Insulated Garden Room with Open Seating Area

Insulated Garden Room with Open Seating Area

First Published: 12 August 2022

Reading Time: 2 minutes 25 seconds

Creating a garden room that combines a highly insulated, indoor space with an open-sided seating area has grown significantly in popularity over the past few years. The Red Tarn range by Bridge Garden Rooms is an excellent example of this flexible indoor-outdoor design, offering a comfortable, all-weather garden room alongside a relaxing, covered seating area that connects seamlessly with the outdoors.

Stylish and Functional Design: The Red Tarn Garden Room

Bridge Garden Rooms recently shared a customised Red Tarn project tailored to meet their client’s exact specifications. The result is a striking, modern garden room that looks just as impressive during the day as it does at night, thanks to carefully integrated LED lighting that illuminates both the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The main room is designed for year-round comfort, built with a highly insulated SIPs core and a multi-layer wall system that maintains the temperature in every season. One standout feature is the corner glazing with double-glazed sliding doors, which flood the room with natural light and create an open feel. A tall, narrow window on the front wall captures a carefully framed view of the garden, providing a visual connection to the main house. This style of ‘glimpse window’ is an excellent way to incorporate natural light and garden views without compromising privacy.

Interior Finishes That Feel Like Home

Bridge Garden Rooms complete the interiors of their insulated garden rooms to a high standard, making them feel just as comfortable as a new build house. With plastered and decorated walls and ceilings, plus durable laminate flooring, the space is ready for use right away and requires minimal maintenance.

Durable and Attractive Exterior with Cedar Cladding

The Red Tarn garden room’s exterior is clad in Western Red Cedar, chosen for its durability and natural beauty. Cedar is among the most robust cladding options, providing long-lasting protection from the elements and a rich, warm appearance that blends well with most garden settings.

The team also pays close attention to the detailing of the outdoor seating area, cladding the rear wall and undersides of the roof canopy to create a cohesive look. Exterior-grade LED lighting is installed throughout, enhancing the usability of the outdoor space well into the evening, making it perfect for socialising or relaxing after dark.
