What is a Den? Anything you want it to be!
What is a Den Anyway?
Most of us think of a den as an extra room typically set apart from the normal bedrooms or living spaces. A definition relating to the home provided by Dictionary.com is: noun; a room, often secluded, in a house or apartment, designed to provide a quiet, comfortable, and informal atmosphere for conversation, reading, writing, etc. Well that is a pretty broad description…and that’s a wonderful thing. Let’s take a look at some of the options available.
Home Office
This often is what comes to mind when people think of a den. Much to what the image above portrays, this may include a prestigious built in desk and work area along with sturdy bookshelves and cabinets. The flooring may be a fine hardwood or even rich carpeting as well as any accent pieces to make your home office distinguished yet comfortable.
Sewing and Craft Room
Do you have your vision of the perfect craft or sewing room? Perhaps it may consist of large tables or desks to allow for material to flow easily as you bring your creations to life. Or even full length mirrors as well as brilliant lighting to make each piece dazzle. And of course let’s not forget the importance of storage and display with strong and secure shelving and beautiful display cabinets to make it a room of utility and grace.
Home Gym
Some of you may be thinking about transforming the den to transform yourself. Don’t let the size of the room fool you, with the proper design and layout this home gym can be a powerhouse. Perfectly placed mirrors to visually expand the room while also providing motivation and drive. Comfortable yet durable flooring for those intense workouts and enhanced space saving storage designs for the storable equipment. Don’t forget the ceiling fans as well as other amenities that will bring the added comfort and encouragement.
Game and Entertainment Room
If your home does not already provide a “game room” perhaps convert that den into a game and entertainment room. For this you may be envisioning beautifully mounted flat screen TVs or projector screens as well as mounted or even flush speakers to offer premier sound for movies or video games. Perhaps there is room for a billiard table to which you would like certain lighting and wall racks in this room. Or your entertainment may consist of escaping with your imagination into a intriguing novel. If that is your desire, your entertainment room may consist of elegant book cases with track lighting along with comfy chairs or couches and lavish rugs or carpeting.
Meditation Room
This may be often overlooked but very well may be exactly what you need. A den remodel to a “meditation room” truly speaks to the definition of a quiet and secluded area in your home. Proper and reverent features of this room provide you with your very own sacred space for meditation, reflection, yoga, prayer or simple silence. Adjustable lighting for the proper mood, along with noise reducing insulation or wall features to help block out disruptions. Plush carpeting along with perfectly accented window features to create the perfect atmosphere.
