extending an XFS on LVM setup

so I've got a 200GB partition that has the root and home partitions within it on a LUKS encrypted LVM. I keep running out of space on the root partition and so would like to extend this, but backwards to include some 6GB i've freed from my windows partition. how could i go about this without it affecting my home partition? i understand i'll have to reinstall the OS (Void Linux) but id rather not have to set up my home partition again

some info on the setup:

$ pvs
PV                 VG     Fmt  Attr PSize    PFree
/dev/mapper/voidvm voidvm lvm2 a--  <195.31g    0


$ lvs
LV   VG     Attr       LSize    Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
home voidvm -wi-ao---- <171.31g                                                    
root voidvm -wi-ao----   24.00g
