Family Rooms
This page looks at a selection of garden room projects which were designed around the need for additional family space. These rooms tend to be multifunctional spaces catering for different uses from homework space to home cinemas.
Garden Entertaining Room with Cantilever Roof
This luxurious garden room by Swift Unlimited in Cheshire features a well-specified kitchen with premium appliances and dramatic bi-fold doors that open an entire corner. Its cantilever roof and seamless indoor-outdoor design offer year-round comfort for entertaining and relaxation.
Luxury Garden Room with Bespoke Detailing
Swift Unlimited recently completed a bespoke garden room project in Wimbledon, commissioned by clients who wanted a multipurpose space that could evolve with their family’s needs. The clients had a clear vision for the building they wanted to create, but the project presented challenges—including an irregularly shaped site. Planning approval also required the street-facing wall to be taller than the others and clad in brick to match a nearby farmyard wall and the local architectural style.
Garden Entertainment Hub
Guests invited to this garden room in Otley, West Yorkshire, are in for a treat, as an exceptional indoor-outdoor entertainment space has been designed and built by Heritage Garden Studios. The Heritage Garden Studios team worked closely with their clients to bring their vision of a garden entertainment hub, which also doubles as a peaceful retreat, to life.
Pool Room with Gym, Wet Room, Kitchen, and More
This pool room by Timber Rooms has a real WOW factor. It features a home gym with a wraparound corner of glazing, a main living space with a sleek kitchen, a spa-like wet room and a changing area for the pool. There is also space for practical pool equipment storage.
A Garden Playroom That Will Evolve with the Kids
A garden room playroom offers a delightful solution, blending the joy of indoor play with the benefits of being outdoors. It is a room that can grow with the children, easily becoming a homework room or a teenager’s den.
This 5m x 4m example by Cosy Garden Rooms demonstrates its versatility. The space is not just for the kids; their parents have also made room to add a sauna.
Garden Room Designed for Now and the Future
Swift Unlimited clients wanted to create a garden room that could be used as a home gym, office, and family space with a kitchen and shower room. They also wanted a room that could be used as a physio treatment clinic in the future.
Shou Sugi Ban Garden Room
Garden room with discreet storage by Rustic Realities that is clad externally with Shou Sugi Ban timber that looks good and is highly durable.
The garden room has primarily been designed as a den for the owners son to setup his computer and enjoy time with friends.
A Garden Room: An Alternative to a House Extension
If you are considering adding an extra room to your house, your initial thought might be to construct a house extension. However, this process can be time-consuming and disruptive, requiring coordination with multiple companies. In contrast, standalone insulated garden rooms have emerged as a viable alternative, offering a quicker solution where you work with a single company managing the entire process. Additionally, building a garden room typically results in significant cost savings compared to adding a house extension.
Cosy Garden Rooms recently provided a comfortable sitting room for clients who required additional space. This solution was particularly ideal when the option of building a house extension proved too costly and complex.
An Angled Corner Softens a Garden Studio
Working with Ark Design Build is a collaborative process. When their client in Tunbridge Wells suggested adding an angled wall to soften the building, they were happy to incorporate it into their designs. As we can see, the garden room blends seamlessly into the elegant garden.
