Zoopla surveyed homeowners across the UK to understand how the nation's room requirements shifted - and how our homes changed as a result.
Among those who changed their homes, more than half (53%) said they completely repurposed at least one bedroom, while one in five households (22%) said they changed multiple bedrooms.
Nationally, this equates to a whopping 8,856,000 bedrooms have been lost amongst the UK's 24m privately owned homes during the pandemic.
With remote and hybrid working now set to be a mainstay for many, almost half (46%) of those who have made changes have created a home office. That means more than 4.5m home offices have emerged across the UK, and over half of homeowners (58%) say they plan to permanently keep them.
Alongside home offices, there are plenty of other ways Brits have reincarnated rooms in their homes since March 2020.Acoss the UK:
1.3m home gyms have been created
984,000 home bars
900,000 home cinemas or music rooms
688,000 dedicated classrooms
