INSPIRATION

At 17 Garden Rooms, we offer a bespoke service that ensures we are able to maximise the space in your garden by offering a more cost-effective and efficient product than what is currently on the market.

The latest data provided by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) shows that timber is now more than 64% more expensive than it was at the start of 2021. In October alone, the price of some imported timber has jumped up over 23%! Therefore, using our cold rolled steel FRAMECAD system, we are able to construct our garden offices in less time, at a reduced cost and with better building performance.

Garden rooms are becoming an increasingly popular addition to homes across the UK and it’s easy to understand why. Unlike traditional extensions, they do not require any planning permission and can be built in a short amount of time. Not only that, their construction won’t disrupt your day-to-day life.

For many homeowners, a garden room is a perfect solution because it is a stress-free and affordable way to create a space of their dreams. They can be built for a large number of uses, some of which you may not have considered.

 

Here is our list of top uses for your new garden room:

GARDEN ROOMS FOR SMALL GARDENS

When it comes to small gardens, most people believe little can be done with the space they have. Unless you are willing to invest time and energy into creating a small, but beautiful, floral haven, you may be left wondering if a garden is worth having.

Instead of having a cramped and lifeless outdoor space, why not create a room that can bring you joy and endless possibilities whatever the season?

GARDEN ROOMS FOR ENTERTAINING

What better way to entertain guests than in a modern, cosy and customised garden room? A recreational space is not just great for having friends over, but also as a multi-functional area for all members of the family.

A garden room is ideal if you want to somewhere separate from the home that adults can spend time with friends without being disturbed by children. Equally, you may find teenagers appreciate the appeal of a garden room to chill out with their friends while benefitting from privacy and distance from their parents. Mum and Dad will approve too because they know their children are safe while at the same time enjoying independence. Not only that, with insulated panels and soundproofing available with every design, the inhabitants can be as loud as they want without you having to worry about the neighbours complaining!

GARDEN ROOMS FOR GYMS

Lots of us crave more time to exercise, but finding the motivation to drag yourself to the gym after a long day at work can feel a near-impossible task. A home gym in your garden room could be an ideal solution while keeping you fit and healthy all year round.

Not only would it allow you to work out in the privacy of your own home, nor would you have to wait for a machine to become available. You’ll never have an excuse not to work out again if your training space is literally on your doorstep.

GARDEN ROOMS FOR LIVING

A living or lounge space, where you can rest and relax after a long day at work or over the weekend, is another way to enjoy a garden room. They can be built with a range of heating and lighting solutions that help you to create a space to unwind exactly as you like.

Add comfy chairs, a sofa and a television for a homely feel you can enjoy alone or with friends and family. With high-quality insulation as standard, you can be assured your garden room will always feel warm and cosy even in the winter!

GARDEN ROOMS FOR OFFICES

Creating an office space is one of the most popular uses for a garden room. It guarantees peace and quiet while you attempt to get everything done on your list.

For those that work from home, it creates a physical separation between your home and professional life while at the same time eliminating costs related to a commute or renting business premises. When you calculate outgoings to cover those expenses, a garden room office may pay for itself in no time.

GARDEN ROOMS FOR GUESTS

We all love having friends and family visit, whether it’s during the holidays or just for a catch-up. However, if you only have limited space then they can often end up sleeping on the sofa. That is far from ideal, which is why investing in a garden room that doubles as a guest room is worth considering.

You can be involved in designing it, deciding on whether a small kitchen, toilet or shower is appropriate. It removes the pressure on space in the house while providing those staying over with privacy should they need it – no awkward meetings en route to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

The garden room’s high-quality insulation also guarantees guests will stay warm in winter. When there are no guests, you can even make some extra cash by renting it out on Airbnb.
