17 Garden Room Ideas To Bring The Outdoors In

Browse these garden room ideas and be inspired to create an indoor space that is filled with greenery, nature and natural light. Garden rooms are the perfect balance between indoors and out and are a rising trend in the UK, as we aim to blur the boundaries between garden and home. We want to create a seamless space that offers both airyness and homely warmth.

Garden room ideas: 4 options

Orangeries, which have elements of glass, stone or brickwork and a lantern roof, are increasingly popular, as are garden rooms with a solid roof. Both types of building can be integrated into the style of your house better than a glass conservatory, as you can match up materials such as roof tiles and bricks. It's easier to regulate the temperature in orangeries and garden rooms as they're less subject to extremes of weather than a room constructed solely of glass.

However, conservatories can be shaded by roof and window blinds or have solar-controlled windows to reduce glare and temperature or low-emissivity glass to avoid heat loss in a north-facing room. Installing underfloor heating will make the area more welcoming in winter. Use a glazed extension to expand your living space, or turn it into an area where plants take centre stage, then add chairs and a table to increase your enjoyment. A large garden room can work well as a kitchen-diner, offering a convivial space to entertain, or can be turned into a living room.

A summerhouse gives you the chance to indulge in a sense of escapism and create a personal retreat. It could serve as an extra living space or bedroom but it is well worth investing in running electricity to provide heating and lighting, in addition to insulation so it can be used year round.

Huts on wheels, such as vintage shepherd's huts, are very popular and new ones are being made by many companies following the traditional lines of the Victorian originals. These, too, can be kitted out with heating in the form of a traditional stove or served by plumbing and electricity if they have a permanent site. Alternatively, you might want to keep furnishings simple and use it as a place to camp out in the summer.

How to style a garden room

When decorating a garden hideaway, it can be fun to opt for a more rustic scheme than your main home. A floor in brick, wooden board or tiles is practical but can be offset with comfortable upholstered furniture, textiles and fabrics. If the interior is boarded, you can create different looks by painting it and introducing artworks or shelving, plus cupboards for storage. Or create a working area with a desk and chair or a potting bench to make a space for relaxing, as well as propagating and raising plants. Using rustic materials and pieces of furniture more often used in an outside context to create a stylish look.

16 inviting ways to bring the outdoors in |

(Image credit: HollandGreen/Ellie Walpole)

Looking for garden room ideas? If your home is in need of some extra square footage (and some extra light), this windowed structure could be the answer.

By definition, a garden room is a windowed space with a fully shingled roof. Most often, a garden room is a freestanding backyard idea, like a shed or a greenhouse. But, they can also be attached to an existing building, similar to a sunroom, conservatory or orangery.

Fed up with our existing four walls, we are all looking to our outdoor spaces for the answer to how we expand our property’s footprint. With the high costs of moving, the obvious step is to make better use of what we own – adapting our garden ideas to the functional and fun needs of modern life. 

Garden room ideas

Extending your home into the backyard, building a freestanding room with a view of the garden, or refurbishing an existing shed or outbuilding can all offer an opportunity for a light-filled, functional space at home.

Here are our favorite ideas for both attached and detached garden rooms.

1. Mimic the architecture of your home

(Image credit: The Fox Group / Lindsay Salazar)

The buildings on you property should share a sense of style, so look to your home for ideas about how to design your garden room. For this pool house idea, designers at The Fox Group chose the same siding, roofing, and tile that's on the main house.  

2. Build a garden annex for multiple uses

If you have a garage mudroom that's separate from your home, consider connecting the two spaces via an annex-style garden room. This type of room makes an excellent contender for a home gym or an office space since it's set away from the main part of the home.

3. Consider local zoning laws

Before you get your heart set on a certain style of design or type of building, check with your local building department to see what's allowed for your property, and whether you'll need permits or planning permissions to complete the structure. 

Depending on where you live, you may be subject to regulations around the size of your structure, how far away it must be from your property line, or whether or not it can function as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU).

Additionally, you'll want to be considerate of your neighborhood and how your plans will impact those around you. 

‘Be prepared to be flexible and amend your design to suit the parameters; a boundary wall is not a problem in itself, but you have to be mindful of neighbor’s privacy and their right to light, therefore you may have to compromise on the height,’ says architect Max de Rosee of De Rosee Sa . 

4. Convert an existing outbuilding

If you already have a shed or barn on your property, consider converting it into a space you can use year round. Detached living spaces can work well as in-law apartments, au-pair suites, or home offices. 

