Converting your shed from somewhere that’s simply used for storage to a fun new outdoor room is one of the most popular trends right now. People are clearing out their old bikes and garden tools to make way for a cool new place in which they’ll enjoy spending time. In this post, we’re going to look at some shed conversion ideas for family use. Keep reading if you think that your shed could do with an upgrade.

Kids playroom

Our first idea for a shed conversion is to turn it into a playroom for your children. Give your shed a clean or invest in a nice, new steel building from Armstrong Steel (you can find all you need to know about estimate costs in the linked article) and ask your kids how they want it to be decorated. Get them to choose the toys that they’d like to keep in the playroom and add a toy chest so that you can keep it tidy. Make sure to put down comfortable flooring to ensure that they don’t hurt themselves when they’re playing.

Home cinema

Another great idea for converting your shed is to turn it into a home cinema. All you need to do is invest in a projector and create a white wall on to which you can project your favourite. Scatter some blankets and cushions and you and your kids can spend time together watching movies in your back garden. Make sure to add a snack bar for added effect.

Art studio

If you or your children fancy a bit of art and crafts every now and then, why not turn your shed into an outdoor art studio? You can add some easels, store your paint on shelves on the walls and get to creating some masterpieces. Your kids will love having a place that they can get messy and make some amazing paintings. This way, you won’t have to worry about getting art materials all over your furniture and carpets. Art is important in a child’s development so make sure to include it in their home life.

Quiet room

For those parents who feel they need a place of quiet and calm, you could convert your shed into a quiet room. This can be your meditation space and you can fill it with excellent mood lighting, candles and soft music. You could make it an adults only space or you could encourage your children to spend some quiet time in this room when they need it.

Homework room

Our final idea for a shed conversion is to turn it into a homework room that can be used by all members of the family. All you need to do is get some good lighting and a few desks and soon you’ll have a fun space for your kids to get their homework done. Homework is boring but having a dedicated space to do it in can turn it into an activity rather than a chore. Make sure to try this out and get creative with your shed!
