3 Ways a Garden Lodge can Solve your Space Problems

3 Ways a Garden Lodge can Solve your Space Problems

By Andrew Tweddle on 6th July, 2011

Garden lodges from Decorated Shed are larger solutions to space problems you may have. They can include multiple rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and, in their own right, are fully-fledged homes. As with all Decorated Shed buildings, they can be completely customised for your own requirements. With such flexibility, a garden lodge can have a number of purposes that will help ease your space worries.

Granny Annexes – Granny annexes are all about being able to care for your loved ones, while allowing them to retain their independence. The idea of a parent or older relative moving into your home can be a delicate matter, for both you and your relative. There is the problem of a lack of space available and your loved one may not want to feel like they are burdening you by living under your roof. This is why a garden lodge from Decorated Shed can be the perfect solution. Being very close to the main house, it allows your loved one to feel safe, yet also independent and allows everyone to have their own personal space. Plus, it can all be made bespoke to make sure any needs or requirements are fulfilled.

Teenage Hangout – Using the garden lodge for a teenage son or daughter is another example of it creating an environment that safely nurtures independence. As your teenager begins to approach adulthood, the idea of having their own space will start to grow. A garden lodge can create that, while still allowing you and them to stay safe in the knowledge that they are just at the bottom of the garden. It is also a way of beginning to give them an idea of what adult life can be like, by giving them some responsibility.

Personal Hideaway – The above ideas are perfect ways to allow your loved ones more space and freedom, but this idea is a much more self-indulgent one. A busy home, full of family and friends is a loving and warm environment, but it can occasionally feel that you have to sacrifice your own personal space to accommodate everyone else. A garden lodge can be your very own hideaway, where, at the end of a long day, you can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.
