Contemporary Garden Rooms

2nd February 2024

Contemporary Garden Rooms

Trying to get more space from your garden? Well, you’re in luck! Contemporary garden rooms are the stylish solution to run-down sheds and dated summer houses by offering a modern living space to work, play or relax from.

At Green Retreats, not only do we design, create and install these wonderful contemporary garden rooms, but we’ve been doing so for nearly 20 years, so we know a little thing or two when it comes to revamping garden landscapes.

What makes our garden rooms contemporary?

Well, to start with, their design has been meticulously crafted to reflect the modernity of today’s architecture. Whether that’s with dynamic striking lines or rounded soft edges, we’ve always got something in our garden room range that constantly keeps up with modern architecture trends.

Additionally, our contemporary garden rooms are designed with industry-leading materials, specifically chosen to create a visually striking building while boasting excellent structural integrity.

Contemporary garden rooms combine these features to create striking and modern addition to your garden that can be used all-year-round just like any room in your house!

 

BENEFITS OF A CONTEMPORARY GARDEN ROOM
  • Fully insulated for use all year round
  • Detached from the house for noise control and privacy
  • Adds value and more cost-effective than a home extension or alternative
  • Options to personalise to your style

 


 

5 Contemporary Garden Room Ideas

…our top recommendations to create a modern garden building! 

 

1. Opt for graphite flashes

Nothing speaks contemporary design more than striking black or graphite flashings on a garden building. These more sharp and dynamic lines on modern garden rooms look great in contemporary garden landscape designs, but can also add contrast to a more traditional country garden setting.

2. Go large with doors and windows

Similar to how we’ve seen the trend of people connecting their homes to gardens with bifold doors, you can do the same with modern garden rooms to really bring the outdoors in by going maximalist with glass! This works especially well with garden bars and garden games rooms to create an even bigger alfresco entertaining space.

3. Distinct features to stand out

Make your garden room stand out from the crowd of traditional garden buildings with unique and contemporary features like the curved corner of our TGO4 garden building design, and the slatted side screens of the TGO1 garden building, that can be featured on one or both sides.

If you’re looking to go all out, our Expression and TGO1 building designs can have an added garden room canopy, great for hot tub shelters or a shaded dining area.

4. Modern upgrades

Give your contemporary garden room building the luxury edge by opting for upgrades like air conditioning which offers complete temperature control, deck and hood lights to add detail, or even our plastering pack which will further help your new space just feel like any other room in your house!

5. Composite cladding

Let your contemporary garden room style shine through from the outset by creating a garden building with composite cladding.  Our composite cladding is second-life, made from completely recycled materials, providing a contemporary finish with stunning colour that requires no maintenance. A must have for modern garden rooms!
