“Bonus” Room

Fratantoni Luxury Estates • October 20, 2023

“Bonus” Room Concept:

“Bonus” room, a concept often not featured or talked about, but one we are luxury home builders want to focus on this month! Bonus rooms are rooms that are technically not bedrooms. Our focus for this blog is rooms such as game rooms, home theaters, home gyms, art rooms, etc. Bonus rooms are one trend that although often not covered, is not going away anytime soon! In fact, they are becoming more popular because who doesn’t like a space that is both fun and relaxing, but also serves purpose and function?

 

Home Gyms:

 

At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, our custom homes are curated and intentionally designed to match our client’s lifestyles. Sometimes this means a bonus room can be a home gym, as seen below in the Modern Estate. Our client brought their passion for fitness to their home.

Art Rooms:

Functionality and purpose are two important aspects of a home! No one likes space going to waste. This is why often we see the combination of two bonus rooms. A multipurpose room combines the best of both worlds all in one. Such as a movie theater and game room. Nothing is better than reclining seats, endless access to snacks, and the ability to pause the program whenever you want! Or play pool, foosball, and Pac-Man while having a video game tournament on the big screen. Other multipurpose concepts include an art room and a music room, an in-home bar, an entertainment center, and a game room, as seen below in the French Luxury estate.

In luxury custom homes, architectural details define the experience of the space. Among the most impactful of these details are statement ceilings. Often referred to as the fifth wall, ceilings play a critical role in elevating a home from beautiful to exceptional. For discerning homeowners, the difference lies not only in the design itself, but in the builder’s ability to execute it flawlessly.  At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, statement ceilings and architectural detailing are approached as integral elements of the home’s overall design, not decorative afterthoughts. These features require early planning, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of construction at the highest level.
