Basics of garden shed designs



 
The idea of the garden shed has long since evolved past the point where it is just another bit of storage. Many people utilize their sheds in a plethora of ways, sure, storage still takes precedent but have you ever considered using your shed as your own private workspace? 

Or maybe you would find much more benefit in designing it to be a ‘get away’ from your home. Whatever your choice, you need to find garden shed designs to match. Let’s take a little look at what is on offer.
When people start to look for a garden shed they no doubt toddle off to the local garden shop and purchase one of those wooden monstrosities. However, you want your garden to look as beautiful as possible right? Then why not consider some of these garden shed designs which don’t involve something bland sitting in the garden ruining the aesthetic appeal.

When you are considering garden shed ideas you will want to consider what the purpose of the shed is going to be. If it is going to be a ‘get away’ then why not design the shed as a miniature form of your house? (or something completely different!). 

I have seen plenty of garden sheds which look like a small cottage which really do emphasis the getaway nature of what it is trying to achieve. If you have a potting shed then why not make it open plan so you can get access to what you need quickly and easily? 

Plenty of designs don’t have doors, this means that you can keep your tools dry whilst simply walking in and grabbing everything you need. You may even want to consider having a path run through the center. If you are looking to build a workshop then you have even more ideas to play with.

In my opinion, when you are considering garden shed designs you will want to bear in mind the surroundings it is going to be sitting in. You will want to make it blend in as much as possible, this includes paying attention not only to the materials that the shed is made out of, but also the angle of the roof. For example, if you have a birdhouse nearby that has a particular style of roof then why not try to match that on your garden shed? It will blend in much better causing your garden to look all that more beautiful.

The best garden shed designs are ones that don’t look like sheds at all, they look like something brilliant and a place that you really want to be. Consider that when the time comes to build your shed.A

The only way that you are truly going to get what you want when it comes to garden shed designs is by building one yourself. Remember, there is a lot to consider with regards to a shed and that ‘traditional’ wooden object isn’t going to quite cut it anymore. So in summary you are going to need to consider what your garden looks like and the functions of the shed then build up from that.
