9 Ways to Use a Flex Space
These days, homes need to be a little more flexible. Maybe you need a homework space for the kids, or maybe you need a home office (or two!). Many of our floor plans have built-in flex spaces that can be customized to your family’s unique needs. Here are 9 ways to outfit your flex space, featuring the Key Largo II model home by Homes by WestBay.
Home Office
With many employees switching to working virtually, it’s important to have a functional work space at home. Read our tips for an efficient home office here or learn why Waterset makes working from home a breeze.

Playroom & Homework Space
It’s just as important for your kids to play as it is for them to do homework - why not create a space where they can do both? Combine toy storage with a child size table and chairs so your kids can work hard and play hard in the same room.
Library
Are you an avid book reader? Build a library in your flex space with wall-to-wall bookshelves. Add a cozy couch or chaise to curl up on with a good book.
Hobby Room
If you have a creative hobby, turn your flex space into a place to pursue it. Maybe you’re into jewelry making, scrapbooking, or art. Outfit a space that inspires you and lets you create efficiently.
Rec Room
Your home should be your favorite place to have fun and relax - so why not set up a rec room? You could include a pool table, arcade games, or dartboard. Don’t forget the big screen TV!

Bar
Do you love to entertain? Set up an at-home bar or martini room, complete with an area to relax and enjoy.

Music Room
If you’re a music junkie, why not build a room dedicated to your love? Make space for all your instruments - maybe even a piano! If you’re into records, you could set up a record player and display your record collection.

Movie Room
This one is great if you and your family love to watch movies together! You don’t need a full at-home movie theater to set up a great movie room! Why not install a projector and screen in your flex space?
Exercise Studio
Practice your ohm at home with a flex space turned yoga studio, install a multi-use fitness center, or jump on the virtual cycling class craze! If fitness is an important aspect of your life, you deserve a space dedicated to it.
