#8221;none&#8221; link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; lightbox=&#8221;no&#8221; intro_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;200&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;]\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\">Tapestry ($72,000) by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/interior-designers\/mr-shopper-studio\">Mr Shopper Studio<br \/>\n<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/spb_image] [spb_text_block animation=&#8221;none&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; simplified_controls=&#8221;yes&#8221; custom_css_percentage=&#8221;no&#8221; padding_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_horizontal=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_css=&#8221;margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;&#8221; border_size=&#8221;0&#8243; border_styling_global=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;]\n<p>This is fairly straightforward &#8211; depending on the usage of the room, think of what essential pieces of furniture you\u2019ll need. For example, if you\u2019re building out an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/photos\/space\/home-office\">office<\/a> + guest room, you\u2019ll need a desk, office chair and a bed at the very least.<\/p>\n<p>The point of doing this is to figure out what\u2019s your bare minimum, and from there, calculate how much space each item will take, so that you can plan a layout that allows for maximum functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Can you introduce additional pieces of furniture, on top of the bare minimum? Of course you can &#8211; but it\u2019s always easier to start with less, then add more. You don\u2019t want to buy a ton of furniture and home decor at the start, then realise that you\u2019ve overcrowded the room.<\/p>\n<h3>What type of furniture should you use in multi-purpose rooms?<\/h3>\n<p>When purchasing furniture for multi-purpose rooms, think about pieces that help you maximise storage, so that you can make the most out of your space. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Fold-away desks<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Extendable tables<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Wall beds that can disappear into your wall<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/photos\/feature\/sofa-beds\">Sofa beds<\/a> that can double up as a guest bed<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Corner shelves or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/photos\/feature\/storage-cabinets\">storage units<\/a> (these carve more space out of under-utilised spots)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Ottoman cubes that can act as seating or footrests, but also have storage built-in<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One last tip &#8211; for anyone who needs more space, your walls are your best friend!<\/p>\n<p>Walls aren\u2019t just for hanging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/photos\/feature\/artwork\">art<\/a> &#8211; you can mount a bicycle on your walls, hang a fold-down table, and even install a hanging pot rack where you can house all your pots and pans. By making use of your walls, you\u2019ll be able to free up your floors, giving your room more breathing space.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4: Plan For Lighting<\/h2>\n<p>When redecorating a space, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/photos\/feature\/lighting\">lighting<\/a> is often an afterthought. But with multi-purpose rooms, it\u2019s important to plan out your light fixtures, to ensure that you have proper lighting for your activities.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=&#8221;17700&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; frame=&#8221;noframe&#8221; caption_pos=&#8221;below&#8221; remove_rounded=&#8221;yes&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;no&#8221; overflow_mode=&#8221;none&#8221; link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; lightbox=&#8221;no&#8221; intro_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;200&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;]\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\">Ocean Drive, Singapore ($200,000) by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/interior-designers\/weiken-com-design-pte-ltd\">Weiken.com Design Pte Ltd<br \/>\n<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/spb_image] [spb_text_block animation=&#8221;none&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; simplified_controls=&#8221;yes&#8221; custom_css_percentage=&#8221;no&#8221; padding_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_horizontal=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_css=&#8221;margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;&#8221; border_size=&#8221;0&#8243; border_styling_global=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;]\n<p>Generally speaking, multi-purpose rooms should have all three types of lighting in place:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Accent lighting: lights that direct attention to a certain area, for example: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/photos\/feature\/track-lights\">track lights<\/a> that are directed towards your artwork or display cabinets<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Task lighting: lights that enhance visibility for specific tasks to be carried out, for example: floor lights to provide light for reading, under-cabinet lights to provide light for kitchen prep work<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Ambient lighting: lights that are used to illuminate the whole room, for example: recessed lights, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometrust.sg\/photos\/feature\/pendant-light\">pendant lights<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When planning your lights, start with ambient lighting, then add task lighting and accent lighting based on what your multi-purpose room will be used for.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: Fill In The Gaps<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have your essential furniture and lighting in place, all that\u2019s left to do is fill in the gaps!<\/p>\n<p>Bring in other furniture and decor pieces to make the room more cozy, give your room a test-drive, and then adjust based on your preferences.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all there is to it &#8211; you\u2019ve now successfully designed and created your very own multi-purpose room!<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_divider type=&#8221;thin&#8221; text=&#8221;Go to top&#8221; top_margin=&#8221;0px&#8221; bottom_margin=&#8221;30px&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;no&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;] [spb_text_block animation=&#8221;none&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; simplified_controls=&#8221;yes&#8221; custom_css_percentage=&#8221;no&#8221; padding_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_horizontal=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_css=&#8221;margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;&#8221; border_size=&#8221;0&#8243; border_styling_global=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;]\n<p>Want to check out home renovation projects for more inspiration?
