A garden room is a standalone or attached structure that extends your usable living space into your garden. Unlike a conservatory or orangery, it’s a fully functional additional room — at one with your outdoor environment, but comfortable enough to enjoy in any season.
A garden room naturally incorporates your outside space with your inside space, giving you the best of both worlds and an additional room you can use all year round.Install bifold doors that concertina all the way back and your garden room can become at one with the garden — and with the unpredictability of the British weather, you’ll be grateful your garden building can transform from summer outdoor room to winter hygge with the simple pull of a handle.
The real beauty of a garden room is its flexibility. Popular uses include:
Add a touch of luxury to your property with a bespoke garden room — from additional living space to working space, our structures can be made to fit your exact requirements.
There are hundreds of uses for external structures from offices to living space, below are some popular uses:
A generic external room which can be used as a place to relax, get out of the house, somewhere to unwind in the evening or as aplace of relexation.
Work from home? It’s a common fact that working from home can make it hard to unwind. Having a structure seperate from your house will keep the office life out of your home life. This is one of the most popular uses for the structure and offers fantastic thermal and security properties. Our garden offices can be made fully secure and with excellent thermal properties to maximise heat retention.
Garden studios are popular for photographers or hobbyists who need a place to enjoy the hobby outside of the home. Popular with those who enjoy astronomy, arts and crafts, woodwork and much more.
A garden lodge is the equivalent of another bedroom with the added luxury of being a stand alone structure offering complete privacy.
A garden pod tends to be smaller than conventional garden rooms, a pod is fantastic if you are looking for a small hobby room or place to escape too.
Glass rooms are exactly that, a minimal hardwood frame with glass walls and roofing. Glass rooms are beautiful, bright and offer lots of opportunities for living space.
If you just want somewhere nice to store additional living items, tools or other items a garden storage room is perfect.

A garden room is a great way to extend your living space. It naturally incorporates your outside space with your inside space, giving you the best of both worlds, and an additional room to your property that you can use all year round.
And no, a garden room isn’t a conservatory or an orangery. A garden room can be attached to your house or standalone in the garden, the key here is garden – your garden room is in the garden.
And our garden rooms are beautifully bespoke, hand crafted buildings that will provide you with a luxurious outside space that will give you an additional functional room that you can use however you see fit.
Install bifold doors that concertina all the way back and your garden room can literally become at one with the garden. And with the unpredictability of the British weather, you’ll be grateful that your garden building can transform from summer outdoor room to winter hygge with the simple pull of a handle.
There are so many uses for a garden room that it makes the brain boggle just considering them all: as an outdoor playroom for your kids, as a sunroom for when the sun’s up but the air temperature isn’t, or as a home office.
And while these are all great ideas, sometimes you just want a statement room that is purely you. So why not use your garden room as:
– Your hobby room. A garden room is the perfect place to build your model train set in. Or lay out your war reenactment. You’ll be safe in your own hobby room away from little fingers and ‘helpful’ suggestions.
– As a studio to get creative in. It makes a wonderfully light room for painting. For writing. For crafting. Bring your knitting needles, install a comfy chair and click the afternoon away. A soundproofed garden room can provide you with the stillness that you crave to get on with what you love doing, away from the hustle and bustle of family life, surrounded by your beautiful garden.
– To set up a new business in. Do you love cooking? Why not build in a kitchen? Set up a little workshop with a sewing machine? Or simply install the internet and run a new e-commerce venture. With your very own dedicated office, this garden room will give you the space, privacy and freedom to start your own money making venture.
– To work out in. If you love exercising but don’t want to have to go to the gym to do it, why not build your own gym in your new garden room? Workout surrounded by nature in a private space where you can bend, stretch, jazzercise or pound the treadmill to your heart’s content. Hang mirrors, plumb in a bathroom, set up a sauna or invest in a hot tub for chilling afterwards.
– A room for your friends. Build a bar, install a pool table, hang a dartboard, set up a card table for poker night. Buy an old arcade game or fill a cupboard with board games. Treat your garden room like your very own social club and have fun with it.
– A spare room. Install a bathroom, pop in some kitchen essentials and you could make your garden room earn its keep by renting it out on Airbnb. Or it could be a spare room for when friends come and stay, or if you’re in the dog house, or for when your kids want to fly the nest but can’t afford to leave Chateau de Parents.
– Your library. When you’ve got more books than you know what to do with, why not build your own little reading room in the bottom of the garden?
How you intend to use your garden room will dictate the practicalities of your garden room, by which we mean, if you intend to use your space in the summer months only, then do you really need to have it insulated? But if you want to use it all year round, it will likely need electricity, heating, ventilation and probably lighting too. And if you’re working in it, you’ll need a wifi connection.
There are other things you’ll need to consider too when you connect your garden room to your main house:
– To connect your garden room to mains electricity you’ll need a Part P registered electrician as you’ll need a certificate stating that their work meets the current regulations.
– If you’re going to install a shower or a tap, you’ll need a plumber to install a fresh water pipe, and a waste water pipe, to and from your garden room and your house.
And to turn your garden room into the luxurious retreat that you know it can be, is as simple as adding a comfy chair, a few throw cushions and a rug, or going all out and building in storage, installing power sockets and lighting.
You’ll probably want your garden room to reflect the of from the rest of your house, but remember, this is going to be an outdoors room, so it’ll need to be a little more robust.
For example:
– The floor you choose will need to withstand you constantly coming in from a wet garden.
– You may need to hang curtains or shutters as the building will be south facing (to get the most sunlight) and you’ll welcome some shade on particularly hot days.
– The room may get damp from the cold air in winter, so unless it’s well insulated, don’t leave anything valuable in there.
– Furnishings should probably be washable – it’s an outside room, and outside can be dirty, especially if small children are involved.
Have you considered installing a log burner as a way to heat the room?
