If you've ever wanted to create extra living space in your backyard, a shed with rooms might be your best option. In fact, a backyard shed can be transformed into far more than just a storage space - you can create an office, guest room, art studio or any other type of cozy retreat.
Whether you choose to build a shed yourself or opt for a prefab shed, here are some ideas to make it work for you:
Rustic style decor is perfect for making a modern shed cozy and charming. Use distressed wood finishes and rugged textures like leather, wool and burlap.
Try including repurposed items or vintage finds from thrift stores to save money on chic shed design.
If you have the room, expand your shed space with a simple wooden deck. You can create a mini outdoor living or entertaining space by adding cozy seating and surfaces for food and drink.
Include twinkling string lights and lanterns for an outdoor vibe that's whimsical and warm. Or, build a faux fireplace with candles to turn up the heat.
Create the combination potting station and greenhouse in your own backyard by converting a shed into a gardening sanctuary.
Include the perfect potting bench and maximize natural light for the ideal indoor garden. You can store your garden tools and supplies while growing container plants in a secluded spot all your own.
I grew up in a small town in Wyoming and married my high school sweetheart. I purchased my first home when I was 18 and immediately found a passion for real estate. One year later, I passed the Wyoming Real Estate Exam, and successfully purchased my second property! I love to help people navigate the real estate process and connect with my customers to help them achieve their real estate goals! With more than 25 years of experience in the industry – including residential, commercial, timeshare sales, and property management: I thrive on new opportunities to assist Buyers and Sellers. When not listing a property or negotiating an offer, you may find me on the beach enjoying some "Salt Life", volunteering at my child's school, and helping out in the community. Finally, I am proud to sit on the board of directors of a dedicated 501c3 foundation & help veterans, active service members, & first responders find relief from PTSD through scuba diving.
