19th March 2026

SmartSpaces garden rooms are versatile spaces suitable for the whole family.

Whether you are looking for a playroom for the children or a dedicated workspace for yourself, a garden room is the perfect solution.

A stylish garden room will not only enhance your family life but also increase the overall appeal of your home and boost your property’s appeal to prospective buyers when you decide to move on.

Read on to discover the five top reasons for installing a garden room in your outdoor space.

A garden room could add value to your home

Additional space to your home is always an investment, but installing a garden room may be one of the best investments you ever make.

A garden room is a cost-effective way to add space and will boost the value of your property when you decide to move on.

A well-designed garden room will excite potential buyers by increasing usable square footage and enhancing the appeal of your outdoor space.

Garden rooms are a cost-effective way to add extra space to your home

Installing a high-quality garden room is an easy way to create additional space for your home life or provide a home office from which you can run a business. We offer a range of designs and a bespoke garden room service to help you create a garden room that perfectly suits your requirements.

With a build time of around a week, a SmartSpaces garden room is less disruptive to your everyday life and cheaper than a bricks-and-mortar traditional extension.

Despite its speedy construction, your garden room will be a robust structure, built with durable materials, high levels of insulation, and double-glazed windows.

We are so confident in the quality of our work that every garden room comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Garden room offers flexible space for a range of purposes

A garden room offers a versatile space. Whether you are looking for a dedicated space for hobbies or a multi-functional space for a variety of activities, you can create a garden room that fits the bill.

Popular uses of our garden rooms include:

Garden gym

A garden gym is great for health and fitness as you will be able to work out whenever you like in your own garden. You won’t need to worry about travelling to the gym, finding parking, or waiting to use your favourite piece of gym equipment.

Hobby room

Few homes have storage space for the paraphernalia used in many hobbies. A garden room would be a perfect place for a train set or a pool table.

Art Studio

You can design your window configuration for your garden room, adding as much glazing as you like to let in plenty of natural light and making a perfect space for an art studio.

Yoga studio

A cosy garden room makes the perfect relaxing retreat for yoga or meditation away from the bustle of home life.

Extra living space

Adding a garden room could create an independent living space for a young adult or a senior relative.

Summer house

A garden room in a beautiful garden offers a tranquil space from which to contemplate your horticultural efforts.

The benefits of creating a garden office

Many of our clients choose to install a garden room to use as a home office.

If you are working from home, it can be hard to find the space and peace to work effectively away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

A dedicated garden office, a few steps from your own back door, is the perfect solution.

A SmartSpaces garden offers year-round comfort in a cosy space thanks to its robust build, double-glazed windows, and superior insulation.

No need for planning permission

The average garden room can be built within your permitted development rights and will not require planning permission.

If you are planning an extremely large outdoor room close to a boundary, or you plan to run a business that will require clients to visit your garden office, you may need planning permission.

However, for the majority of our customers, no permission is required, and they can enjoy all the benefits of this garden room after a simple, straightforward installation.
