bonus room

Flexible home addition

A bonus room is an extra room in a house without a designated purpose—not a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or formal living space.

Typically found above garages or in converted attic spaces, bonus rooms become whatever the household needs: playroom, home office, media room, or guest quarters.

We turned the bonus room into a home gym.

The term appears primarily in real estate listings and floor plans.
