A
garden room makes a fine addition to practically any property. If you're unsure as to whether or not a garden room could benefit your home, well, allow us to tip the scales a little - here are 5 great reasons to add one ASAP!
1. Extend your living space.
By adding a SunSpace to your property, you're effectively adding an extra room to your house. This room can be used pretty much however you please - for example, as a dining room, a lounge, a playroom for the kids, or something else entirely! The sky's the limit!
2. Get more from your garden.
If you live in Britain, your garden is probably a frigid no-go zone from October to March. A garden room will allow you to enjoy your outdoor space even in colder months - SunSpaces are usable practically all year 'round, as this diagram shows:
It's all the pleasure of being in the garden without the unpleasantness of being cold!
3. Save yourself the hassle of a conservatory.
Adding a garden room to your property achieves almost exactly the same effect as adding a conservatory, and yet a garden room is significantly more cost-effective than any conservatory or orangery. It's also easier to install - planning permission is almost never required, and all SunSpaces products are supplied with instructional DVDs that allow you to build your new outdoor retreat without any professional assistance!
(Of course, if you would prefer your garden room to be installed by a professional, we do offer a full installation service throughout the UK.)
4. Create more storage space.
Starting to run out of room in your house? No need for a clear-out - the addition of a SunSpaces garden room will increase your home's storage space significantly! And don't worry about your property going missing, because our sunrooms are exceptionally secure, with lockable doors and toughened glass to prevent break-ins. 5. Increase the value of your home.
If you ever decide to up sticks and move to a new home, you should find that your garden room noticeably increases the value of the property you're trying to sell. After all, what discerning home buyer wouldn't want the extra space and versatility afforded by a SunSpaces structure?

Stunning garden rooms deserve equally stunning furniture, don't you think? After all, a room is nothing until it's been furnished, and we at SunSpaces want to make sure that the garden room we give you is as good as it can possibly be!
That's why our service doesn't just stop with the SunSpace itself. We also have a great collection of garden room furniture to choose from, guaranteeing that every element of your new room will be of the same high standard as the structure itself. Our furniture is designed and produced by

All of their products are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, which means that you can take your garden room furniture outside without worrying about what might happen if the weather turns bad!
Our Alexander Rose garden room furniture collection was selected with appearance as well as practicality in mind. Each piece has a bold, contemporary design that nonetheless stays true to traditional British style; this means that, no matter what kind of look you're going for, the furniture we offer is sure to suit your needs.

Even if you're lucky enough to work from home, you probably spend most of the day sat at a desk (or, failing that, the dining table). But have you ever considered working outdoors? The fresh air, tranquil surroundings, and natural sunlight are almost certain to have a positive impact on your stress levels and general wellbeing, and this in turn will help you to be more productive during work hours.
If this is a route you'd like to explore, we at SunSpaces are eager to help. Our sunrooms and verandas make fantastic outdoor offices, allowing you to set up a fully-functioning workspace in your very own garden. It's hard to overstate the difference that a nice view can make, and it's nice to be able to look out over your lawn while you brainstorm your next big idea!
So, if you'd like to swap your current working environment for something like this...
...or this...
We offer two different types of structure here at SunSpaces:
garden rooms and
verandas. Both are appealing choices, albeit in slightly different ways, but which option is right for you?
That's the question we're aiming to answer with today's blog post. Below, we have listed three benefits of adding a garden room to your property, as well as three benefits of installing a veranda in your garden. Hopefully, these two lists will help you to make that all-important decision!
Garden Rooms...
- ...have walls to keep out the wind on blustery days.
- ...have windows and doors that can be opened on warmer days to let the sunshine in.
- ...can be locked securely, allowing you to leave your possessions inside without worrying.
Garden Verandas...
- ...provide shelter on rainy days without shutting out the fresh air.
- ...generally cost less than full garden rooms (although this depends on the design that you request).
- ...give you the feeling of being outdoors while offering protection from the elements.
