That space may be as close as the next room, particularly if there is unused or under utilized areas in your home. A garage, attic, side porch, large closet, or basement can all be converted to fit the use you have in mind.

This concept of “stealing” space from a neighboring room is called space reconfiguration and it is much cheaper than a major remodeling job.
