Blurring the lines between outdoors and indoors – a garden room gives you the best of both worlds. The best designed garden rooms should feel like a natural expansion of your house, giving you the freedom and space you desire without the hefty price tag of an extension.
Once you’ve found your ideal garden room and installed it, it’s time to get creative! Decorating and personalising your garden room is all part of the fun. Here are four of our top tips on how to create a garden room that really suits your style.
Create pathway to your garden room
One of the most basic and yet effective design choices you’ll make for your garden room is the pathway leading to it. You don’t want to be traipsing through mud and wet grass to get to your garden room if the weather is bad! A nicely laid brick or gravel path helps to protect your lawn and gives you a mud-free walkway between your home and the garden room.
Designing the pathway to match the rest of your garden will also help the room blend in with its surroundings. A garden room shouldn’t overpower the rest of the garden, instead it should be a subtle part of the whole design.
Bring the outdoors indoors with plants
Fully immerse yourself in your surroundings by bringing potted plants and flowers inside. A garden room allows you to embrace the outdoors while staying warm, dry and comfortable. From trailing plants to delicate flowers, you can design your own garden retreat.
We love hardy indoor plants that don’t require a lot of upkeep for our garden rooms. Some of our favourites include succulents, aloe vera, and snake plants.
Match your garden room decor to the rest of your home
Many people want their garden rooms to feel like a natural extension of their home. An easy way to connect the two is by matching the interior decor and furnishings, so you feel as if you’re in the same space when you move between them. You can achieve this by matching colours, soft furnishings, and flooring to keep the style flowing between your home and your garden room.
Create a theme for your garden room
Always wanted a games room, home gym, or man cave but never had the space? Well now, you can create the hideaway you’ve always dreamed of with your own outdoor garden room. There’s no limit to what you can create with your garden room, all you need is your imagination!
Garden rooms provide the space you need to create a themed room for any purpose. They can even be turned into garden pubs with the right equipment.
So, now we’ve given you some ideas, how will you decorate your garden room?
