A Flexible Space On top of this, the Studi is designed with double-glazed glassanddecorated with uPVCto create the ideal garden studio. It really is the cream of the crop! Office Space Is a durable building with a large internal space. The multi-room feature on the two larger sizes offers distinct spaces for you and your family to enjoy. The Kent Office has various features like double doors and an overhanging entranceway. Complete with Floor, Roof and Felt as standard.• The Dorset In a revealing video clip about the 1962 Chelsea Flower Showthe narrator describes the event as an ‘oasis of beauty in the heart of London’, naming carnations, sweet peas, giant delphiniums, orchids, begonias, rhododendrons, azaleas, and tree peonies as those among the ‘varieties of blooms’ that were on display in the Marquee. Contemporary garden rooms are usually sourced via specialist companies that tend to offer a full installation service, but you may need to find a reputable tradesperson to build an off-the-peg design. Having a power supply fitted will enable you to install lighting and run appliances – perfect when the sun goes down. Route power from your home or consider solar roof panels to provide electricity without the expense of cabling being installed around the garden.

Most of the companies we researched offered the same product in different sizes, with little option for individual needs or ideas. Adding sinks, showers or washing machines require a plumber to install a fresh water pipe running from your house to the garden building and a separate waste pipe running out again. How do you maintain a garden room? We spoke with industry experts Green Retreats who recently carried out a Q&A with some property specialists to understand whether garden rooms actually add value to a property, and the short answer is yes – garden rooms do add value: 'Garden rooms can add 1.5x their value to a home depending on the quality of the build, therefore covering the cost of the installation.' One of John’s sponsors in 1962 was the Cement and Concrete Association, and he used cement paving and boundary walls as well as cement structural pieces for his pergola. Concrete was a relatively new material for use in the garden, so the way John used them in his layout introduced the public to the possibility of using more affordable and modern materials in their gardens. In his memoir he humorously remembered that Permitted Developments allow you to add a single storey garden building to your property, provided it is under 2.5m in height (if within 2m from the property boundary), doesn’t exceed 50 per cent of the total land area around the house. Most importantly it must not be self-contained living accommodation.However, conservatories can be shaded by roof and window blinds or have solar-controlled windows to reduce glare and temperature or low-emissivity glass to avoid heat loss in a north-facing room. Installing underfloor heating will make the area more welcoming in winter. Use a glazed extension to expand your living space, or turn it into an area where plants take centre stage, then add chairs and a table to increase your enjoyment. A large garden room can work well as a kitchen-diner, offering a convivial space to entertain, or can be turned into a living room.

Among the many scenes of flowers and Princess Alexandra touring the Show, the only designed garden highlighted in the clip, described as ‘very much taking the eye was the garden of miniature roses’ created by Harry Wheatcroft ‘without whom the Chelsea Flower Show would seem incomplete’. To give you the best quality, our range of designs come with our 10-year guarantee. This provides protection against rot, decay, and insect infestation, making sure you have a building to rely on. Plus, a lot of our garden offices are available as pressure-treated models - a process which injects chemical preservatives into the wood. These have an extended guarantee of 15 years for over a decade of protection! Do We Offer Installation? A garden room used as a permanent bedroom would need planning permission approval and building regulation sign off. The beauty of garden rooms as an extension to your home is that they are cost-effective and hassle-free to have installed at your home. Planning permission is generally not required for a garden room because by design they fall within your permitted development rights (should you have them). The use of the building is a factor into your permitted development rights, and many councils state that using an outbuilding as accommodation is not allowed – unless planning permission and building regulations are passed.' John’s design depicted a garden for an imaginary townhouse that could be used as an extension of its indoor living space and challenged the traditional and prevailing views that a garden was all about the plants that it showcased. It was, instead, an outdoor room with multiple purposes. These models come with all the features you'd expect from a premium Garden Room Design. This includes efficient insulation materials, double-glazed windows, an allowance for an electrical connection, and loads of internal space for your office or studio. You'll also find wide-opening UPVc doors and a contemporary flat roof.
