Since the pandemic struck in 2020, many people have had to adapt the way they live and work at home. Many of us have had to create work areas in our personal spaces, with makeshift offices in bedrooms, kitchen corners and living rooms. Not only has this affected our productivity, but also our mental wellbeing, with switching between work and home life becoming increasingly more difficult! One of the best ways to accommodate this new working from home lifestyle is by creating a dedicated workspace with a garden room.

A garden room is a spacious living area situated in your garden, taking up as much or as little garden space as you want. At Hawksbeck Garden Rooms, each garden room is completely bespoke to your needs and aesthetic preferences, being made from the highest quality materials that last over 60 years! What could be your new office space for the next couple of years could become your exercise studio or cinema room once you no longer need your office space. Versatile, dynamic, and personal – a garden room is the height of home fashion in current times.

For your garden office there are many ways you can personalise your space, which is a unique benefit to having a garden room versus an office in your home. It is a known fact that productivity increases with natural light in office spaces, which can easily be made possible with the glazing options for your garden room. With bifold doors and fixed glazing panels, you can have as much, or as little, natural light entering your garden room as you like! There is no need to worry about your garden room heating up in the sun either, with structurally insulated panel’s providing the best insulation and the option of having an air conditioning unit inside too.

A garden room can enable you to put some space between your work life and home life, giving you a dedicated workspace that doesn’t need to be confused with any other space.

Making a distinction between the spaces you relax in and the spaces you work in is important for a healthy work-life balance, and something that is worth investing in! Your garden room can be fitted out for whatever you need for work – that can be electrical sockets for computers, mounted tv’s for video editing, or mirrored walls for those working in fitness. If you need a bathroom space or individual rooms, you can have this to, with a garden room being fully customisable to your needs.

Unlike many other construction projects, a garden room is quick to construct, being built in under 2 weeks! If you need more space quickly, a garden room is the perfect option for you, with minimal disruption to you and your family as it is constructed. It can add considerable value to your property, but more than this, it can give you the space you need to enjoy
working at home.
