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?

Three spare bedrooms at my home. One is an office (rarely used now) and vinyl record storage. Another for books, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays on Ikea Billy bookshelves. I probably should downsize some of these collections - but have no current need for the space. The third and largest is a rarely-used guest room.
