The garden house often leads a sad shadowy existence and serves solely as a practical storage room for garden tools and the lawn mower. It's actually a shame, don't you think? With a little craftsmanship, the house can become your absolute favorite place in the garden or a cozy second living room.
How can I make my garden house more attractive?
To beautify a garden shed, you can repaint it, add decorative wood or flower boxes, add a pergola or a garden path. In the interior, windows, attractive furnishings and accessories ensure coziness.
Fresh color for an attractive look
Although wood tones undoubtedly blend beautifully into the natural environment, over the years you can get tired of them. Since the paint on the arbor should be refreshed every two to three years anyway, nothing stands in the way of a modern color during the renovation. Whether you choose classic Swedish red (€16.00 at Amazon) or a white finish that goes wonderfully with the trendy shabby chic is entirely up to your creativity.
Attach decorative wood, flower beds or flower boxes
The garden house is often in a shady corner, surrounded only by lawn. If you include the hut in the garden design, it will look much more appealing and inviting:
- Attach brackets for boxes to the windows and plant them with flowers such as hanging geraniums, petunias, alyssum or cape baskets according to their orientation.
- Expand the garden house with a pergola that you cover with climbing plants.
- Decorative wood provides a natural privacy screen.
- A garden path that gently curves to the garden house invites you to use the house and its terrace regularly.
- Beds around the house look like colorful splashes of color and give the arbor the charm of a cottage.
Beautify the interior
- Installing windows provides additional light.
- An attractive interior with armchairs that invite you to read and relax creates a cozy atmosphere.
- If there is a water and/or electricity connection, you can integrate a mini kitchen.
- Accessories such as a cozy carpet, pillows, tablecloths, scented candles and potted plants create homely accents.
Tip
The garden furniture also creates coziness. You can choose between models made of polyrattan, wood or metal. Alternatively, a hammock or, in true southern style, rocking chairs with cuddly soft, cheerfully colorful cushions look great.
