41. Dedicating One Room To Hobbies
Year of Popularity: 1980s-Present
Est. Cost: Varies
This one counts as a “specific custom.” We
all have different hobbies. Some of us like to paint, while others collect board
games or stamps. Dedicating one room to a specific hobby is a great idea, if
you’re not planning to sell your house. If you are, then that could hurt your
home’s resale value.

An art studio won’t add as much as a bedroom. The reason why is simple: not everyone is interested in art. Your passion for painting won’t magically be transferred to the home buyer when they purchase the house. Keep rooms neutral to optimize your resale profit.
