This autumn why not turn your wooden garden shed into something a bit different? We’ve come up with 5 ideas of how you can redesign your shed to suit you and your family. These new ideas can become fun projects for you to work on together as a family, and can give you a cosy place to sit during the colder months.
Play House
If you have young children or toddlers, then I’m sure they’d love to have their own garden hideaway to entertain their friends and keep their toys in. Even the smallest sheds can be turned into a children’s wonderland to keep dolls, miniature cars, tea-sets, push-around toys and/or Lego in. All you have to do is to put a few cushions and blankets on the ground to make it comfortable and add a few plastic chairs, and you’ve created the perfect toddlers’ play area. Our Budget Apex Shed is perfect for creating a magical playhouse for your children and can allow them to have their own space to host tea parties and games for all their friends.
Rabbit Hutch
For those of you who are animal lovers, why not turn your shed into a rabbit hutch to keep your small pets warm in the winter months? You can put your rabbit hutch inside the shed to provide them with extra warmth and shelter when they need it. Sheds are great for you as the owner as well because they can allow you to sit inside with your pet, which is especially ideal for young children as it will allow them to build a closer relationship with their rabbits. In order to have enough light and ventilation for your pets it is vital that you choose a shed with windows such as our Lean-to Pent Shed or our Super Apex Shed, both of which will ensure that your companions are kept comfortable.
Garden Hideaway
For men or women who need a break every once in a while this could be a perfect change to make to your shed. You could put chairs, floor cushions or even sofas inside your shed, and even add a heater to keep you cosy in the winter months. For those who enjoy reading, you could install a small wooden bookcase to keep you occupied, and maybe even a mini fridge for cold drinks, wine or beers. Our Tantalised Premier Apex Shed is the perfect size for this and can fit a small sofa in to ensure that you’re always comfy.
Home Office
There’s been a rise in people all over the country working from home, and what better place to work from than your wooden garden shed? Once you have connected all the electrics up to your shed and have set up a computer, you will have your own private space to work. And, when you’re finished you can easily lock up and return back home without the need for any travel at all. To set this up you will need a desk, chair and probably a computer among other things. If you are interested in having an office with a bit more space then our Barn Shed would be ideal.
Craft Room
Those of you that are interested in arts and crafts will love this little change to your shed. By adding a few layers of paint and a desk or chair, you can easily transform your shed into a craft room for you and your children to enjoy throughout winter and summer. This can also be used as a writing space as it can give you some peace and quiet away from the family when necessary. Our Corner Shed is ideal for this and looks gorgeous in any garden setting, and the windows provide lighting and make it feel roomy.
