When it comes to garden buildings, using the space as a shed or even storage area is the first thing that strikes your mind. But thanks to quality construction, use of insulated walls, roofs, etc. and also home-like comforts, these buildings can be used for a variety of purposes. Being adjacent to your home, it is like a separate space that provides you with privacy and yet proximity. So here are some fun and unique uses for this extra space-
Gym
If you are one of those people who really like working out but there is not enough room in the house, then how about converting your garden building into a gym. It is as good as having a home-gym because it is right there in your garden. Plus a benefit here is that you are not really occupying or wasting space. When not needed, the gym equipment can be shifted to the side or folded up, which again gives you enough space to use the building for other purposes. You can use the space for even conducting or hosting yoga, pilates or similar classes, which in turn would give you some extra money.
Playhouse
Another cool and innovative way to use garden building area would be to use it as a playhouse for your kids. Having a play area dedicated to kids inside the house is quite difficult, but a section that merges into the outdoors would be a great way to keep the kids engaged. This way you can keep the messy toys and games to the outer part of the house. In fact, if the building permits there can also be a small pool and changing area here so that the kids can enjoy playing out all year round.
Recreational area
Now, your recreational area can be almost anything that you want. It could be a home-theater or entertainment unit that you can set up here. This way, you can shift the den out of the house. Here you can host parties that go on late in the night without disturbing others. If your kids have exams or you don't really want to host the party indoors, this is a great option. You can use the garden building for entertaining friends during coffee-meets, holding small meetings and conferences or even just for any other recreational purpose. Some ways to use the area here are-
- Games room - You can have your play station, snooker table or any other kind of game here. Put on some great music and keep a small countertop for your food needs and you are sorted.
- Mini-Diner - Entertaining guests for drinks? How about converting this space into a mini-bar or diner. You can have some peppy and quirky decor here to add to the aesthetic appeal.
- Home-spa- A small Jacuzzi along with a fitted pool area or even massage table is another sensible use of this area.
