Potting soil, gardening tools, the lawn mower and bicycles: the garden shed is often only used as a practical storage space. But honestly, the arbor is actually much too good for that. Comfortably furnished, it could serve as a second living room and would offer a completely new view of the garden from the terrace. Simply use the house as:
With the right insulation, a garden shed can even be used in winter
- Fitness studio on your own doorstep.
- Personal retreat where you can indulge in your hobby.
- Chic party room.
The arbor as a home gym
It doesn't matter whether you practice yoga or keep fit on the treadmill: A fitness room in your own home should be more than equipment placed carelessly in the corner of the bedroom. So what could be more obvious than using the garden shed (€24.90) for this?
- Create an inviting atmosphere with freshly painted walls in appealing tones and a pleasant floor covering.
- Decorate the walls with photos related to your favorite sport.
- If you love ballet or gymnastics, integrate a large mirror into the room.
- Provide adequate lighting.
Quiet oasis and hobby room
Do you like to sew, do handicrafts or paint in your free time and do you find it annoying to have to dig out and put away the utensils you need for these hobbies every time? Then simply use your garden house as a hobby room:
- Windows fitted later ensure good light, which is important for many activities.
- Integrate a beautiful wooden floor during the renovation and re-glaze the sanded walls.
- A cupboard that matches the ambience of the room provides storage space.
- A work table, a comfortable chair and well-positioned lamps create a pleasant atmosphere.
- If there is no power connection in the arbor, have an electrician install a power supply during the conversion.
A party room in the garden house
There is no better place to barbecue, sit and celebrate in summer than in front of and in the garden house. You can even easily integrate a bar into an arbor that is not too small. With a little skill, you can do the interior design yourself; you can find the corresponding construction plans on the Internet. Comfortable armchairs and a low table in one corner create the right atmosphere. A rustic beer tent table with benches or a modern garden table with lots of chairs complete the party equipment.
tips
Some conversion measures require a subsequent building permit from your municipality. As a rule, however, this does not represent an obstacle to the conversion.
