Nobody Puts Shed in the Corner!
B
ut now sheds are becoming a
stylish centrepiece and garden
focal point, so many people are
turning to bespoke creations. With
a bespoke service, the options are endless
and gardeners are given a unique creation
that truly reflects their own style and
personality. The Posh Shed Company and
award winning garden designer, Claudia
de Yong, explain how sheds are now being
used as real style statements.
“Gone are the days where the humble
garden shed is hidden from view in the
far corner of a garden, perhaps under a
tree, in total darkness. With a renewed
interest in making our gardens part of our
extended living space, this once unloved
humble utilitarian little building is being
transformed and given a new lease of life,”
said Claudia.
She continued: “More often than not, a
garden shed these days will not simpl y
be used for storing seeds, potting
compost and garden tools. Instead, it
takes pride of place, as a home office,
reading room, playroom, craft room, guest
room, or summerhouse, and is often
now commandeered by the female of
the house rather than being kept as the
sanctuary of the male!”
“Indeed, a garden shed now plays a more
meaningful role and has become one of
the main focal points in a garden, taking
pride of place. Garden sheds are often
furnished beautifully inside and painted
in lovely soft muted colours on the
outside to blend with plants, furniture or
even raised beds. The range of outdoor
paint shades available means that you can
now make your shed even more appealing
within the garden where it has become
as a piece of outdoor furniture, in its own
right.”
Richard Frost, CEO of The Posh Shed
Company, explained how this is reflected
in the creation of a Posh Shed: “We work
with leading paint brands to offer our
customers a full spectrum of options and
colours to reflect their personal taste.
Our sheds are a real talking point so our
customers, quite rightly, insist on the
very best in style! From pastel colours
and neutral tones to be in keeping with
the natural landscapes, to bright and
bold pallets to complement the more
flamboyant gardener – we've got it
covered!”
