Due to the changes since Covid 19, working from home is becoming increasingly more common. Adding a garden room can offer a number of benefits, whether it be for work, play or stay and most can be adapted at build stage to accommodate all three depending on size, budget and planning restrictions. Over 90% of Garden rooms will not require planning consent.
There are many reasons why a garden room will change your life but here are six that we consider to have the most importance
1. No daily commute
When you have your office in your garden your commute time will reduce drastically. No more early mornings to beat the rush hour traffic or the chaotic public transport where you struggle to even get a seat. A stroll from your back door to your garden office will allow you to start your day fresh and stress free, not only that but the money you will be saving will definitely add up.
2. No more 9-5 routine
Gone are the days of making sure you’re sat at your desk for 9am and not switching off till the hour hits 5pm. Having an office in your garden gives you the freedom to work the hours that are suitable for you. With the right working attitude, you’ll be able to complete what you need to do within your own hours, without having the regulated times of company offices.
3. Away from the city and noise
If you work in the city, the hustle and bustle of the lively location can certainly take a toll on how you work and it’s not always for everyone. You may find when working in your garden office that the calm and peaceful environment can greatly increase your productivity.
4. Create the room of your choice
The ability to create a room that suits your needs is another benefit when considering which type, style and size. Off the shelf, kit form and bespoke versions can be achieved all of will fit perfectly in your garden. Also being able to choose your desk, chair and even the temperature of the room are all added benefits to being in control of your own garden space.
5. Balance home and work-life
The balance between home and work life can be difficult to manage, but working from your garden could be the answer. The flexibility of being able to take a break, watch your child’s school performance or cook dinner for the family, is all possible whilst still holding a career – it’s all down to your management skills and using your time effectively.
6. Increases your property value
Not only is having a garden room beneficial to your lifestyle, but when it comes to moving on and selling up, having extras in your home such as a garden office can increase your property value by up 7%. The investment of buying an outdoor building can be a potential financial source by the time you look to settle elsewhere, so it’s something you should consider.
