Your home is completely unique to you, and we at SunSpaces want to keep it that way! We are one of the only companies in the UK who specialise in bespoke garden rooms; this means that instead of selling you a standard, 'off-the-shelf' product, we want to hear all about the ideas you have for your SunSpace so that we can help you to make those ideas a reality.
 
If you'd like to add a garden room to your property, here are some of the options that we can offer you:
 

Lots of different sizes and shapes

SunSpaces are built using a modular system that's almost infinitely customisable. We offer an extensive selection of standard sizes, but if you have something specific in mind, we'll be more than happy to discuss your ideas and provide a bespoke solution.

Your choice of colours

Our verandas and garden rooms can be supplied in practically any colour you like; we offer three colours as standard (Graphite Grey, Cream, and White) but if you'd like something a little more singular, we can use customised RAL colours to meet your requirements.

Top-quality flooring materials

How you floor your SunSpace is entirely up to you; however, we at SunSpaces can supply you with composite wood decking and/or porcelain paving slabs if either of these appeals to you. Both options are extremely low-maintenance, with a range of contemporary styles and colours to choose from!
 
TimberTech decking and PrimaPorcelain tiles

Optional accessories

We offer a huge range of accessories to complement our verandas and garden rooms, including heaters, LED spotlights, coloured sun shades, gutter covers, and a choice of roofing materials.

Anything else?

If you have any other garden room ideas that we haven't mentioned here, don't panic - we'd still love to hear about them! To discuss your garden room project with a member of the SunSpaces team, please contact us now. You can also click here to request a FREE design for your SunSpace!

 Here at SunSpaces, we make it easy to purchase and install a stylish new veranda. Our sales team will help you through the entire process; our products are supplied with easy-to-follow assembly guides and instructional DVDs. We even offer a full installation service if you'd rather leave the job to the professionals. The only hard part is deciding how you'll decorate your new veranda. Fortunately, we can provide some assistance on that front, too. 

Design Ideas:

  • Add stylish flooring - Have you given any thought to the flooring material that you'll be using underneath your veranda? The SunSpaces team can offer a range of attractive options in this category - click here for information on our full range of products.
  • Buy Luxurious outdoor furniture - In order to get the most from your veranda, you'll want to add some furniture that will allow you to lounge, dine, and generally relax under that contemporary canopy.
  • Coloured shades and blinds - Add a splash of colour and keep the sun at bay with our attractive veranda sunshades! These can be supplied in a number of different colours - for example, the owner of the veranda pictured below chose red and white to match the cushions on their garden sofa.
  • Lighting - Create a soft and glowy or bright and beautiful atmosphere in your veranda using products from our lighting range.
 
 
These are just some of the veranda design options we can offer here at SunSpaces.

So you've decided to add a veranda to your property? Great choice! However, before we go any further, there's an important decision for you to make:
 

What Colour Veranda Should You Choose?

The colour of your garden veranda is a pretty crucial consideration, as it plays a huge part in determining the sort of impact that your new structure has on your property. If you're having trouble choosing the best colour for your veranda, perhaps we at SunSpaces can help...

 
 

Grey (Graphite/Aluminium)

This is an elegant yet modern option that's perfect for a variety of different gardens. We'd recommend this colour option to anyone who's after a striking, cutting-edge effect for their property. Our Graphite Grey verandas have a sleek, contemporary look, and they're best accompanied by similarly sleek and contemporary furnishings; if your tastes are a little more traditional, you may prefer...
 
 
 

Traffic White/Cream

 ...a light-coloured veranda instead! Our white and cream options are still exceptionally modern-looking, but these colours are better-suited to rustic/traditional surroundings than the slick Graphite Grey option. White/cream may be a good choice if there's not a lot of light in your garden - a beautiful white veranda could be just what your outdoor space needs to feel that little bit brighter on grey, gloomy days!
 
Of course, if neither of the above options appeals to you, our verandas are also available in a huge array of bespoke RAL colours - which will you choose?
 

At SunSpaces, we are truly committed to providing our customers with the best service possible, as well as taking on new challenges and exploring less commonly requested ideas. While the quality of our products alone is a reflection of our high standards and commitment to customer satisfaction, we also offer a fully bespoke service to all of our clients, giving us a distinct advantage over other garden room providers.

 
While the components used to create other types garden rooms often come in standardized sizes, we are able to tailor our range to the specific requirements of our customers, allowing them to create a garden room that fits in perfectly with the rest of their property. This comes as welcome news to many of our customers, particularly those with limited space or unusual dimensions, who have previously found it difficult to find a service which meets their needs.
 
 
If you visit one of our showrooms or contact us over the phone, we will be able to discuss all your design ideas and specifications in detail, before providing you with a free design image of your bespoke garden room to help inspire the project. We will also be on hand to guide you through the project, either by providing you with advice if you choose to complete the installation yourself or by employing our specialist team to install your new garden room for you.