A home office is now a key selling point for home buyers, but whether or not they add true value to a house differs depending on where you are, says Lindsay Cuthill of Savills .   ‘In the country, there’s usually ample space to build one but in a city it’s much more of a challenge – I’d expect houses that already have a good home office space in the yard to therefore attract a premium,' she says.

5. Create a space to entertain

(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton)

Architects say there’s been an increased appetite to build spaces in backyards that are used for entertaining, linked back to a heightened awareness of the benefits of being outside for wellbeing. 

Converting outbuildings into party barns with at-home bars, exercise areas, pool houses and spas, is a big trend says Ben Holland of HollandGreen Architecture . 

‘We’re also being asked to create different zones in outdoor spaces, each with their own ambiance and purpose, for instance, a rewilding area is ideal for quiet and reflection, and great for wildlife too,’ he says.

6. Build a garage with living space

Another garden building idea is to look at extending the garage, or building one from scratch. Oak-frame structures are popular in the countryside and many designs come with a room above that can be used as a home office, den room, games station or guest quarters. 

7. Choose a beautifully blended garden room

Looking for sunroom or conservatory ideas that make space for both dining and lounging? A concrete-topped table and rattan chairs offer a relaxed contemporary feel for lazy weekend brunches, while window seating, softened with a collection of graphic-print cushions in blues and greens, uses every inch of space without detracting from the bright feel. We love the green exterior of this space – which blends beautifully with the greenery surrounding it.

8. Invest in a glass room extension

One of the most exciting ways to enhance our homes and introduce more natural light is by adding a glass addition.

Here, a suspended ceiling surrounded by a glass border helps to insulate the room while providing tantalizing glimpses of sky, one to consider for porch ceiling ideas also.

9. Go big with windows

(Image credit: Future / Matthew Williams)

If you're all about increasing the natural light in your home or want to create a space that captures a view, a la a conservatory or sunroom, design your garden room with walls of windows. 

When choosing windows, however, it's important to take into consideration the affect all of that light will have on your furnishings and decor inside. Primarily, the high levels of glazing can result in UV damage. Using low emissivity glass will reduce the UV and IR light getting through, while installing blinds to both the roof and sides will also help to combat effects of the sun.

10. Light up with a flat glass roof

Flat glass roofs have proven extremely popular of late. These have several advantages: they offer an uninterrupted view of the sky and can slide open on summer evenings.

In the U.K., they can be a good solution for listed buildings (AKA historic homes) when conservation officers deem a traditional roof lantern to be too dominant.

11. Make the decor as bright as the room itself

(Image credit: Future / Simon Bevan)

A palette of soft green and greys, natural textures and an artful use of flowers and foliage combine beautifully for a summery scheme that blends indoors and out. A neat slipper-style chair makes a comfortable yet unobtrusive addition to a sunny corner, with relaxed Swedish blinds lending a modern country air.

12. Make it practical for your lifestyle

(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton)

Before you choose a design, it is important to note that it can be hard to create a full-use living space with a completely windowed extension. Even with advances in glass technology, this style of building can struggle to stay cool in direct sunlight.

If you plan to use your garden room as part of your main living space, consider making it more of a sunroom, with a wall of windows leading to the outdoors and a few skylights, instead of a space that's entirely made of glass.

‘More people now choose a garden room or orangery rather than a conservatory, since their solid roof construction makes them highly suitable for year-round living,’ says David Salisbury of David Salisbury Joinery .

13. Bring the outside in

Before designing the décor, consider the look of your garden, and also the surrounding landscape. Is it cottage style or formal? Incorporating the strongest themes and shapes in your garden through color, pattern or line can be a good departure point for planning a garden room scheme. 

For a more relaxed look, use metal or wrought iron garden furniture and natural stone flooring, like limestone flagstones or slate. Conventional, upholstered furniture and wooden floorboards will create a more formal feel. As a general rule of thumb, use lighter or medium-toned colors. 

For maximum access, install folding or sliding doors that open out all the way and lead straight into the garden; these are perfect for sunny days, allowing for uninterrupted movement between the garden and the house.

14. Embrace a garden room with a view

This house was rebuilt from a shell to include a new, light-filled addition, designed to make the most of views of surrounding greenery. A timeless and long-lasting choice, black steel frames are growing in popularity. Modern steel designs are double glazed and thermally efficient to meet the latest building standards.

