Sheds and Garden Huts

Sheds

Sheds can be a great addition to your home. There are many types of sheds to choose from.

You need to look at what kind of shed you want to buy or build considering factors pertinent to your own particular circumstances including what you want to use the shed for, your budget, aesthetics, what materials are available to you and in certain circumstances topography.

Various shed options include:

 Prefabricated sheds, a shed that comes in kit form, with all the relevant parts

 Heritage sheds, may be installed or are also available in prefabricated form.  Heritage sheds are a little more expensive but add value onto your home and are visually           appealing.

 Stone sheds add value to your home and require very little maintance.  They are expensive to build due to the cost of the stone and skill needed to build them.

Timber sheds can be built from a variety of wood, with either pitched or flat roofs.

 Steel sheds are a good choice as they are cost effective and low maintenance!

Decorating a garden hut can be a delightful project that allows you to express your creativity while enhancing the ambiance of your outdoor space. Here are some fun ideas to consider:

1. Fairy Lights: Wrap fairy lights around the exterior of the hut or drape them across the roof to create a magical, twinkling effect. You can choose warm white lights for a cozy ambiance or colorful ones for a playful vibe.

2. Hanging Plants: Hang baskets of trailing plants or colorful flowers around the entrance or along the sides of the hut. This adds a touch of greenery and natural beauty to the space.

3. Window Boxes: Install window boxes on the hut's windowsills and fill them with vibrant flowers or herbs. Not only does this add visual interest, but it also brings lovely scents and attracts pollinators.

4. Artwork: Hang outdoor artwork or decorative signs on the walls of the hut to personalize the space and add character. You could opt for rustic wooden signs, metal sculptures, or even create your own artwork to display.

5. Cozy Seating: Place a small bench or some comfortable chairs inside the hut to create a cozy seating area where you can relax and enjoy the surroundings. Add some colorful cushions and throws for extra comfort and style.

6. Themed Decor: Choose a theme for your garden hut decor, such as a beach retreat, a rustic cabin, or a tropical paradise, and decorate accordingly. Incorporate themed accessories like shells, driftwood, lanterns, or bamboo accents to bring your chosen theme to life.

7. Vertical Gardens: Install a vertical garden on one side of the hut using hanging planters, wall-mounted containers, or a trellis with climbing plants. This not only maximizes space but also adds a lush, green backdrop to the hut.

8. Outdoor Rug: Place a weather-resistant rug in front of the hut's entrance to define the space and add warmth underfoot. Choose a pattern or color that complements the surroundings and ties the decor together.

9. Upcycled Decor: Get creative with upcycled decor by repurposing old items into new, decorative pieces for the garden hut. For example, you could use old crates as shelves, turn vintage ladders into plant stands, or transform salvaged windows into decorative accents.

10. Seasonal Touches: Switch up the decor seasonally to keep things fresh and interesting. Add pumpkins and gourds in the fall, festive lights and ornaments in the winter, flowers and pastel accents in the spring, and beach-inspired decor in the summer.

Remember to consider the hut's surroundings, your personal style, and the overall atmosphere you want to create when choosing decorations. Have fun experimenting with different ideas until you find the perfect combination that reflects your taste and makes your garden hut a welcoming retreat.
