It’s common to think that the only need for a shed is to store backyard tools, garden tools or hidden Christmas gifts.
Not true! There are many other creative ways to use a backyard shed.
We’ve heard tall tales of many other uses such as being used as a bar/pub; home office; playhouse for the kiddos; spiritual/meditation room; and chicken coops.
With changing lifestyles and economies, people are becoming more creative with home space, transforming traditional areas into multifunctional spaces.
One such example is of celebrity musician Peter Gabriel’s wooden shed turned recording studio, complete with a tea set and lava lamps to give it a personal touch.
Another idea is to turn your backyard shed into a relaxation area. Love to read and need a space to get away from it all? Make a reading nook, or a private lounge. Don’t forget the “Do Not Disturb Sign!”
There are a number other creative ways to use outdoor shed space.
Turn it into an art studio. Make a spiritual center to pray or meditate. Use it as a plant nursery.
