With a log cabin building in the garden you can extend your property and add extra living space to enhance your life. A log cabin is a useful and attractive addition to any home, providing life enrichment for all. Whether you are after a man cave, she shed or den for the children, a log cabin is a multi-functional building that is suited to a myriad of different uses.
A Home Office
Working from home has several advantages, such as no more lengthy commutes or dealing with nightmare traffic jams. This gives you precious time to spend at home with the family. It does have its challenges though, predominantly when it comes to maintaining the perfect balance. Building a separate home office in the garden is the ideal solution, as it is detached from the house.
A garden office provides a quiet place where you can work away from the distractions of home, and without risk of interruptions to your meetings. It also allows you to keep your important paperwork organised and secure. When the working day is finished, you can close the door of your office behind you and walk away. This gives a much needed escape from the stresses of work, and time out to relax.
A purpose built room in the garden could make it simpler for you to set up your own business premises. If you’ve always fancied opening a beauty salon or dog parlour, etc, a garden cabin gives the opportunity to fulfil your dreams and ambitions.
A Home Gym
Stay active and healthy with physical activities by setting up your own exercise equipment at home. A log cabin will give you plenty of additional floor space to workout, if you don’t have room in your house. It will also provide the ideal place for keeping often bulky, heavy equipment that may otherwise look a little unsightly inside the home.
Building your own home gym in the garden has other benefits too, like not having to deal with sweaty crowds of people. And if you feel insecure about your body or sporting ability, you will not be intimidated by others.
A gym on your doorstep also makes it more convenient for you to exercise at a time that suits you. Plus, you get rid of that nasty commute. It may even encourage you to exercise more often, as you can easily fit in a quick session before work, or while you wait for dinner to cook.
A Pub Shed
Enjoy your spare time entertaining friends and family by creating your own pub shed or garden bar. You can set up a pool table, darts board or television so everyone can come together and play, or watch big sporting events. For a happier balanced life, we all need times when we are able to have some fun.
A log cabin in the garden allows you to have social get togethers at the convenience of home, but without any of the associated mess. You can host a party, but still ensure your house remains clean and tidy by containing gatherings to the garden. With a garden building you can stay sheltered no matter what the unpredictable British weather throws at you. And you can partake in a couple of drinks without worrying about expensive taxi fares, or how you are getting home.
A Summerhouse
If you enjoy spending time outdoors, create your own garden retreat with a log cabin. You can build your own tranquil haven to relax in the comfort of your garden. Take some time out of your busy life for yourself, and recharge your batteries. This could prove beneficial to both your physical and mental wellbeing.
Sit out in the sun, unwind with a good book, or sip on a cocktail. Include some comfortable settees and soft furnishings for a cosy interior, as you take in the beauty of nature and your surroundings. Keep a lookout for interesting wildlife, and immerse yourself into the calming sights and sounds of the environment.
A Hobby Room
Make time for the things you want with your own specific hobby room where you can indulge in your favourite interests or pastime. Life cannot be solely focused on working, you need moments of enjoyment too. Having a log cabin in the garden is like having another room in the house. However you choose to use it is entirely your decision.
Use the space to complete arts and crafts projects, sewing, or as a photography studio or workshop. If movies are your passion, then a log cabin provides room to set up a dedicated home cinema. Settle down for a film night with friends, your partner or the family. And make sure you remember the popcorn and cinema snacks.
