Garden rooms have become a popular addition to many homes, offering a versatile space that can serve a variety of purposes, from a home office or garden gym to an entertainment space. But are garden rooms worth the investment? This question has been a topic of debate among homeowners, considering factors like cost, utility, and the potential increase in property value. In this blog, we will delve into the benefits and drawbacks of garden rooms to help you decide if they are indeed a valuable addition to your living space.
Every homeowner is aware of how valuable floor space is. Every square metre counts, and it can be difficult to discover solutions to expand the existing space. Building a garden room is one option to enlarge your home’s interior and increase its value. A garden room is an enclosed building that stands apart from your home and serves a range of functions, including home offices, playrooms and fitness areas. Consider adding a garden room if you’re searching for a practical solution to expand the size and value of your home without the cost and inconvenience of an extension or conservatory. Within just three weeks, we can install your dream garden room, designed exactly how you would like it. If you would like find out more about the value a garden room adds, check out one of our previous blogs.
When selling your house, a garden room may be a selling point. In fact, according to some real estate experts, a well-designed garden room can boost your home’s value by 5% to 15%. Prospective buyers will be more interested in the usefulness that a garden cabin offers because work from home is here to stay, which makes it simpler for them to make a selection. The price of a garden room will vary depending on its size, quality, and location, among other things. You may anticipate a big rise in the overall value of your house when you have a garden room that is skilfully designed and constructed.
Our insulated garden rooms are a great alternative because, unlike conventional seasonal garden constructions, they can be used all year long. A purpose-built garden room adds value to your property and your life by offering a dependable, year-round place that is an addition to your home. Wooden summer homes and sheds are only ideal throughout the summer months, especially when the Irish summer’s can be prone to the cold. Our insulated garden rooms offer a warm space from the cold in the winter and a cool haven from the heat in the summer. In addition to all of our garden rooms being insulated, we offer a range of tips and tricks to ensure you can make the most out of your garden room all year-round.
Garden Rooms are adaptable areas that can be utilised for a variety of purposes. The choices are unlimited, whether you need a room for relaxation, a garden office, an entertainment area, a garden bar, a garden gym, or extra living space. But have you considered using it for several things at once? Read another one of our blogs on tips to creating your own perfect garden room bar.
Installing a garden room for dual or multiple purposes is simpler than you would imagine. We are available to provide guidance on building a multipurpose garden room, whether it be something you are thinking about during the design stage or you are thinking about how to best use the area following your garden room installation.
We believe installing an insulated garden room is absolutely worth it and after checking out another one of our blogs on how to make your garden room multi-functional, we are sure that you too will realise investing in a garden room opens you up to a world of opportunities.
This is one the main reasons as to why building a garden room has an advantage over building an extension and why garden rooms are worth it. Building an extension can be a long and tedious task, as it requires a lot of preparation, with architects and planning permission requirements.
When you commission an extension to your home, you will be required to pay for custom architectural design work and will likely need to receive planning permission for the construction. Our garden rooms rarely require planning permission, which is a major advantage of investing in a garden office rather than building an extension. However, there are a few exceptions where planning permission may be required, such as if you are planning on using the unit as a self-contained living area but again, one of our design experts will advise you through this. Check out our FAQ page, where we answer many questions regarding planning permission, maximum building sizes and building regulations.
The beauty of installation one of our bespoke garden rooms is that you have complete control of the design, without the restrictions of adding a certain size, shape or style of conservatory or extension. Garden rooms provide you the freedom to create the place of your dreams without the limitations that can come with adding an addition or a conservatory. A variety of opulent windows and doors, all made by our very own partner firm Total Home NI, can be installed in our garden rooms. Bi-fold, patio, sliding, and either composite or uPVC residential doors are just a few of the door options that come standard on all of our garden rooms. Find out why Bi-fold doors are ideal for your garden room and the difference in composite doors vs aluminium or composite vs pvc by clicking our links.
