Adding a shed to your garden will give it a lovely building with so many possible uses. The way you utilise this space is completely up to you – and it will determine the size of your shed as well. Whether you want to extend your living space or gain more storage, garden sheds are there to provide ample solutions.
Of all the ideas out there, these three are increasingly popular with homeowners – and we can see why!
Build a luxury summer house
A summer house is a fancy name for a garden shed that’s transformed into a beautiful living space. It’s similar to a conservatory, only most summer houses are made from different types of wood and will be separate from your home. They’re great if you want a patio at the end of your garden – perhaps it gets more of the sun – and will be fantastic places to entertain guests.
Summer houses come in all sorts of designs and sizes, giving you total freedom for how this shed looks. You can even install electrics in it and set up various entertainment areas, like a garden bar, a dart board, etc. A fine choice for those who want to turn their garden into more of an entertainment hub.
Create a peaceful home office
Do you work from home? Are you sick of working at the kitchen table or with an uncomfortable tray on your lap while sitting on the sofa? You need a home office, though you can’t fit one inside your home. Use a garden shed as your home office and you create a peaceful place to work for hours on end.
Again, you can build this home office shed however you like in a wealth of designs. Be sure to include plenty of insulation in the building to avoid worrying during the winter. As long as you can install electricity and get a good internet connection to the home office, it’ll be an absolutely brilliant way to utilise this outdoor building.
Design a DIY den
Garden sheds are highly useful if you love creating DIY projects. Maybe you’re into woodworking or perhaps you like to get involved with craft projects. A shed is the perfect place to set up a DIY den and make a mini workshop.
This can be your peaceful place where you come and work on designs or do simple things like wrapping people’s Christmas presents so they can’t sneak a peek! The artists among you could use this shed to draw on easels and let your creative juices run wild. There’s so much potential in a small space like this – it just depends on how you want to use it.
Other ideas for using a garden shed include the obvious one of making it a storage space for garden or home equipment. Some people may use sheds as pseudo-greenhouses to grow certain fruits or vegetables as well. The opportunities grow the more you think about it – but that just proves this is a great addition to your home.
