I live in a 3100 sq ft 4 level home and have no space for my model hobby. Wife has dedicated sewing area, our 2 kids each have a bedroom, have taken over the office as well as the family room and rec rooms. Living room and formal dining room are rarely used but off limits.

Only useable space is a 4 season porch which is relatively (on purpose) unheated in the winter and uncooled in the summers. There is a nice room under the porch but it is finished off as a guest room and full of antique furniture. I have some kits in boxes stored in the closet shelf but that's it. This is actually the most promising space in the entire house but...

I was planning on adding a dedicated 8x17 workshop onto our attached 2 car garage a few years ago but an untimely layoff and subsequent problems replacing my mid mgmt income killed that project. Income has now been replaced but oldest child is starting college this fall.

And our dog thinks he owns the entire house.
