1. Garden music room

A garden room can make for the perfect studio or music room. It gives you a personal space where the creative juices start flowing. It also positions you outside, away from your family where the rest of them might not be as eager as you to listen to your music. All you need to do is get it soundproofed to keep the neighbours happy and you’re good to go.

2. Garden office

A dedicated work space is critical if you’re lucky enough not to need to travel back and forth to the office every day. Being cramped up in a corner of your dining room isn’t great for your focus or motivation to work. In fact, it may lead to serious procrastination.

If your mind is always wandering while you’re working, a garden office could be what you need. Having your own professional and comfortable space will definitely help you concentrate and inspire you more. Your boss is also likely to fall in love with your new and efficient approach to work.

3. Garden gym

One popular idea is to turn your garden room into a home gym. Home gym equipment quickly takes up a lot of space in a house, which is why you should consider putting it in the garden. You can even install a shower room or sink area so that you don’t have to run back and forth to the main house for anything.

You may even consider installing a TV on the wall to watch while you work out. Also, with a garden gym, you no longer have to worry about expensive gym memberships. In addition, you never have to waste time worrying about how to get to the gym. It can be a few short steps down your garden.

4. Garden bar

The garden bar is one use for a garden room that’s bound to be popular with many people. It’s the perfect addition to your home, especially if you love to entertain guests or you want a quiet space for chilling out in the evening with your loved ones.

A good pub garden is loved by all and if you have one of those out the back, you’ll never have to leave your home to indulge yourself. The garden bar also has the distinct advantage of being able to be used throughout the year, which means that you no longer have to wait until summer before you can begin hosting garden parties.

If you love and plan to throw good garden parties, you should consider adding some soundproofing to the garden bar to avoid disturbing your neighbours.

5. Garden guest room

A garden room makes for the perfect space to use as a guest bedroom. You can build a garden guest room with 1, 2 or even more bedrooms (if you have the space); kitchens, living areas and even en suite shower rooms.

A garden guest room is the best way to give your guests their own private space in which to stay. It’s also an incredibly popular option for using as an annex for a younger or elderly relative. It can give you the peace of mind knowing that they’re close by without having to lessen their independence – keeping everybody happy. If you’re interested you can buy it here.

6. Garden hobby room

The possibilities are virtually endless when it comes to turning your garden room into a hobby room. It can be the perfect space for an avid gamer to immerse him/herself in a different world. The opposite, on the other hand, is a peaceful space for relaxing and curling up with your favourite books.

You can even transform your garden room into a lovely art studio if you have a passion for painting, sculpting or drawing. Alternatively, you can convert it into a private cinema if you love watching movies… without having to pay exorbitant ticket prices.

If you don’t plan to use the hobby room as a quiet space, ensure you install adequate soundproofing so that you can crank up the volume on your home theatre system and really get the most out of your garden room.

I’ve really been drawn to alcove desk spaces of late, they’re such great use of small, awkwardly-shaped spots – and this triangular work space is no exception.

We have a loft that’s partially converted – it even has a Velux window like this one. All we currently use our loft for however is storing boxes of stock for our shop. We’d need an awful lot of rearrangement if we wanted to create a work space as calm and conducive to creativity as this one!

Zoned studio apartmentcredit

This zoned studio apartment is a really liveable space for a young single person or couple. It’s spacious and comfortable with each area delineated with the clever use of furniture and area rugs. The lofty ceiling is put to good use by the suspended pan rack, industrial-style pendant lights and mid-century inspired Flensted mobile.

All the furniture is thoughtfully chosen; an L-shaped sofa which pulls out to form an occasional bed when people are over to stay. The dining table & chairs are compact and beautifully designed and the free-standing kitchen island doubles as a breakfast bar and work surface. The vintage sideboard (or credenza as it would be called in New York where this apartment is located!) is such a flexible piece of furniture; bags of storage for all manner of things and the top is perfect for holding a music system or displaying treasured possessions.
