LET ’ S GO OUTS IDE

Peace and Violets ESCAPE FROM THE BUSTLE TO A

The garden shed has long been a focus of creativity; a retreat away from the pressures of daily life where you can solidify your thoughts. Writers and artists such as Roald Dahl and Jackie Morris swore by escaping into theirs to dream up their work. The garden studio is the obvious upgrade, with designs to fit everyone: arts and crafts, game rooms, yoga studios, music rooms, workspaces, annex accommodation and bars can all be inserted. Even partitions to create space for a potting shed could be incorporated, allowing you to truly cultivate your own sanctuary. To those yearning for extra headspace, these garden wonders may be the perfect working-from-home solution. If this sounds blissful, check out the work of local company Garden Room Designs, which specialises in cosy, comfortable outdoor rooms, conservatories and orangeries. Their website is filled with inspiration, and there’s no need to worry about winter frost. The garden studios are grown from the ground up and, with hardy insulation, keep warm in all weather. Cladding systems, including cedar and maintenance-free composite boarding, are twined around the exterior, while Garden Room Designs will work closely with you on all facets – from window styles, to the texture and colour of materials for achieving the MULTIPURPOSE GARDEN STUDIO, DESIGNED BY EAST ANGLIAN COMPANY, GARDEN ROOM DESIGNS
