A place for time-out

HELP! I need recommendations for ap place for time out. We do also use time-ins at times which is always in the room I am in. But when I have a tantrumming 4, 5 or 7 year old (kicking, hitting, screaming) I need them to calm down somewhere. We somtimes use thet bathroom (only because when we first got the kids every time they were in timeout they somehow how to go potty, so we just put them where the potty was) Bedrooms don't work because they end up playing. When we need to, we do sit there and hold them (if they won't stay or are hitting themselves). The hallway does not work, our house is too small for that. Any one have any suggestions or ideas.
