As much as our homes represent a safe haven unlike any other, at some point we’re bound to feel a little trapped staying in one place for too long.
In the warmer seasons, we may not feel it as much since we can spend all the time we like outdoors. In the colder part of the year, don’t you find yourself in need of a change of scenery?
A lovely garden room can be just that – a wonderful escape all year round.
Now, when it comes to a garden room design and purpose, there are plenty of options.
1. Think Addams Family
Personally, when I hear the words ‘garden room’ my mind instantly goes to Morticia Addams cutting rose buds in hers (The Addams Family, 1992).
That’s why garden rooms made up of wrought iron skeleton and glass, filled with potted plants are an absolute ideal for me. What about you?
2. Unique Design
You can’t tell me this one doesn’t take your breath away!
Such and similarly creative garden room designs are bound to make your garden flourish and become its true accent.
3. Barbie-Approved
A tiny garden room in soft shades of pink, mint and white is by far the sweetest option if you’re looking to add additional space to your garden.
Surround it with flowers in complementary hues to maximize its beauty.
4. Between Blue & Gray
Though the particular gray-bluish color you can see in the above picture is dubbed ‘livid’ – the word which is mostly connected to the negative – designers can’t seem to get enough of it.
As a matter of fact, it adds a particular sort of elegant appeal wherever it’s included, especially when paired with the classical backdrop of brick or a white facade.
5. Between Indoors & Out
Some garden houses are meant to provide no more than a roof and side walls which can protect you against the weather, while others are designed to resemble small houses.
Of course, there’s also the charming middle – the option which combines indoors and outdoors.
6. Part of the House
Depending on the size and landscape of your outdoor area, you might benefit from a garden house located opposite the main residential unit or one that’s built right into it.
7. Highlight of the Garden
Make sure your garden room is surrounded by carefully maintained grass, lush greenery, and flowers to make the most of it.
After all, it exists to maximize the enjoyment you get out of your garden.
8. Create Texture
Even if you’re not about some intricate design when it comes to your garden room, you can still turn it into an outstanding object with the right combination of materials.
The glass and rustic brick combo make for the warmest garden room.
9. Tiny Joy
Don’t think you can’t have yourself a garden room just because there’s not enough land to spare for a house-sized one.
The above one, for instance, is literally the size of a tiny room, yet it fits all the essentials for successfully unwinding after a long day.
10. The Perfect Blend
If you need yourself a true escape and a hiding place when life gets a little too much, design yourself a garden room hidden away in the thicket of your garden.
There’s nothing like the view of lush nature and an hour of relaxing loneliness to help you bounce back.
11. The Classic
The classic garden room enriched with soft colors and elegant texture is never going out of fashion.
12. Elevated
By far, the majority of garden rooms are set on the ground level, though there’s no reason why yours couldn’t be different.
Especially if you have a tiny garden and would rather use it to plant, having your garden room elevated to the second floor may just be the best if not the only choice.
13. A Hint of Japandi
Looking to cultivate a specific aesthetic in the garden house design?
If you wish it to be equal part modern and peaceful, consider having it designed in the Japandi style.
14. Accentuate With Carpentry
To provide your garden room exterior with some dimension, opt for accentuating its design with carpentry.
The easiest way to do this is the color, like in the above picture.
15. Set the Scene
The garden room itself isn’t all to pay attention to. If you really wish to make the most of it, then your themes and decor must be up to date.
Use your garden room as an excuse to go crazy with seasonal decor all year-round.
16. Garden Room of Yore
To create yourself a rustic retreat and a garden room in one, opt for the design which includes rural brick and maybe even a cupola!
17. A Touch of Chic
For those with a more refined taste in architecture, don’t think soapy, cottagecore garden rooms are all there is.
On the contrary, chic garden rooms are quite popular at the moment!
18. Garden(ing) Room
It’s not all about what your garden room looks like. Arguably, the more important question is what you’re going to do with it.
Will you just relax there, will you craft and do art or use it to organize garden parties?
Of course, you could always use your garden room to, well, garden.
19. Summer Kitchen
Many homeowners loathe the idea of using their in-house kitchen, as funny as it sounds. However, it’s understandable.
Especially in the warmer days when additional humidity thanks to cooking steam is the last thing you need, a summer kitchen can be a life-saver.
20. Teaparty?
Use your garden house as the lovelier, more relaxing dining room when you’ve got guests over.
Serve lunch, coffee, or tea, and enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of your garden.
21. Care for a Spare Living Room?
When your living room begins to feel stuffy, and sooner or later it will, it’d be amazing to have somewhere to relocate to while still enjoying the comfort of home.
Make that place your garden room.
22. Bring the Garden Inside
Garden room isn’t a kitchen or a lounge, the same rules don’t apply. This means you get to be as impractical with the design as you like.
Wanna bring in large tree branches and use them as table flowers? Why not?
23. Sun Room
Did you know that vitamin D is absolutely crucial for our health, beauty, and mood?
Many garden rooms are defined by the specific kind of roof that allows the sunlight in, while also providing sufficient UV protection.
24. Art Room
Whatever your craft may be, I am sure you’ve had it with art supplies spread all around your home.
Having a garden room can be of great help and a space for you to comfortably create artistic mess while keeping your actual home squeaky clean.
25. Ideal Solution for Your House Parties
Wanna have a party at your place but not a demolished house?
You could utilize your garden room and organize your celebration there, with a space that feels as welcoming as a home.
In Conclusion
There are so many ways to make the most of your garden room, so if you’re blessed with a garden of your own, make sure to have one made.
It’s a wonderful place to relax, and can also make day-to-day life much easier.