15. Decorate in a harmonious color palette

Botanical prints in fresh greens create a tranquil spring-time feel that brings the outside in. Don’t be afraid to mix and match fabric in a country style garden room. It’s easier to mix patterns when they are drawn from the same color palette. Try experimenting with scale, combining florals, stripes and geometrics.

16. Introduce plenty of houseplants in a garden room

Garden rooms are the perfect opportunity for plant enthusiasts to show off larger specimens of plants that might not fit in around other areas of the house.  

'One of the great advantages of garden rooms is that they are usually so well lit,' says foli8’s Plant Scientist, Kenneth Freeman. 'This means that your plants will seldom be wanting for light. They are often warm – almost hot – in the summer, despite all efforts to shade them. Conversely, they can be a little chilly in the winter. These conditions are ideal for a wide range of plants which can be displayed with great imagination and style.'

When planning a garden room, think carefully about how you’d like to use the space. A garden room can be an extra sitting room, a peaceful sanctuary for enjoying your garden all year round, or a home office or ‘quiet zone.’ Alternatively, it can be your main family room, like many a contemporary orangery-style kitchen or a large convivial space for parties and entertaining. ‘With its full-length windows, an orangery will always create a more formal feel than a fully-glazed conservatory, and is now the most popular choice for kitchen and dining room extensions,’ says David.

A wide choice of building materials is available to suit all tastes. Painted hardwood is popular (look for companies using FSC certified sustainably-forested timber), while green oak-framed construction creates a more rustic look. Consider employing an architect, especially if your property is listed. To avoid delays at the planning stage, the scheme must blend sympathetically with the rest of the building, and have similar windows. Planning authorities will look closely at the roofline and positioning of any gables, and their visual impact on neighbouring properties. Solar control glass panels will optimize heat retention, and help keep heating costs down.

Our selection of garden room ideas offers plenty of inspiration for all property types and lifestyle needs.

What can I put in my garden room?

The beauty of a garden room is that it can be anything, really. You can use it as a relaxing retreat for reading and meditation, or as a space for a home gym or home office. Or, use it as a craft room, a space for guests to sleep, or even a potting shed. 

Consider the function of your garden room before you build it, since its size, features, and furnishings will depend on how you plan to use it. If you want your garden room to serve as a home office or guest quarters, for example, it'll need electricity, proper insulation, and a heating source. If you plan to use it as more of a three-seasons room or potting shed, you may be able to do without those things.

Garden Room Option 1 - Welcome. - an example of competent planning of a small area: the designers set themselves the task of placing all the elements of a full-fledged garden on a tiny territory - a lawn, flower beds, a tree, an additional resting place and even a fountain. And so, having decided on the idea, an emerald “carpet” was laid along the terrace, laying a walking path on it. nine0003

An original gravel island with a mini-fountain was immediately broken. It is this composition, as conceived by the authors, that should become the highlight of the garden, since in addition to a purely decorative function, the fountain should also create a relaxing atmosphere.

You can also admire this art object sitting in the far corner of the garden - an additional resting place has appeared here especially for this. The completion of the cozy story was a high wooden fence with three lattice inserts entwined with honeysuckle, which was erected on the border of the garden. nine0003

Before renewal

Near the new house there is only a terrace paved with slabs and a plot of land bordering the street with an area of ​​only 40 m 2 - on the opposite side. There is no full-fledged fence, no vegetation yet. The owners of the site would like this area to become suitable for a good rest.

The rest of the territory is reserved for lush flowering plants, painted in noble pastel and pink colors. Most of the flower beds are occupied by a ground cover dryad, “spread out” like a dense carpet. The moat shrubs “bring out” ornaments on it, it should become the highlight of the garden, since in addition to the purely decorative function, the fountain should also create a relaxing atmosphere. nine0003

You can also admire this art object while sitting in the far corner of the garden - an additional resting place has appeared here especially for this. The completion of the cozy story was a high wooden fence with three lattice inserts entwined with honeysuckle, which was erected on the border of the garden.

The rest of the territory is reserved for lush flowering plants, painted in noble pastel and pink colors. Most of the flower beds are occupied by a ground cover dryad, “spread out” like a dense carpet. nine0003

Shrubs and herbaceous perennials, including bulbs, are ornamented on it.

The flower parade is led by tulips, whose buds bloom in May: the “arrows” of the lovely Lilac Wonder break through the winter-green canopy of the dryad in spring and, together with the snow-white Thunberg spirea, set the joyful atmosphere of awakening nature in the garden.

