Garden houses have been around for a very long time. There are some log houses still standing today that date back over 800 years! Of course, nowadays we expect a few more mod-cons than medieval farmers. Still, one thing’s certain: the idea of a quaint wooden cabin surrounded by nature is just as appealing as ever.

Spending time in an eco garden room creates a sense of calmness, peace and solitude, helping us escape from the everyday hustle and bustle — if only for a few moments. If you’re still on the fence, take a look at our four reasons why a log cabin is a perfect addition to your garden and your life.
There are so many different ways to use an eco garden room. Home gym, garden bar, office, hobby room, wellness oasis… even a granny annexe — it’s up to you! Gone are the days when garden buildings housed nothing more than spades and spiders.
The extra living space you get from an eco garden room can make for perfect guest accommodation, or simply a tranquil retreat for you and your family. And as time passes and your family and work needs change, your log house can easily change too.
Protecting the environment is on everyone's minds these days, and rightly so. If you have a garden, you have an opportunity to contribute to caring for the natural world. Wooden garden houses are an eco-friendly, sustainable and healthy choice for you and the plants and animals you share your garden with.
Wood is a natural material, so it can be attacked by weather, mould, and wood-destroying insects in its untreated state.
Luckily, there are many high-quality, eco-friendly products on the market to keep your garden building protected from the elements, extending its life and reducing its environmental impact. We only use high-quality Nordic wood, so you can be sure your building will be sound and sturdy for decades to come.
Over time, every household accumulates its share of objects — things like wellies, waterproofs, paint cans and lawnmowers. Even though you might not use them every day, you still don't want to throw them away. An eco garden room can be the perfect storage space for all the annoying clutter that you don’t want in the house. Just move it outside, and create more space and a calmer living environment in your home again.
A garden house is a much cheaper and less stressful alternative to moving to a bigger home or even building a garage. And of course, it doesn’t even have to function as storage at all… log houses are as beautiful as they are functional, so they’re a great choice if you just want extra living space.
This also means a garden house increases the value of your property and makes it more attractive on the market. If you ever want to sell your house, prospective buyers will love the extra space or storage an eco garden room offers.
The use of natural wood creates a healthy indoor climate, which is a great advantage, especially for allergy sufferers. Wood absorbs unpleasant odours and pollutants from the air. The constant humidity and temperature in wooden buildings promote healthy mucous membranes. All this creates a perfect indoor atmosphere that also happens to smell as fresh as a pine forest. Bliss!
Your garden house can also be used as a home gym, yoga centre, spa room, meditation space — somewhere to relax and release the stress of the day. Whatever you choose to do with your new building, it’ll quickly become your favourite spot for sitting with a cup of tea and watching the sunrise — or set.
A garden house offers the ideal sanctuary for you to enjoy some peace, away from the hectic modern world. Whether you want to set up a small wellness oasis or a spot for family gatherings, the decision is yours. If you need a place to retreat, a garden house can serve as a perfect refuge. Kick off your shoes, unwind and discover new energy and inspiration. It truly is a holiday in your very own backyard!

Our Gardenhouse24 eco garden rooms stand the test of time. For millennia, people have chosen wood as the perfect material for withstanding whatever the weather throws at it. Tough, beautiful and welcoming, it’s no wonder people just can’t get enough of it!
Garden buildings have become an incredibly popular addition to many homes. And there’s good reason for that. They’re an excellent and pretty cost-effective way of giving you extra space without needing time-consuming extensions. In most cases you won’t even need planning permission for a garden building. For more information on planning permission restrictions, please see our guide to ‘How to build a garden room’.
Another great reason to get a garden room is that they are so versatile and can be used for just about anything you can think of! We’ve put together a list of ideas for inspiration.
Lots of people use their garden buildings for gardening and there are many glass filled options to promote healthy growing. Green-fingered owners can create their own personal safe haven, a place to escape the elements to plant and protect your blooms, a space of serenity and solitude where you can indulge in your beloved hobby without interruption.
Your space can be used all year round, so you can garden unlimited. If you are a serious gardener, consider choosing a purpose built greenhouse for your passion rather than redesigning the garden shed.
With so many more of us now working from home, a lot of people have been using their garden as a space for their home office. Is your indoor space all used up? Bedrooms all used? Spare rooms doubling up as playrooms or walk-in wardrobes? Communal areas provide little quiet, solitude or privacy eyes. It’s a predicament shared by many, so people have started to look outside for the quiet, tranquil workspace they need.
Working from a garden office is an excellent alternative to working from the dining table. It’s a dedicated workspace and a place that you can walk away from at the end of the day. We spend a lot of time at work, we should be doing it in a relaxed space that houses our ergonomic office chair!
Our garages used to be our workshops and all the equipment we needed for our DIY projects was kept out of the house. But as more and more houses extend into the garage, we need a new space to house our tools and projects. If you’re a DIY lover, you’ve probably got an extensive collection of tools that need to be stored, as well as a need of a space to complete your projects. A garden building is a great option. You can also add enhanced security measures to your garden building to make sure your expensive tools are safely out of sight and secure.
The home gym is another great feature that became more popular during the pandemic. Gyms were forced to shut down and regular gym goers had to find a way to continue! Exercise is addictive and people were really struggling without their regular routines. Workout equipment became a premium during the lockdown as households scrambled to recreate their fitness plan from their homes. Home workouts remain popular as people learned they saved a bundle in gym fees and travel expenses. And it gave them the gift of time! Even if your gym is only 15 minutes away, that’s 1.5 hrs of your week just getting there and back if you go 3 times a week. When you could have your own personalised fitness suite, all in the back garden.
Another victim of the nationwide lockdown was the restaurant and bar trade. As we were forced to stay home, we became more inventive with ways to adapt to a new normal. Those that missed the pub started re-creating them in their back gardens! Garden bars now provide a great social setting for entertaining. When hosting events, they are a great way to get people in the garden or away from the main rooms of your home. They are fun, inventive and can be personalised to suit you and your tastes.
You might not have space in the house to dedicate a room as a playroom for the kids. But if you did, it could honestly be life changing. No toys in their bedroom means no mucking around at bedtime. No more stepping on Lego in the living room or lounging teens taking it over. Don’t you just love the summer? Where you get to throw them all out in the garden to play? Well with a designated playroom in your garden, that can happen all year round.
For older children, it provides them with some privacy and space. A space where they can take their friends without taking over the house. It gives them a feeling of independence and helps to nurture and promote maturity. For younger children it’s a great way to provide them with a place to play, get the toys out and let their imaginations run wild without the stress of mess and noise levels disturbing the rest of the household.
