Pitched roofs: adding a unique dimension to your garden room

Why a pitched roof is worth considering for a garden room, shown through Garden2Office’s Swedish buildings and the vaulted ceilings their roofs create inside.


Published 1 December 2017 · Updated 25 October 2026 · 1 minute read · Written by The Garden Room & Annexe Guide

Pitched roof garden room
Garden2Office  pitched roof garden room

Flat-roof garden rooms are highly popular as they can be placed close to your garden boundaries under Permitted Development rules. However, it’s worth considering pitched roof garden rooms as part of your research, as they offer unique benefits.

A pitched roof not only enhances the exterior appeal of a garden room but also creates an impressive interior space. The vaulted ceiling formed by a pitched roof provides a more open, spacious, and airy atmosphere, giving the room a grander feel compared to standard flat-roof structures.

At a glance

  • The trade-off: Flat roofs can sit close to the boundary under Permitted Development; pitched roofs give more height inside.
  • Inside: A vaulted ceiling that makes the room feel more open.
  • Design: Scandinavian clean lines and a minimal finish.
  • Range shown: The Malmo, inside and out.
  • Company: Garden2Office, who import insulated buildings from Sweden.
