If you're thinking of adding one of our garden rooms to your property, you'll probably want to see a few pictures before you make your mind up. Here are some choice snaps from the SunSpaces photo gallery:
Here's an elegant image with which to get the ball rolling - the
sliding glass walls give this room a seamless and modern look that's very appealing indeed.
Of course, you don't have to have sliding walls if you don't want to - this
fixed panel garden room looks exceptionally stylish in its own right, giving its owner a comfortable, attractive place in which to sit and survey the garden proper.
If you so desire, your garden room doesn't even have to be attached to your house. Our
detached garden rooms make spectacularly modern standalone features, and you may find that, by distancing your SunSpace from the property itself, you create for yourself a peaceful retreat where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of domestic life.
Everything you need to know about our gorgeous Garden Rooms!
We think that our Garden Rooms largely speak for themselves; easy to build and even easier on the eyes, they make a wonderful addition to any property and enable you to spend much more time in your outdoor living space.
However, we appreciate that you may have a few questions to ask before you commit to purchasing a Garden Room of your own, and we'd like to do whatever we can to answer them and put your mind at ease. To that end, here are the answers to some the questions we're always being asked...
Q: What is a garden room?
A: A garden room is an outdoor structure that can be either be built against the outer wall of your property or
detached as a standalone feature. Our garden rooms are available with either
sliding walls or
fixed panels; either way, your garden room will allow you to get a lot more from your outdoor space, keeping you warm, dry and comfortable even when the weather is bad.
Examples of our garden rooms
Q: What's the difference between a garden room and a veranda?
A: Simply put, a garden room has walls/windows while a veranda is open-sided. Click below to learn more about our verandas.
Q: Can I install a SunSpaces Garden Room myself?
A: Yes! Our Garden Rooms come with instructional DVDs and clear assembly guidelines, so you should find it easy to construct your new extension without any professional help. However, we do have an in-house
installation team who will be more than happy to do the work for you if that's what you'd prefer.
Q: Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
A: No, except in certain circumstances. As a general rule, planning permission is only required if you live in a conservation area or listed building, or if your garden room would cross a property border. You may wish to check with your local planning authority before purchasing a garden room, just to make sure.
Q: What sizes are available?
A: Our Garden Rooms come in a number of 'standard' sizes, but we can provide bespoke solutions if your project goes beyond our usual dimensions. Feel free to contact us below for further details.
Q: What colours do SunSpaces offer?
A: We offer three colours as standard: Graphite Grey, Cream, and White. A wide range of alternative RAL colours are available for a small additional charge.
Q: How much does a Garden Room cost?
A: This depends on the size of your garden room, as well as on several other variables. Email

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?

Eating outdoors is great, but it's not without its drawbacks. Insects can pose a big problem, with flies and - worse still - wasps threatening to ruin your dinner at a moment's notice. Then, of course, there's the weather; no matter how sunny it is when you sit down to eat, rain can never be relied upon to keep away for long. Many an outdoor meal has ended with everybody involved running indoors, struggling to shelter their half-eaten steaks from the sudden downpour!
If you want to get the outdoor dining experience without worrying about pests and precipitation, a garden room from SunSpaces could be the answer. Here are a few reasons why:
Our outdoor dining rooms...
- ...provide shelter from unexpected bad weather
- ...allow you to use indoor-only dining furniture
- ...keep insects out without ruining the view
- ...can be opened up to let the sunshine in during warm periods
