1. Year-Round-Summerhouse

Your garden needn't be reserved for use in summer! With a fully insulated garden room from Green Retreats, you can make the most of your garden all-year-round. Constructed using the same methods and materials used in modern house building, a Green Retreats garden room as a summerhouse alternative is as comfortable as a room inside your home no matter what the weather outside. Heating is included too!

2. Garden Pod

A garden pod is typically a small garden building that's cleverly furnished to make the most of compact space. The modern and simplistic scandi-inspired exterior styling of the Green Retreats garden buildings make for a clean and contemporary garden pod design. Perfect as a secret retreat from home to tuck away at the end of the garden.

3. Garden Office

Garden offices have been the hero garden room use during the pandemic. With most of the country encouraged to work from home, making space to focus on work and create a work-life balance seemed an impossible task. A garden room offered a solution to both! Creating space away from the distractions of home, as well as being able to close the door at the end of the day to properly switch off.

4. Garden Bar

With nowhere to drive to and pubs and restaurants closing, another popular home improvement this year has been the home bar or garden bar. Green Retreats' customers have created some incredible garden room transformations, creating garden pubs and even a 'gin palace'!

"The idea of having a garden outbuilding as separate entertaining/relaxing space grew on me. Also, the fact that we work from home means that we could feel like we are in another space, a place to escape." - Allan

5. Make space for fun!

Staying at home more has meant getting creative with ways to keep entertained. Garden rooms have allowed people to create spaces at home that they've always dreamt of! Games rooms, cinemas, man caves and she-sheds have been some of the most exciting garden room transformations of the past year. Whether they're adults only or fun for all the family, making space to have fun at home has never been more relevant.

6. Double up with storage

Not only are garden rooms a unique and modern way to add extra space at home, but they're also incredibly practical too.

Green Retreats offer the option to double-up on the use of their buildings with the addition of a subtle storage section. The buildings are fully insulated and secured with insurance grade locking, unlike a typical garden shed, meaning your belongings will be safe.
