We’ve already experienced some unseasonably good weather this year, which has meant lots of time being spent in the garden. And one feature that’s popping off in popularity in UK back gardens? The garden room. It looks good and offers so much functionality and flexibility to boost your summer set-up.
A Space That Works Around You
Summer is a time for enjoying nature, being outside and taking things a little bit easier if possible – things like having your breakfast outside, reading a good book in the garden. Garden rooms are great because they help you to comfortably do this. You’ve got a dedicated private space that’s away from your main property that can be an office, study space, gym, or just your own slice of peace.
Garden rooms are great all year round, but they can really come into their own in the summer months. If you’ve got children in the family then it can turn into a space that they can use in the summer holidays.
Entertaining
If you love to entertain then a garden room could complement your outgoing lifestyle perfectly. Think bi-fold doors, soft lighting, and a well-stocked fridge and you can have an inviting natural space that ticks all the boxes.
What’s even better is because we all know how unpredictable the British weather can be, a garden room is ideally positioned as a spontaneous shelter point when the BBQ hasn’t gone to plan!
It offers a space for every age group in your home as well, because if you have teens that are always moaning about a lack of privacy and space – a garden room is an open and fun space to chill, while you can keep an eye on them.
Boosting Your Property’s Appeal
You might not be thinking of selling your property any time soon, but if it’s a possibility in the future, a garden room is a worthwhile investment.
An extra space or something that enhances the attractiveness of your garden can be bonus extras for potential buyers or addressing the priorities of others.
Someone can see a garden room and spot lots of opportunities, and it can be specific to every buyer and age range. A home office, gym, studio, annex, the possibilities are endless and it can push a buyer further towards seeing your property as a home.
Showing people around your property in the spring or summer time allows you to show them the vast potential a garden room offers too. They can visualise how they would use a garden room and see it blooming and at its best.
Holiday Home
When you’re in between holidays or simply not jetting off anywhere this year, your garden room can become your own bit of holiday in your back garden. Turn it into the perfect beach bar (minus the beach!) or place to relax and unwind when life gives you lemons. Hopefully we will enjoy some more sunny days this summer, so making the most of them with a garden room can enhance your summer experience and provides the perfect entertaining and solo space.
Whether it’s for work, play, or winding down, your garden room is your new best friend this summer. For more advice and info about garden rooms, get in touch with us at Bridge Timber today.
