Eventually, kids move out of their parents’ house and embark on their own adventures. After that, parents must decide what to do with their childrens’ bedrooms. If you’re not sure about the next step, here are some tips to help you decide. 

If your kids are in college, keep their rooms intact.

If your kids have left for university, they’ll probably be traveling back and forth often. Because of this, you may want to keep their bedroom furniture and personal items until they graduate. If you want to transition their rooms into guest bedrooms/offices, you can easily take out personal items and put them into storage. 

If your kids have moved into their first apartments, it’s time to take the next step.

Once your kids have signed a lease on their first apartments, it’s probably time to clear out their bedrooms at home. You can either offer their furniture to them, or you can keep the room as-is to smoothly transition it into a guest bedroom. If you plan on repurposing the room for something totally different, like an exercise room, consider placing the furniture into a storage unit. 

You’re converting the room into something else.
Like we just mentioned, it’s very common to turn an older child’s bedroom into a different room entirely after they leave home permanently. Home offices, craft rooms, exercise rooms, and other rooms to emphasize various hobbies are popular ideas. Once your kids are living an independent life, it’s reasonable to do what you wish with the space and put their bedroom furniture and items into storage.