In June, trellis honeysuckle and groundcover dryad open their many flowers. The ere-murus strikes with its piquant appearance, pleasing the eye with a lush color in June (the handsome man reaches a height of 2 m). Soon, soft pink hydrangea ‘Pinky Winky’, white muzzle, gaura join it, and in July they are complemented by echinacea with white and pink flowers. At the end of summer, millet ‘Heavy Metal’ contributes to the magnificence of flower beds, extending the period of decorative planting until the beginning of autumn. Three-dimensionality of a miniature garden room is given by a tree - ash-leaved maple. nine0003

Garden room: option 2 – Natural charm

The originality of this proposal lies in the fact that the garden is protected from prying eyes by a fence of apple trees formed in the form of a cordon. This is a fairly practical and decorative option: in spring, lovely flowers adorn the trees, and in autumn, the plants delight with a harvest of juicy fruits.

To make it convenient to cut apple trees - and this should be done three times a year - from the side of the garden, along the "fence", the designers laid a narrow gravel path (the same path connects the terrace with the gate). nine0003

Yellow and orange nasturtiums bloom comfortably from June to September under fruit trees.

Openwork fescue Gautiera dilutes them. Complementing the plant kingdom are remontant climbing roses of the ‘Use Krohn Superior’ variety, whose buds have been decorating the garden since June. Cercis, in turn, is a shaded resting place. Since the flowers appear before the leaves bloom, in the spring the tree becomes the protagonist of this garden.

The terrace is planted with spicy herbs planted in wicker boxes. The relaxing atmosphere here is created by a softly murmuring stone-fountain on a semicircular gravel area with boulders. nine0003

In summer, the Sinus rose contributes to the flower splendor, the light apricot flowers of which become snow-white with time. It has the form of a small bush, blooms profusely and is distinguished by excellent health. For these advantages, in 2013 the thunderstorm was awarded the ADR sign.

In addition, sage during flowering covers fading bulbous plants, which are just going to rest. As you know, in plantings, plants with different but shaped flowers are always well combined, so the duet of “balls” with “candles” harmoniously complements the large “saucers” of white peony ‘Jan van Leeuwen’ and oriental poppy ‘Tango’. nine0003

Small light purple flowers of 'Mrs. E. H. Beale 'look reserved, but decorate the flower garden twice a year: in June and - again - in September.

Looking for beautiful photos to design your country garden? Your attention - 30 interesting design options

An unformed yard on a country plot is a headache for every owner. I want not just aesthetics - I want to get a beautiful, spectacular, stylish garden in which you can gather with friends, relax, and enjoy the morning silence in the bosom of nature. And at any time of the year. Not sure how to turn a boring and dull yard into a beautiful garden? We will help you with ideas.

A beautiful water feature can beautify even the most gloomy yard. Let it be small and modest, but there should be a fountain - for beauty, microclimate, freshness. nine0003

The use of wood is one of the trends of the year. From this eco-friendly material, you can create not only houses, but also original designs for relaxing in a suburban area. Wooden decks and terraces around trees are relevant in conditions of a shortage of usable space and, no doubt, are aesthetic.

You can build a bench around a tree even from ordinary dismantled pallets. The main thing is to remember that a growing tree needs its own space, so you should not fix the main structure on the tree itself. nine0003

A simple garden path can become not only a functional element of the garden, but also the main accent in the chosen design. Moreover, it does not necessarily require large expenses, sometimes the simplest tiles and pebbles or expanded clay and crushed stone are enough to fill the voids creatively.

Are you looking for ideas to create original decorations in your garden? An excellent option is hanging rattan chairs: comfortable, stylish, aesthetic.

Paving slabs are often used in home landscaping because of their low cost with very attractive results. In addition, you can work with this tile yourself - a good savings for the family budget. nine0003

Design ideas for organizing flower beds in the country - a myriad. Flower beds and flower beds decorate the garden, delight the eye, mask the imperfections of the summer cottage.

The hedge as a phenomenon is no longer a novelty - this way to beautifully isolate yourself from curious neighbors and mark the boundaries of the site is used everywhere. In addition, with the help of a hedge, you can zone the space, decorate the borders of the paths, and so on. For a more solid density of the living "fence", plants can be planted in several rows, combining varieties. nine0003

When choosing products and elements for decorating the garden, do not forget about water bodies. You can even build a pond on your own if you follow the instructions. As decorations, experts recommend using flowers planted around the perimeter, plaster sculptures or decorative fish.

