For people who don’t work from home, homeworking is a dream to aspire to. Having escaped the rat race, you can lay in bed till 10, have breakfast watching the news, then work at your own speed in your pyjamas. If you do work from home, however, you will already be aware that things aren’t so simple!

If you run your own business, or work remotely for someone else, then it is your responsibility to establish a suitable working space. There are two ways to go about this: if you run a business you always have the option of renting office space, or else you have to set up an office at home. The alternative to both of these is to invest in a home garden office.

The modern garden room is fast becoming a practical, and cost-effective way in which to create much needed additional living space. If you need additional living space, but cannot extend your property, then the modern garden room could be the answer. They are comfortable and stylish, while providing you with additional daily living space that can be used all year round.

One of the strongest arguments in favour of building a house extension is the extra value it adds to your property. However, a house extension is a big undertaking that comes with a hefty price tag and plenty of hassle. Wooden garden buildings are the perfect alternative if you need more space but don’t want to turn your life upside down (and borrow £XXXXXXXXX) to build an extension.

You definitely don’t have to be a professional dancer to want to have your own dance studio in which you can practice and pirouette to your heart’s content. Rather than have to head to the dance studio every time you fancy perfecting a new routine, think how great – and easy – it would be to head out to the garden instead.

Depending on what you use your Garden Room for, you may have a considerable amount of valuable equipment in there – especially if you happen to be using it as a home office.

Decent computers don’t come cheap these days and if you’re an architect or some other type of designer then you have probably invested in an expensive CAD package too. Interior designers meanwhile may be storing some expensive items for their clients to use at a later stage during the home make-over they have worked on for them. So it makes sense then to consider having your Garden Room or Home Office insured. That way, not only will you be covered in the event of a break-in, but you can also count on on-going peace of mind too.

Building a hot tub into your garden room is a decision that you will be thankful for. There are many reasons to add a hot tub to your life, and having easy access to the relaxation it provides will give you a whole new view of your garden.

There are different types of hot tub to choose from, and you are sure to find one that is perfect for your needs. You have a lot of options for integrating a hot tub into your garden room, so let's take a look at some of the benefits that a hot tub offers you.

Garden rooms are fantastic spaces for entertaining family and friends. Even if the rooms in your house are fairly confined, you can build an open plan, spacious building in your garden where you can hold the best parties and gatherings at any time of year!

There have been incredible, widely-publicised results people have achieved with an investment in a garden room. One such report indicated that someone achieved a staggering return on a £6,000 investment, adding over £35,000 to the value of their home! A garden room is a beautiful and functional addition that opens new doors for prospective buyers, and is a rare gem that can give a property lots of extra appeal. This is why investing in a garden room for your property is a solid investment, which can add significant value to your home.

Have a tiny terrace, petite patio or bite-sized backyard and would still love a Garden Room? Then despair no longer. It certainly helps, but you don’t have to own a large garden in order to be the proud owner of one of these fabulous Home Offices, Man Caves or Art Studios.

Because, like small packages, beautiful quality Garden Rooms also come in smaller versions. And with clever planning and a bit of design know-how anything is possible. Here are some ideas to incorporate a Garden Room into a smaller space. See what you think:

A quality garden room should enhance the appearance of its surroundings. When choosing the right material for the exterior of your new garden room, it is important to think about long-term appearance and durability. Although most materials will look good initially, over time softer, fast growing, wider grained woods deteriorate more rapidly. A cheaper cladding option could reduce the longevity of your garden room and cost more in time and money in the long run.

Here at Cabin Master, we understand the value of quality materials, and avoid using quick grown timber - all our garden rooms are built using either a Scandinavian Redwood Cedar or Larch.
