How Else Can You Use a Coworking Space?

The Honest Answer

A coworking space is more than four walls and Wi-Fi. With a little creativity, it can transform into the perfect backdrop for content creation, events, or one-of-a-kind experiences.

Show Your Flex

At Lower Lincoln, our rooms are designed to flex with you. Yes, they’re great for traditional meetings, but they’re also blank canvases for whatever you need next. From photo shoots to podcasting, workshops to pop-ups, here are a few inspiring ways to maximize your coworking space.

  1. A Photo Studio for Your Brand

Need fresh headshots or product photos? Instead of booking a pricey studio, transform a coworking room into your own shoot space. With good lighting, neutral walls, and flexible layouts, you’ve got a clean backdrop ready to go.

  • Pro tip: Bring a few props (plants, branded items, even a coffee cup) to personalize the space.
  • Example: We’ve seen members use conference rooms for styled shoots of their products… everything from handmade goods to professional services.

The result? Affordable, professional-looking content you can use for websites, LinkedIn, or social media.

  1. A Podcast Recording Studio

Podcasts are booming, but not everyone has the luxury of a soundproof home office. Coworking rooms offer an easy and professional alternative. With doors that close, minimal background noise, and room for mics and laptops, you’ve got everything you need to hit record.

  • Pro tip: Bring foam boards or rugs to dampen sound for extra polish.
  • Example: Members have hosted interviews right here at Lower Lincoln, turning a simple room into a mini recording studio.

Podcasting is all about conversation, and what better place to spark ideas than in a creative community?

  1. A Workshop Space

Coworking isn’t just for solo work; it’s also where knowledge gets shared. Use a conference room or suite for small-group workshops, whether it’s professional development, creative skills, or team-building activities.

  • Pro tip: Arrange chairs in a circle instead of rows to make sessions feel more engaging and interactive.
  • Example: We’ve seen rooms used for everything from hands-on training for surgeons to smoothie bar.

It’s a great way to share your expertise, build credibility, and connect with your community.

  1. A Pop-Up Venue

Have a product to launch? A seasonal offering to test? A coworking space can double as a pop-up shop or showcase. With flexible seating and open layouts, it’s easy to create a mini retail or gallery experience.

  • Pro tip: Pair your pop-up with an existing community event or reception for maximum foot traffic.
  • Example: Local makers and entrepreneurs have used coworking venues to display products, host tastings, or debut collections.

Pop-ups are fast, flexible, and affordable, and they get your brand in front of the right people.

  1. A Brainstorming Lab

Sometimes, a meeting is too structured for the kind of creativity you need. By flipping the script—stocking a room with whiteboards, sticky notes, and snacks—you can create a true brainstorming lab.

  • Pro tip: Move furniture around and encourage standing breaks to keep energy up.
  • Example: Teams have used Lower Lincoln’s rooms for off-site innovation sessions, away from the distractions of their day-to-day offices.

A change of scenery can change the way you think.

Final Thought: Your Space, Your Way

The beauty of coworking is flexibility. A room isn’t just a meeting room; it’s a canvas for whatever you need it to be. Whether you’re recording your first podcast, teaching a class, or popping up with a new product, spaces like Lower Lincoln give you the freedom to experiment and grow.