An open veranda is a great way to increase the usable space, add solidity to a country house and create a cozy corner for a summer dining siesta. You can hide your "oasis" from the scorching sun with such an aesthetic method. nine0003

Flowerbeds along the main fence on the site beautifully mask not only the dull fence, but also the unevenness of the terrain. You can decorate flower beds with unpretentious flowers or small shrubs, if the quality of the soil leaves much to be desired.

Editor's note:

— A beautiful garden does not always require radical changes and funds to pay for the work of a landscape designer. There are more than enough ways to decorate and transform the garden. An ordinary yard is turned into a plant garden. Today they can be bought at the nearest nursery - from mosses to seedlings. Modest water elements are among the most spectacular "tools" in the design of the garden. And it is not the size that is important, but the design of the "coast" line. A garden of stones, a creative arrangement of flowers, for example, in a cartwheel or in an old trough, beautiful lamps, garden paths and a drop of exotic - the same black tulips, will not hurt in the courtyard either. A little imagination, a little effort - and your garden will be magnificent. nine0003

The use of huge planters and monumental flower pots is an opportunity to surprise your guests with a stylish design of the yard and garden. One of the European trends is the combination of flowers and greenery with berry bushes.

No need to cut down extra trees on the site - they can be used in the overall design of the future stylish garden. For example, to create such a cozy corner with aesthetic and practical functions.

The wooden terrace-deck will fit into almost any country design. Even a small deck for a table and a couple of chairs will become a functional decoration at a low cost. nine0003

Original stone garden paths are one of the most popular solutions in home garden design. The best material for paving paths is, of course, natural stone, which will emphasize the beauty of the garden and will not require repairs in a couple of years. Beautiful, durable, free!

Flower pots can be used to decorate yards, gardens, patios, decks, garden paths and even balconies. Flower arrangements in tubs are mobile, aesthetic and organic in any site design. nine0003

A patio area in a summer cottage is simply unthinkable without stylish furniture and an abundance of greenery. As a site for this open-air living room, it is recommended to choose a place that dries quickly after rain.

Even without the skills of a designer and architect, you can design your country garden in accordance with your dreams and ideas. You can turn the site into a sample of landscape design by borrowing ready-made ideas.

Looking for a garden design that will impress every guest? Classic inexpensive tiles, ornamental shrubs and a plaster flowerpot are your “three pillars” of design. For a low-growing border of garden paths, you can use boxwood, juniper, spirea, Japanese quince. nine0003

Fashionable and spectacular garden paths do not always require serious financial investments. For example, this masterpiece will only require time and your efforts. And large natural stones, and tiny pebbles, and broken bricks with tiles that you were going to throw away are suitable as materials.

Even an old children's truck that you found in the attic can find its own place in the garden. What can we say about flower pots, which are used in the design of the site in many ways. For example, like this…

The main trend of modern landscape design is a stylish combination of residential plots of backyard territory with a green area. Patio, elegant "living rooms" in the courtyard and decks; simple forms and materials, hedges and phytowalls, multifunctionality of spaces and objects are the fashion trends of recent years.

This fragrant rose garden can be used instead of a hedge, as an arch or as a canopy over a pergola. It is important to remember that climbing roses require permeable soil and special care. nine0003

Another example of low-budget dacha landscape design: a mosaic of garden paths changes the look of the entire territory.

Globular plants are always eye-catching: they blend harmoniously with any garden design and are regularly used by landscape designers. If you don’t have time and energy for a curly haircut, you can simply choose plants with a natural spherical crown.

Editor's note:

— With the help of coniferous spherical plants, you can create a very interesting composition if you choose the right "balls" in size and height. Such plants often become a tool for smoothing the strict geometry of flower beds, enlivening space and creating comfort. Coniferous “balls” planted in the far corners of the site create the effect of an immense space, and even serve as umbrellas above the bench. Spherical plants can be used to decorate a garden alley. nine0003

Natural large stones are the highlight of any garden, able to connect different areas of the site into one beautiful whole. It is preferable to use stones as the edge of garden paths, lawns, ponds, plant compositions and other things. The most spectacular such decor can be for a composition of heather plants and mosses.

When a child dreams of a sports area, and the spouse's pulse quickens at the word "design"...

Of course, huge sports structures will be difficult to fit into the design of the site, but still a compromise is possible. nine0003
