Guest room
An extra room in the house may certainly be helpful as a guest room. When having friends or in-laws come to stay it may be helpful for them to have their own space and privacy.

Perhaps your needs are more in the area of extra space at home to work from. An at home office could easily be created in this space. Moving in a desk, chair and a filing cabinet could provide the furniture you need. Adding some pot plants and paintings for atmosphere would allow you to move away from the ‘home’ space into a new environment for affective working time.
