1. The ultimate games room

You’ve worked hard and now it’s time to play hard! Building a games room in the garden adds a whole extra level of enjoyment to your home. Whether it’s video games, karaoke, games tables, to pinball machines, table tennis or darts, design your garden room for the entertainment you, your friends and family enjoy the most.

A garden games room will give you hours of fun with friends and family who share your enthusiasm for your favourite leisure activities.

Built separately from your home, a garden games room provides a private space to use as you wish. With additional soundproofing available, you can make as much noise as you want without disturbing your neighbours.

It can provide a quiet and secluded space for you to kick back and relax in and get some much needed alone time, offering an escape from the stresses of work and home life.

Whilst at the same time also enabling you to spend more quality time with your loved ones playing your or their favourite games.

It’s the ultimate in domestic escapism and pure relaxation – strolling into your garden and finding a room there filled with exactly the games and hobbies you enjoy the most.

2. Rock out with a dedicated music studio

A garden room can provide you with a space to play or listen to anything you like, at any volume you like without disturbing the neighbours. Whether you’re looking to create a practise room, install a recording studio, or just enjoy your music collection, we can help you create an effective soundproof garden music room to protect your instruments and equipment, and store your records all year-round

A garden music studio is convenient and cost efficient, providing you with a dedicated space in which to make music, freeing up precious room in your home that would normally be taken up by instruments and other musical equipment. Alternatively, it can save you money on studio rental costs and travel.

Create a garden music room with perfect performance – If you’d like to create the perfect environment in which to play, or record live music, we have the expertise to create buildings with perfect acoustic performance ensuring minimal sound leaks to the outside world.

3. Toast the most with a garden room bar

There’s nothing like enjoying a drink alfresco on a beautiful summers evening, but the unpredictability of the British weather can often have other ideas! A garden bar is a fun and weather-proof way to make the most of your garden and ensure you can still have a drink regardless of the weather, all-year-round.

Having a bar in your garden is a fun and exciting way to enjoy being home and make the most of your garden space. Your bar can be your retreat away from the day to say routine of home and can help you get even more enjoyment from staying home.

From a pub shed, to luxury pool bars, from gin palaces to sports bars use your garden room to create your ideal watering hole.

4. Add an artist’s cabin

Use your new garden studio to inspire you. A garden room art studio can be designed to house all of your essentials tools. So you can always pick up and begin your work exactly where you left it. Rather than clearing away your brushes and easel from the kitchen table in order to prepare it for dinner, you can enjoy a dedicated workspace that serves only to help bring your art projects to life.

Whether you’re building a creative business or pursuing a much-loved pastime, a garden room art studio will inspire you and greatly benefit your work.

The serene environment, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, will allow you to fully focus on your artistic projects. While you paint, sketch, or spin on the potter’s wheel, you can look out at the greenery and the fragrant, blooming flowers and work that natural beauty into your designs.

Interior and exterior lighting are included as standard, making it possible to work in your garden art studio no matter what time your creativity should strike.

A garden room art studio can be designed to house all of your essential tools too. Opt for built-in storage and extended desk space. You can also install a sink, which is perfect for washing off mixing trays if you’re a painter, or wetting clay if you dabble in pottery.

5. Yoga retreat

Create a garden yoga studio to provide a beautiful and serene addition to your home and garden.

Whether you are looking to build a yoga studio just for you, or a space to share with others for your yoga business a garden studio can be your dedicated space for calm and concentration, all in the comfort and practicality of your home garden.

A garden studio will allow you to connect with nature and feel the energy of the elements by embracing the great outdoors. No matter what the Great British weather throws your way, garden yoga studios are designed and constructed for use all year round.

With a yoga studio of your own, an hour session can actually be a complete hour of practice, cutting out the wasted time and money spent on travel or rearranging furniture at home.

Yoga is a great way to unwind and reconnect with yourself. Add in the extra element of peace and privacy with a garden yoga studio, and you’re bound to reach inner peace. Move freely without feeling constricted or with others eyes on you. You’re free to practice your forms and techniques at your leisure. A garden yoga studio is also a great place to practice those more challenging poses without feeling judged.

6. Home gym

Use your garden studio to create a home gym, open all hours for you to workout when the motivation hits. You can create a bespoke space for your preferred workout routine, and will no longer have to wait for equipment to be available – workout privately every time!

Creating your own home gym is life-changing! Gone are the days of commuting to and from the gym after a long day at work, or trying to find the motivation to get into shape as your very own personal gym can be located just a short walk away at the bottom of the garden.

Having a dedicated space, well-designed and thought out can motivate you to hit your fitness goals even more! The private space can take away the pressure of feeling watched that some feel when working out in a traditional gym. However, a garden room home gym takes this away and provides a comfortable environment to learn and get in shape without any pressures and without the membership fee!

7. She shed or man cave

Make a room you actually want in your home! For most of us, since we dreamt of owning our first home we had visions of creating a room that didn’t conform to the rules; and was everything that your parents wouldn’t have allowed in your room growing up. Now the rebellious dreamers are grown up and buying houses, they are creating some ingenious garden room retreat ideas!

This is a fun place, an entertainment room, a dedicated place to unwind and retreat for a stress-free escape from everyday life. You can do as you please in your man cave or she shed.

It may become a den, a hideaway, a place to indulge a hobby, an entertainment space, a place to relax and unwind… the possibilities are extensive!

8. Work-life balance with a home office

Garden offices are by far and away one of the most popular uses of garden rooms, and it makes sense why. Work is work, and home is home – to create a great work-life balance you need to be able to separate the two.

A garden office is a pretty dreamy setup for anyone who works from home. For one, you’re away from the house – and you’re surrounded by nature. Plus, you get to enjoy a 30 second commute that helps to keep work and home life separate. So it comes as no surprise that the garden office or ‘shoffice’ was found to be one of the most valued garden features for homebuyers in 2022.

9. Add storage

Sheds generally are cold, damp and in need of constant TLC. Having storage in the garden is important to help keep things organised both in the garden and in the house.

If you are thinking of having a garden room installed, why not consider sectioning a part of it off to replace the garden shed and create even more space in your garden with a garden room and shed combo? The storage space in your garden building would be insulated and safely lockable too keeping your garden valuables safe.

10. Cinema Room

Garden rooms are incredibly versatile, and can make for the perfect home cinemas or garden cinemas.

Whether you’re a film fanatic, or you just want extra space to get cosy and enjoy your favourite classics – a garden studio could be an ideal place for your movie marathons.

As the garden room is detached from your home you can enjoy the privacy of a home cinema and blast your films as loud as you’d like without disturbing anyone else in the household. It can be a dedicated and convenient space to store all your film paraphernalia. A home cinema also means your space, your rules – you’ll never miss a film again!
