Outbuildings can be transformed into functional, recreational, or work-related spaces to give your property extra room for activities. However you plan to use it, work with your general contractor to create the perfect space for you and your family. If you’re not sure how to make the most of this addition, here are a few ideas. 

What Are Some Ways to Use an Outbuilding?

1. A Retreat

Do you ever feel like you’d like to escape for a while? Turn your shed into an oasis by combining your favorite features and cultivating a lounge-like space. You can make it cozy with a soft couch, candles, and a bookshelf, or add some leather recliners and a TV or pool table. 

2. Play House

Encourage your child’s imagination by giving them a space to play in. You can create a front porch for tea time and let them keep their favorite toys inside. The creative space can be used for coloring, reading, playing with toys, and dancing around.

3. Home Gym

There’s no excuse to skip working out when you have your own gym. If you want to make fitness a priority, ask your general contractor to create a gym for you. You can use it for yoga, weightlifting, cardio, and circuit training.

4. Work Space

If you work from home, you may realize all the distractions that can keep you from being productive. Utilize the back shed as a home office to keep you focused and organized. Set up a desk, chair, coffee maker, and indoor plants.
