GARDEN ROOMS

Greenacre Escape single door log cabin

Make your escape from your house with a garden office, gym, cinema room or my favorite idea, guest bedrooms! It suits when you dont have space in your house for guest bedrooms and also like the idea of not having to share bathrooms with visitors as your garden guest room can house everything they'd need.

Stick it close enough to the house that they don't feel kicked out, but far enough away that you maintain your privacy in your own home that is often lost when hosting overnight visitors.

The Greenacre Escape (just under €2,000 depending on size) pictured above may not be much to look at now, but surf through the Walton Garden Products website for other log cabin plans and find one to suit your needs. When decorating, use your imagination. Paint it dark green, the door yellow, the windows white and stick a trellis with climbing roses up the side and this room will look so cute and relaxing you'll be tempted to move into it yourself.

See Crane Sheds and Summerhouses gallery here for more ideas. What I like about these is that you can opt for a slate effect roof, making it look less like a shed and more like a haven.
