15 Garden Room Ideas to Transform Your Outdoor Space
- Gorgeous Glass Rooms
If you really want to feel like you are in the outdoors, a modern glass room is a great choice. Offering a sleek design compared to a similar conservatory structure, glass rooms have floor-to-ceiling panels that increase the amount of light entering the space.
There are a number of different uses for a room like this, including:
- Art studio
- Craft room
- Garden office
- Games room
- Meditation space
No matter how you choose to use your glass room, it’s sure to bring light to your life.
- Lovely Louvre Pod
Next on our list of ideas for garden rooms is an innovative design from Open Space Concepts.
The Louvre Pod is a bespoke solution that offers ideal comfort when it comes to both light and temperature. It has a 100% watertight structure so you can be sure that your beloved items won’t get ruined.
It can be tailored to suit your needs and plans for the room, for example, if you would like to use this garden room as a gym you can use louvred walls for some privacy as well as glass sliding doors to add some extra ventilation on those hot, sunny days.
- Sophisticated Shoffice
Most people choose a shoffice for their garden room idea. You may be asking, what is a shoffice? Well, it’s a hybrid of a shed and an office.
Research shows that productivity increases by 45% after spending half an hour in nature – imagine how much you’d get done working outside! That’s not the only benefit to working outside though, you can also:
- Reduce your stress
- Boost your mood
- Enhance your focus
You can either choose a garden office design that has a traditional, country-style appearance with tonal woods and rustic features or a modern appearance with minimalist furniture, climbing plants, and mood lighting for a cosy atmosphere.
- Beautiful Outdoor Kitchen
Who doesn’t love to dine alfresco? There’s nothing that screams summer more, but who says this activity is just for the hot days?
If you transform your garden room into an outdoor kitchen, you can have this luxury all year round. Here at Open Space Concepts, we create bespoke outdoor kitchens so you can design a space that meets all of your needs. Whether you want multiple ovens, a bar, or a space to entertain your loved ones, this garden room idea provides multiple benefits to all who enter the space.

- Helpful Storage Room
It may be a bit of a stereotypical idea for a garden room, but that just means it’s most true!
Sheds are most commonly used for storing those extra bits and pieces, such as lawnmowers, bikes, or tools. However, that’s not all that can be stored in a shed! If it is properly insulated to prevent mould, it can also be used to house:
- Clothes
- Shoes
- Electrical equipment
You can store anything and everything you need in your outdoor storage room.
- Cosy Cocoon
Another proprietary idea from Open Space Concepts is The Cocoon. A sanctuary that provides a cosy atmosphere and chilled space.
A place to unwind, relax, and find your calm, The Cocoon is a great garden room idea. It combines the outdoors with the luxuries of the indoors to create a zen space that has everything you could ever need.
It has built-in push buttons to control the atmospheric lighting or privacy screens to cutomise your space to your needs. Don’t want to get up off your cosy couch? No problem – you can control them from an app too!
This garden retreat is like a secret den for you to go and find your inner peace – whether that be from yoga stretches, meditations, or crafting.
- Super (Wo)Man Cave
If you’ve never heard of a man cave, listen up!
Man caves are places where men can go to have their own space and time to do the things they love. This could be to play video games, store their football shirt collection, or build items – whether that be things for around the home or models.
But who’s to say these rooms just have to be for men? Women can have their own hidden caves too!
- Plentiful Plantery
If you really want to bring the outdoors indoors, why not create a plantery?
There are a number of different ways to achieve this – one idea is a pergola with a green roof or you could have plants inside your garden room.
Obviously, different plants grow best in different conditions, so it’s important to know the best plants for your garden room.
You could choose to have:
- Flowers
- Herbs
- Small trees
- Shrubs
- Succulents
Or you could have a mixture of them all to create a beautiful botanical escape.
- Pump Iron in the Gym
Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have turned to working out at home more and more. Therefore, one great idea for your garden room is to turn it into an at-home gym.
For this style of garden room, you will probably want something that provides some privacy as well as a glass window or side for running on the treadmill. Still gives you that incredible feeling of running outdoors just without the wind, rain, and hail…
There’s a wide assortment of equipment you could get for your at-home gym, but we recommend starting with a few pieces to begin with before investing in every machine.
- Captivating Cinema Room
Are you someone who loves to have a movie night? Either on your own or as a way to spend time with loved ones. Well, what better way to revel in the magic of Hollywood than with a cinema room?
You could add beanbags, blankets, and buckets for popcorn or sweets. You can truly make the room magical with carefully positioned lights to make sure all the focus is on your TV or projection.
So snuggle up, phones on silent, and get ready for the big picture!
- Grand Games Room
If you’re looking for a way to entertain your guests, why not turn your garden room into a games haven?
You could have a range of everybody’s favourite board games as well as some new smash hits that will get everyone laughing uncontrollably. Depending on how big your garden room is, you could always add a pool table, darts board, or classic air hockey table to really bring some nostalgia!
Everybody will be asking to come over for a game or two.
- Awesome Aura Pod
Next is another bespoke garden room idea from Open Space Concepts. Meet, the Aura Pod!
This Belgian-manufactured garden room is a stylish yet durable addition to your outdoor space. The result of three generations, it combines all of their craftsmanship and expertise in design to create a high-quality solution for your needs.
It can be created bespoke so you can either build the structure around a feature already in your garden, such as a hot tub or sauna, or let it stand alone in all its glory.
- Glorious Garden Bar
Forget going out to a beer garden, create your own with your very own garden room bar!
Garden bars are extremely popular – so much so that now over 2.7 million people in the UK have their own garden bar. But why not take yours to the next level? You could create different zones in your garden, for example, one area for the adults to take a seat and catch up, one for the actual bar, and another for the kids to run around and play.
Just remember to drink responsibly!
- Practical Pergola
If you’re looking for a garden room idea that fits onto your current property, take a look at our range of innovative pergolas.
These stunning designs can be attached to your current property or be a standalone structure – whatever works best for your space. They’re a perfect place to entertain family and friends or have a quiet moment away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday.
Watertight and durable, these are a long-lasting structure that you will love for years to come – and this garden room will also add value to your property!
- Reading Nook
Finally on our ideas for garden rooms is a reading nook. There’s nothing more cosy than the sound of rain on the ceiling, a soft blanket, a hot drink, and diving into your next book.
Why not add to the cosy vibes by creating a shabby-chic vibe to your reading nook? Opt for warm traditional woods with a soft colour palette to design a welcoming and comforting place to escape from the outside world.
It will be like walking into your very own favourite book getaway!
