How to Create the Garden Room of Your Dreams

When it comes to working on your home, there will often be many interior design projects that you have your eye on. If you’re someone who loves to scroll through Pinterest or Instagram, you may constantly be inspired by different trends and ideas that you see popping up. However, there’s only so much time you have in a day to get things done. This means that you need to prioritise the spaces you want to work on and that will bring the most joy into your life. One of the best ideas here is working on creating a garden room. Utilising some of your outside space to create a new living area is more popular than ever, so why not get in on it? If you’d love to add more space to your home, bringing in a garden room can do that for you. Here’s how to get started.

1. Choose Your Design

To get started, you need to make sure that you know what you want to create, so begin by looking for inspiration and seeing what sort of garden rooms are available. You need to have a clear idea of the design you’d like, including any external composite cladding you want to add. At this stage, you can also decide between getting something prefabricated or building your own structure.

2. Get Planning Underway

Depending on the project you have in mind, the size of the structure, and the overall design, you may find that you need to get planning permission. This won’t apply to every garden room, however. So, you may want to keep under the size requirements to avoid going through the planning process.

3. Brave the Construction Process

When you’re all ready to go, the next phase is construction. Now we all know how stressful construction in the home can be. Living in a building site is never fun. However, whether you decide to build this yourself or you have a team come in and do it, you should find that there will be minimal disruption. With it taking place in the garden, hopefully, it’ll be out of your way anyway.

4. Bring in Your Style and Flair

When the main structure is complete and the utilities are in, you can then take over. This is the part where you get to bring in your own personal style and flair. Whether you want to create a home office, a chill-out den, a bar, or anything else, make sure that you dress it well. This is what will really set things off and make it the room of your dreams.

5. Settle into the Space

Finally, all that’s left to do is for you to settle into the space. Now this is always the fun part. As you start to use the space for whatever you have intended it for, you might start to find some teething issues or things you want to change. But that’s all part of the process. Here, you might like to bring in more comforting items, soft furniture, and anything that makes the space feel like your own. This will truly bring the space to life.
