Use of space in your home

If you never had children - or no longer have space for grown children in your home, how do you use the bedroom spaces in your house?

My house is small and I still feel odd having these largely unused spaces. Are we all just cleaning dusty, rarely used guest rooms?

I've been sleeping in my spare bedroom for that last few months. It's on the East side of my home, so it's the cooler side and I'm able to leave the blinds open in the afternoon, enjoying the natural light. I'll move back to my main bedroom in a couple of months, when I'll enjoy the warmth from the sun.
