Exploring the Different Types of Garden Rooms for Your Outdoor Space

What would you do if you had a bit more space at home? Perhaps a bit of extra living space, in your garden, that stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Far enough away from the main house to be a bit of an escape, but close enough for it still to be a part of your home. We’re talking, of course, about garden rooms.

There are many different garden room types, and everybody reading this blog will have a slightly different plan about what they would do with theirs. So we’re going to run through some of the most popular garden room ideas, to provide you with some inspiration – let’s make the most of that extra space.

Garden Room Office

A Garden Office is a great way to make the most of some space in your garden. With more of us working from home these days, having a designated area for you to crack on with your work brings with it a whole host of benefits.

First of all, by moving your office into a bespoke garden room, you are freeing up some space in your house. That dining room or spare room that you’ve been using as a makeshift office can return to its former glory! No more scraps of paper, notebooks and computer equipment clogging up your home – it all has its own space.

Moving your work to outside the house can have a huge benefit to your mentality as well. Getting the ideal work/life balance is so much easier when your office is out of the house, plus when you are in the office, you are free from distractions which give your productivity a welcome boost!

Garden Room Bar

Most of us, at some point, will have dreamt of running our own garden bar. With a garden room, we have the opportunity to make that dream a reality!

It doesn’t have to be a ‘Man Cave’ (although it could…), we were thinking more of an extension to your outdoor entertaining space – there’s your barbecue, your patio furniture, but a proper, fully kitted out bar gives you that real WOW factor. Large garden rooms and small garden rooms can be made into a fantastic bar for your home.

You could pop in a TV screen to show sports, maybe a dart board, get some retro signs and other décor – whatever you fancy to make it a special place where you can host your friends and family.

Garden Guest Room

As your family grows, you’re going to need more space. Perhaps those children that loved sharing a bunk bed when they were little, now need a bit more space to themselves. An extra bedroom in your home could be the perfect solution.

A Guest House in your garden will give them the freedom to maximise the potential of your home every day – rather than having one room that only gets used when people come to stay. Meanwhile, you have the perfect sleeping quarters for your guests in a garden building – perfect conditions all year round. More space in your home, and a lovely little room for you guests to stay in.

With so many different potential garden room designs, you can create the perfect little guest house that people will be excited to stay in.

Garden Gym

Manyof the buildings that we make for our customers become garden gyms. More and more people are using their garden space to work out in, and it’s easy to see why…

What is the biggest obstacle most people face when they join a gym? It’s getting that motivation to get up off the sofa, get in the car, drive through traffic, find a parking spot, and then do their workout. A lot of the time, and so many of us are guilty of this, we just think that it’s not worth the bother.

So when you have a ready-to-use gym right there at home, you are much more likely to use it. You are much more likely to work out for longer, and you are much more likely to get into the shape that you want to get in.

You don’t need a large garden room for a gym – just a bit of space for a few pieces of equipment, which could fit in even a relatively small garden.

Garden Games Room

Are you a gamer? Do you love bar sports like pool or darts? Or do you love board games and puzzles? If so, how much joy could your own garden games room give you? A separate space for you to devote to enjoying games with your friends.

That’s what one of our bespoke garden rooms can give you – a special place which you can decorate in your own style, purely devoted to fun.

Garden Room Studio

We’ve covered garden offices, but another excellent use of garden rooms is as a studio. Many people offer services from their home, such as physios, massage therapists and acupuncturists – and it’s often beneficial to have a new building for them to host clients – outside of their home. Not only does this save their indoor space, but it creates a more professional atmosphere.

Then there are creative pursuits – artists, musicians and dancers could all benefit from garden rooms that are specifically designed for them to hone their skills. A garden room could be a yoga studio – utilise bi-fold doors to generate plenty of natural light for a wonderful and relaxing vibe.
