Do you have a spare room?

Just that really.. due DC2 soon which means we won't have a spare room. I feel really short on space now as we had an ottoman bed in there, my dressing table and all sorts which has now had to be condensed into our bedroom. All my make up which has gone from being drawers full is now just a box tucked in my wardrobe and all the coats etc that were under spare bed have been given away Sad

No, 5 bedrooms, all full. Planning a loft conversion to increase to 6 beds. 5 kids will have a room each.

No. Teeny tiny flat. Massive clear outs required constantly.

Yes I'm supposed to be sorting it out but so far have done precisely nothing apart from buy new curtains and storage. That's the trouble when you don't need to use it it doesn't become a priority.

We have a spare room, we use it as exactly that, so it doesn’t have any of our things in. If you can’t keep make up and coats in your bedroom your bedroom must either be very small or you have far too much stuff.

We have 3 ‘spare rooms’. Only one is always guest ready. One is a dumping ground (bed in there somewhere) and the other is used as a chill out room but has a futon so we do occasionally use it for guests.

Dumping room is about to be decorated so we will have a clear out.

Only one child left at home hence the space.

No, our bedroom is large, it is just an odd shape with nowhere to fit a wardrobe. We have one chest of drawers that we share despite it being a long room as we have nowehere to stand additional drawers/wardrobes. Our house is very old, with beams, sloping ceilings, a huge chimneybreast and a random step.

I have a spare room that I use as my office/library/gaming room. There's a big double day bed in there that guests can use if I'm really short on space when people come to stay.
