Planning a garden room project requires careful consideration of location, size, purpose, and budget. In this comprehensive guide, we share our 35+ years of experience to help you make the right decisions for your garden room project.

Choosing the Perfect Location

The location of your garden room is crucial for both functionality and aesthetics. Consider factors such as:

– Natural light throughout the day
– Privacy from neighbors
– Access to utilities (electricity, water)
– Ground conditions and drainage
– Planning permission requirements
– Views from both inside and outside the room

Determining the Right Size

Size considerations should include:

– Intended use (office, gym, studio, relaxation)
– Number of people who will use the space
– Furniture and equipment requirements
– Future needs and flexibility
– Garden proportions and available space
– Budget constraints

Design and Features

Modern garden rooms can include:

– Full insulation for year-round use
– Electrical installation and lighting
– Heating and cooling systems
– Custom storage solutions
– Large windows and bi-fold doors
– Sustainable materials and eco-friendly features

Planning Permission and Building Regulations

Most garden rooms fall under permitted development rights, but it’s important to check:
