Garden rooms, also called garden offices, studios, or outbuildings are a must-have for home design enthusiasts. A garden room is the best way to make the most of your outdoor space and add value to your property. From cosy home offices to children’s playrooms, garden rooms can be used in a multitude of ways.
What are garden rooms made from?
Typically, garden rooms are constructed from treated or tanalised timber to protect against rot, insects, and the elements. They are fitted with double glazed windows and insulated to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. They often feature durable and long lasting roof coverings to prevent leaks.
Garden rooms can also be connected to the mains electrical supply to become fully functional rooms with a range of uses.
What can garden rooms be used for?
There’s no limit to what you can use your garden room for. As home offices they’re a great way to create a workspace separate from your home or they’re perfect for additional leisure spaces.
Some of our favourite uses for a garden room include;
- Home bar or pub
- Home office
- Playroom for the kids
- Yoga or fitness studio
- Home gym
- Crafts room
- Games room
- Home cinema
What’s the difference between a garden room and a conservatory
A conservatory is usually attached to the house, becoming an extension of the main building. However, a garden room stands separate from the main residence and can be placed wherever you like.
If you want a garden room for relaxing and soaking up the sun, then you can build it where you’ll get the most sunlight. Or if you want a garden room that doubles as a home office, you might want to place it a bit closer to your home so you can connect to the wifi.
Conservatories are also minimally constructed with larger windows to allow for more light. However, a garden room is built as an independent structure, including a long lasting roof, thicker insulated walls and sturdy doors.
How much do garden rooms cost?
Garden rooms are relatively cheap to build when compared to full home extensions. The full cost will depend on the size of the garden room and the materials used to build it. At Noah Garden Rooms, our garden rooms typically start from £6,000.00.
We also offer flexible finance options starting from £1000 all the way up to £2.5 million over variable periods.
