Garden design tips to accommodate a garden room


Owning your own garden is a luxury in and of itself, especially in the rapidly growing housing market and with many cities expanding into green spaces. If you are looking to retain the value of your home, or even to add to it, you may be wondering how you can style your garden to match your potential garden room for a fully cohesive design. There are many ways you can do this, including lots of interesting design features that will suit your garden and garden room perfectly.

Garden rooms from specialist company Hawksbeck are entirely bespoke, being designed to your specific tastes and the needs of you and your family. With this in mind, you can be in total control of how you want your luxury garden room to look on the inside and outside!

When considering the outside of your garden room, there is a variety of different cladding options you can choose from, each having a distinct appearance on your garden room exterior. There are four common cladding options to choose from:

  • Cedar

  • Larch

  • Composite

  • Render

The Western red wood cedar cladding is a popular option on garden rooms due to its natural, deep colouring, which at the same time stands out, but also fits in with the natural environment. Its colouring looks wonderful against the greenery of a garden.  Looking for cladding to blend in with your garden? The lighter colour of larch cladding will make your garden room blend into the surroundings.

A swimming pool is an amazing addition to a garden if you have the space and budget for it, and a garden room alongside it can be a good way of having outdoor facilities that make using your pool easier and quicker! Your garden room could house a potential shower room or wet room, a useful toilet or kitchenette area or even a gym or exercise room to complement your swimming pool.

Creating a smooth transition from your garden space to your garden room is an important consideration and you may wish to consider having paving or decking to connect the two together. Paved patios or wooden decking areas can be a great design feature next to your garden room, turning into a wonderful area to host guests or have family parties from.  Decorate these areas with planters or screening for a homely feel and to match the rest of your garden. During the summer months, you can have drinks on the patio with a barbeque, or in the winter you can host guests inside on sofas or outside with cosy heaters and seating areas.

If you are looking to use your garden room as an office or annexe and are looking for more privacy, you could choose to have fencing around your garden that matches the colour of your garden room cladding. This will breathe a luxurious look and feel into your garden, organising it into separate spaces and creating firm divisions between separate areas of your garden.
