Garden Rooms with Covered Outdoor Seating Areas
On this page, we've gathered a range of projects featuring garden rooms with covered outdoor seating areas to give you ideas for extending your living space. Adding a side or front canopy to your garden room has become increasingly popular, creating a versatile space for seating, dining, outdoor kitchens, or even hot tubs.
The placement and depth of the covered area often depend on your available space and how you plan to use it. While side canopies are common, some designs place the covered area at the front of the garden room, forming an L-shaped layout. Explore the projects below to see how designers adapt these features to different settings.
Covered seating areas can feature solid walls for added privacy or open-sided designs with posts that create seamless flow into the garden. Some companies also include skylights, either open or glazed, so you can enjoy the outdoors even in less favourable weather.
In the evening, these spaces come alive with the option of integrated lighting. Many garden room companies offer exterior-grade LED downlights, with some systems allowing you to adjust lighting colours via your smartphone for a customised ambience.
Garden Room with Covered Outdoor Area Examples
You’ll notice in the examples below that designers often tie the covered seating area into the main garden room by using matching materials. Alternatively, some mix materials to create a striking contrast, using different colours or textures to highlight the design.
