What would you do with a whole load of extra space for your house? How would you decorate it and fit it out?
Garden rooms are most often used as a place to work, relax or store things. But at INASPACE we see garden rooms as a modern solution for creating more living space.
The minimalist design of our garden rooms makes them incredibly versatile, whether you need a space to entertain friends away from the house, a creative space to fulfil your passion or a relaxed space to kick back and read your favourite book.

1. A New Year’s Bar
If you love to play host, why not turn your garden room into a bar for a New Year’s shindig!
With a garden room, there’s no need to convert part of the house into a bar or take chances with the garden in the unreliable British weather.
You could put your own unique spin on the space and decorate it like a Sports Bar, Tiki Bar or classic British pub.


2. Santa’s Grotto
Rather than making the kids spend hours queuing to visit Santa’s grotto in a department store or festive market, bring the magic of Christmas to your very own garden room!
Our garden rooms come with a wall-mounted heater and double plug sockets, so it’s easy to create a warm, cosy atmosphere with lots of fairy lights. Plus, the separation of the garden room from your house will really make it feel like an enchanted world of its own.
3. Art Studio
The large glass doors of our garden rooms allow masses of natural light to flood in, making them the perfect place to set up an art studio.
In a garden room, you can focus on your art in privacy without anyone disturbing your creative flow.
Use the blank walls of the garden room as a mood board and put-up images and quotes to inspire your work.


4. Relaxation Room
At home, 5 minutes of distraction-free peace and quiet can be difficult to find. It’s easy to get side-lined by chores or a quick work-related task. Turning your garden room into a Relaxation room is looking after your own wellbeing and a step towards a better work-life balance.
Personalise your Relaxation room to make it the perfect tranquil space, with comfy seating like lounge chairs or a bean bag and some scented candles or incense.
5. Games Room
Whatever type of gaming you’re into, immerse yourself in your garden room with total privacy and freedom to and seek virtual adventure, quests and fun.
If you’re a board game lover, a garden room is an ideal spot to have friends over for game nights.
Decorate your room with wall-art and memorabilia from your favourite games and characters.


6. Garden Office
If you work from home on a hybrid or full-time basis, there is nowhere better to concentrate than a garden office.
Offices and co-working spaces are not always designed to support happy working practices.
Working from a garden office allows you to customise your space to suit your needs, maximise productivity and take control over the schedule of your day.
7. Home Gym
Going to the gym can sometimes feel like a chore, particularly if it is costly and involves a long commute. So why not solve two problems by installing a home gym in your garden room and keep your New Year resolution of shedding a few pounds while looking out over your garden. Having a workout space that’s separate from your main house will still get you in the zone.


8. Kids playroom
If you work from home on a hybrid or full-time basis, there is nowhere better to concentrate than a garden office.
Offices and co-working spaces are not always designed to support happy working practices.
Working from a garden office allows you to customise your space to suit your needs, maximise productivity and take control over the schedule of your day.
9. Yoga Studio
Yoga is about slowing down, tuning out the world and focusing on your body. You need to practice your yoga in a quiet, peaceful place where you’re not going to be disturbed, like a garden room. Customise the room to suit your practice, for example, if you follow along to instructional yoga videos, set up a music system and television. The sleek, elegant design of our rooms makes them perfectly suitable as a yoga room. Fill the space with fresh flowers, pillows and soothing artworks to give you the feeling of being in a professional studio and find your inner peace.


10. Reading Room
If your New Year’s resolution is to read more, why not increase your chances of sticking to it by turning your garden room into a reading sanctuary. Imagine the joy of whiling away an evening or Sunday afternoon of undisturbed calm, gazing over your garden, engrossed in a good book. If you’re already an avid reader with books overflowing from your shelves, consider your room as your own personal library, and make more space in your house. The rows of books will look charming lined up along the beautifully coloured walls of your room.
11. Entertaining Room
If you’re having a small get together with a few friends, it can help to have an ambient space that feels intimate and luxurious where your guests can relax and feel at home. It’s easy to create this special atmosphere in a purpose-built garden room as an alternative to your kitchen or living room. Garden rooms are also the perfect romantic retreat for a date night, as you can enjoy your dinner by candlelight with a view of the stars through the large glass doors.
