BEFORE AND AFTER:

AMAZING GARDEN ROOM TRANSFORMATIONS WITH GREEN RETREATS

Green Retreats, the UK’ s leading garden room company, showcases how underused garden spaces can be transformed into stylish, functional rooms with year-round appeal.
Their latest collection of before and after customer projects reveals the true potential of outdoor spaces – from home offices and hobby rooms to relaxing retreats. Each transformation starts with an overlooked area and ends with a modern, insulated building made from sustainable materials, designed to suit any setting.
Project 1: This project showcases how combining a garden room with thoughtful landscaping can make a space feel brand new. Designed as a home gym, the building adds incredible functionality while the surrounding garden design enhances both style and usability— proving that practical spaces can still be beautiful!
Project 2: Think you need a huge garden for a standout makeover? Think again. One of Green Retreats’ recent customers transformed a long, narrow garden into a beautifully designed, multi-functional space – complete with a stylish home office, compact treadmill, and a sofa bed for overnight guests.
It’ s a clever example of how even modest outdoor spaces can be reimagined into versatile rooms with year-round purpose.
Project 3: What began as an empty patch of soil has been completely transformed into a stylish and functional garden retreat.
This once-overlooked corner of a small London garden is now a standout feature – seamlessly blending beauty with practicality, thanks to the addition of a bespoke garden office.
“ Our favourite part is seeing how much these spaces change lives – not just gardens,” says Makenzie Polden from the Green Retreats Sales & Design team.“ Whether it’ s for work, wellness or winding down, a garden room creates space where it matters most.
