Good point – open space can be pleasing even if you don’t use it on a regular basis. I also have vaulted ceilings in my living room, which is pretty unnecessary but I love how much bigger it makes the room feel so I don’t mind paying a little extra for it ($10/month specifically compared to a unit with no vaulted ceilings).

Interesting idea to monetize that closet…you’re always hustling man!

Haha I was wondering if someone would mention the harp in the cover photo! Unfortunately I don’t know how to play and have never tried. Glad you enjoyed this post, Lin! 🙂

I think renting out your unused space is an awesome way to monetize your house and use it as an asset. I imagine this is especially profitable in big cities!

It’s true that sometimes open space is simply pleasing even if we don’t actively “use” it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that study.

Most homeowners have an extra room they deem the “guest room” and it basically gets used a handful of times per year. Way more efficient to actually use that space and monetize it.

That closet looks pretty big…put a mattress on the floor and Airbnb it? Monetize your closet?

From the photo, I was very curious how much time you’d reveal playing your harp, Zach! Lol

The thought occurred to me before how most garages end up as storage and no one uses the dining room unless there’s a TV or fridge nearby. We don’t use 75% of ours house so we decided to rent it out. The massive mcmansions are a total waste of literal space. But small homes never have the interior upgrades and amenities that big houses do.

I guess most people assume if you could afford it, you must want to super size it too.
