How to Choose the Perfect Garden Room for Your Needs

mallum5

A garden room is more than just an extra space - it’s an investment in your lifestyle, property value and well-being. Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful home office, a luxurious guest suite or a versatile family retreat, finding the right garden room can feel overwhelming. At Hideaway Garden Rooms, we’re here to make that process as seamless as possible. Here’s a step-by-step guide to choosing the perfect garden room for your needs.


1. Define Your Garden Room's Purpose

The first step in selecting the ideal garden room is understanding how you’ll use it.

  • Home Office: If you work from home, prioritise insulation, natural lighting and electrical outlets for tech.

  • Home Gym: Look for durable flooring, good ventilation and sufficient height for exercise equipment.

  • Guest Accommodation: Opt for larger layouts with plumbing for a bathroom or kitchenette.

  • Multifunctional Space: Choose a flexible layout to accommodate everything from playrooms to relaxation zones.

By defining its purpose, you can focus on the features that matter most.


2. Consider Your Garden Space

Not every garden is the same, which is why bespoke designs are so popular.

  • Measure your space: Consider how much of your garden you’re willing to dedicate to the structure.

  • Shape and layout: An L-shaped or custom-designed room can fit irregular spaces perfectly.

  • Proximity to your home: Decide whether you want your garden room tucked away for privacy or closer for convenience.

At Hideaway Garden Rooms, we specialise in custom builds that maximise your garden’s potential.


3. Prioritise Comfort and Practicality of Your Garden Room

Your garden room should be a year-round haven. Here are key features to prioritise:

  • Insulation: PIR insulation for walls, roof and floor ensures comfort in every season.

  • Windows and Doors: Double-glazed options not only look stunning but also boost energy efficiency.

  • Electrics: A complete system with sockets, lighting and heating keeps your space functional.

  • Roofing: EPDM roofing ensures durability and weather resistance.


4. Match Your Style Throughout Your Garden Room

Your garden room should complement your home and personal taste.

  • Exterior finishes: Choose cladding options like composite panels for a sleek modern look or natural timber for rustic charm.

  • Interior design: Opt for plastered walls and paint finishes or go bold with biophilic design elements.

  • Lighting: Integrated LED lighting can create a warm and inviting ambiance.


5. Plan Your Budget

Garden rooms are an investment and setting a clear budget upfront will help you make informed decisions.

  • Standard vs. bespoke: Bespoke designs may cost more but offer a tailored fit for your garden.

  • Extras and upgrades: Factor in features such as decking, air conditioning or smart technology.

  • Phased payments: Discuss payment plans or phased payments to spread the cost.
