Gardens are not just seen as an outdoor area anymore, but as an extension of your total living space.
An increasing number of people are choosing to build garden rooms or buildings in their gardens, to maximise this space, creating private sanctuaries, offices, studios or living areas to use and enjoy.
Artificial grass can work well with a garden room or building for practical and aesthetic reasons.
Pros of artificial grass and garden rooms…
- Clean and contemporary
- Will not tread a muddy path between buildings
- Time saving (no cutting, no watering, no fertiliser)
- Can be cut to any size or shape
- Perfect for making use of your garden
Is a garden room for you?
When might you choose a garden room…
- You can’t build an extension because your house is a listed building
- You don’t want to go through a loft conversion
- You need a private place for focused work or study
- You would like to use your garden more often
- You need a place to entertain without disturbing others
Garden rooms are well insulated and constructed as if they were another room to the house. That can be quite costly to build, so there are other options including cabins, lodges, pods, summer houses and chic sheds.
Things to consider…
- You may need planning permission if you the building is above 2.5m high, with a roof over 4m, if the building covers more than half the garden space among other things.
- Is your house in an area of natural beauty, with protected plants and animals? Some wildlife cannot be disturbed or uprooted so consider where you want to put your garden room.
- What kind of insulation do you want?
- Does it need wiring for electricity?
- Does it need plumbing?
- What is the right style for my garden?
Here are some examples…
Take a look at some of the installations we’ve done over the years around garden rooms, cabins and chic sheds.
There are lots of garden features that go well with artificial grass. For more examples including decking and patios, take a look at our Love the Look series.
