The best part is \u2013 it\u2019s all good \u2013 because our garden rooms are completely bespoke and with a few tweaks to different fixtures, fittings and features, they will suit any idea pretty perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our completely bespoke garden rooms are just that \u2013 bespoke. They are entirely designed to suit all needs, and imaginations for that matter! We do the hard bits \u2013 we equip them with everything you could need \u2013 full insulation, plastering, electrical sockets, some even have Bluetooth heating \u2013 so your garden room is wholly suited to your budget, style, space and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh and here\u2019s the best bit. Garden rooms are made from shipping containers (which you\u2019ve probably gathered by now) meaning that if you ever decided you wanted it placed in a different area in your garden, this could be arranged. Perhaps you even decide to move to a new house? No problem, your garden room can be stuck on a truck and go with you! Chances are you might not even need planning permission for <a href=\"https:\/\/universal-containers.com\/news\/shipping-containers-on-private-land\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/universal-containers.com\/news\/shipping-containers-on-private-land\/\">placing the shipping container in your garden<\/a> either \u2013 this applies to most container conversions if the building doesn\u2019t exceed 2.5m, but we\u2019d almost recommend double-checking with your local council just to be on the safe side!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Now we\u2019ve got the cogs in your head turning with ideas, we\u2019ll give you a few more. If you\u2019re considering a container conversion garden room, here are just a few things you could do with I (and a big thanks to our happy customers for the suggestions!)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 Garden&#8230; Office<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re self-employed (or even if you\u2019re not), sometimes you need that quiet space away from home to really concentrate on your to-do list and be as productive as you possibly can. A garden office is the perfect solution: not only would you have a dedicated space but you\u2019d be as close to home as you possibly could be, so you could leave and return to work at the drop of a hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 Garden&#8230; Studio<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you fancy yourself as a bit of an artist or the likes, maybe a <a href=\"https:\/\/universal-containers.com\/container-conversions\/studio\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/universal-containers.com\/container-conversions\/studio\/\">garden studio<\/a> is right up your street? Garden studios can be designed to incorporate beautiful sliding windows and doors so that your lighting will be exceptional, not to mention you\u2019ll have the space to really get creative without worrying about the Feng Shui of your living room!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 Garden&#8230; Gym<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not always easy working out in the house when the dog keeps weaving in and out of your legs and the kids are switching the channels. A <a href=\"https:\/\/universal-containers.com\/container-conversions\/gym\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/universal-containers.com\/container-conversions\/gym\/\">garden gym<\/a> could be just the job to escape, sweat it out and gives you the peace of mind that you can eat that sneaky bit of chocolate knowing you only have to nip to your garden to burn off the cals. Winner winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 Garden&#8230; Summer House<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, you just want a bit of extra wiggle room. A safe place for the teenagers to hang out without the \u2018uncool\u2019 parents hovering around them? An indoor living area for when the Summer BBQ gets temporarily rained off? A Summer house is not just a space saver, it can be a life saver too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 Garden&#8230; Play Room<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s lovely to let the kids out to play in the street or where ever, but ideally, you\u2019d prefer the nippers to have their own secure space where they can play and have fun whilst you\u2019ve got peace of mind of where they are and what they\u2019re doing \u2013 garden playroom. Need we say more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#6 Garden&#8230; Man Cave<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potentially our favourite suggestion to date. Sometimes, the blokes need a space to whack on the Playstation, crack open a few cans and do the manly stuff men do. We\u2019re not being biased, but think about ladies, this means you get the WHOLE HOUSE to yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We\u2019re being commissioned for lots of different garden rooms projects this year already, and this list can be pretty exhaustive so if we\u2019ve missed something, let us know.
