A Garden Room is a Useful Addition to any Home
>> Feb 7, 2013
This piece suggests a range of uses for a
garden room. It considers the positive and negative points of this kind of
extra room in and house and suggests some uses for a garden room. Different
kinds of garden room are also mentioned.
A garden room is a glass walled room with a
solid roof and may be attached to a house or a standalone structure in a
garden. They have many uses and although the solid roof does not give the full
sunlit effect of a conservatory, it has other advantages such as making the
room easier to heat or cool. If you are looking to extend your house or adding
extra space in the garden then a garden room is a good option to consider.
Make the most of the space
A garden room provides a useful extra
space in any home and when they are attached to the house itself they are
easily accessible. Garden rooms that are not directly attached sometimes
suffers from lack of use, especially during the winter in colder climates; this
can be avoided by making the room multipurpose, while it may be a sun trap in
summer it could be put to work as a gym or party room in the winter. A garden
room can be used as an office year round; good quality construction will
minimise the heat loss through lots of glass and the solid roof makes sure that
the rooms doesn't get too hot in the summer so the space can be easily
maintained at a comfortable temperature and a detached building is especially
good for an office. Decking out a garden room with comfortable chairs, a fridge
and maybe a pool table or other games make it a great place for children and
teenagers to relax; they get a separate but easily monitored space.
Extend your vegetable patch
As growing your own food becomes more
popular all the time a garden room makes a great growing room where you can
also relax in a plant filled environment. Vegetables and fruit that do not cope
well with a cooler climate can be grown in garden rooms, which gives amateur growers a wider range of foods to try. There are
also lots of attractive flowers that thrive in a warm room and as the garden
room will also be used for socialising and relaxing the heating for the plants
is not wasted as it would be in a bespoke green house. The glass walls let
through plenty of light, making this room a good place for anyone with
seasonally affected disorder as they can get the maximum daylight in a
comfortable location and plants produce oxygen so the atmosphere in the room
will benefit as well.
Overall an additional room with the glass walling of a garden room is a great addition to any house and by putting a bit of planning into the furnishing and uses that the room will be put to you can make the most of the extra space year round.
