HOME + GARDEN
“ Garden rooms are considered an extension of the home and rather conveniently another space to decorate in your own personal style . Working perfectly as an additional seating area , a garden room provides an ideal place to sit back and relax while enjoying views into the garden .”
Sarah & Sally Wilkie , founders , Home Barn space ( a particularly attractive option for artists or photographers ), making a glamorous games room , or if you ’ re converting your garden shed , a home gym or yoga studio ; escape the main house and breathe in the fresh air .
IF ALL ELSE FAILS , BUILD A PERGOLA
If you don ’ t have the outdoor space for a garden room , but you ’ re still looking for something that merges the space between the outside and the in , you might just need to start thinking about a pergola . These open , magnificent structures will feel like a garden room without being enclosed . Great for the summer months , in particular hosting summer parties . They ’ re also great for growing climbing plants and don ’ t stop the garden from getting the sunshine .
