Home bars and garden bars soared in popularity during lockdown. With pubs and bars being closed and nowhere to drive to, a lot of the country turned their hand to bartending. All that practise is soon to pay off ready for summer celebrations! Whether just for your household, with an intimate group, or a large gathering (when the time is right) - a garden bar summer house is sure to be a massive hit and the envy of all your neighbours.

2) Cinema Room

Cinema rooms are something that many of us dreamt of when moving into our first homes. Making space for fun at home is so important, and a garden cinema room is a great idea for your summer house that's fun for all the family! Grab a projector, a screen, some popcorn and away you go.

3) Reading Room

Reading rooms are a classic use for summer houses. There's something romantic about the thought of curling up with a good book in your secret garden reading den. Escaping the hustle and bustle of home and making some time to read is great for your wellbeing - especially with peace, quiet and gorgeous views.

4) Games Room

Having the space inside the home for games equipment isn't often likely, with rooms already taken up with their intended purposes (living rooms, dining rooms, studies etc.) So creating a new space in the garden offers all the opportunity to create a unique, fun and exciting games room! For good measure, add a bar in there too and no doubt this will be the most used room in the house (out of the house).

5) Hot Tub Room

Hot tubs and spas are great for your overall wellbeing and fantastic fun to have at home. Having a hot tub and an adjacent summer house is an instant staycation solution! If you shut your eyes you could imagine you are almost anywhere.
