Throughout 2020, many of us spent more time in our gardens leading to the realisation that our gardens were just as important to consider during renovation or improvement decisions as any other area of our homes.

Making the most of your outdoor space can be tricky, so to help you make those tough decisions and begin creating the garden of your dreams, we’ve spoken to the team at Eurocell Home to get their top tips on starting your garden remodel.

Make a plan of action

As with any renovation project, it’s important to plan out your ideas to make sure that everything is achievable and realistic. One of the best ways to start your planning is to divide your garden up into areas, allowing you to easily identify the best places to locate features and ensure you’re creating a nice flow for your space.

For example, you could look to divide your garden up with a space for relaxation where you’d locate a small sitting area and chimenea, or you could plan out a workspace where you can locate a small garden room. No matter what you decide to place into your garden, once you’ve planned out your area, be sure to plan out a scheme of work. If there are jobs which are time-sensitive, such as installing foundations for a garden room, then put them toward the top of the list so you can avoid any unnecessary delays to your project.

Many of the latest garden rooms, including Eurocell Home’s ‘Kyube’ range, are able to be installed in a very short time frame, with Eurocell’s range taking as little as 5 days from arrival on site, reducing delays in construction. Whether you’re looking for a classical timber-framed garden room, or a high-spec steel-framed building, Eurocell Home’s ‘Kyube’ range has the ideal garden room to suit the needs of both you and your timetable.

Consider environmental factors

It’s quite easy to get carried away when you start planning out your dream garden, deciding on beautiful furniture and plants that will make a stunning display. However, just as some styles aren’t suitable for every house, not every garden will be suitable for every item on the market.

Environmental factors, such as weather and light can make a big impact on how it feels to be in your garden; for example, locating a sitting area in an open area may look nice, but it could become uncomfortable in windy conditions due to wind chill. Alternatively, placing a den or garden room far away from your house might seem like the perfect place to escape too, but you’ll need to think about other considerations such as ease of access, and building concerns such as where to place and how to install any necessary wiring for the building.

Add a bit of utility

Many garden redesigns fall into the trap of thinking “what will look the best?”, rather than “what will I get the most use out of?”. Your garden can be many things, including a space for relaxation, an area for you to work out and keep fit, or even a second office – the limits are just your space and your imagination!

Consider these factors in your plans to make sure you’re using your space as effectively as possible. If you do a job that allows you to work from home, consider investing in a garden room that can act as a breakout space for those long days, or a perfect hideout for those summer evenings.

No matter whether you’re looking to make a small addition to your garden for an extra workspace, or a full-scale building that can house everything from a playroom to a gym, Eurocell Home’s range of garden rooms are the perfect way to achieve your ultimate garden desires.

Eurocell Home now offer a wide range of market-leading garden rooms, including both timber and steel-framed structures, all designed to add utility, glamour and value to your outdoor space. All of Eurocell Home’s ‘Kyube’ range feature a wide variety of cladding and finish
