Julia Fairley
Julia FairleyOctober 3, 2022
Chief Sub-Editor and Writer, Houzz Australia and New Zealand. I love design and architecture that is thoughtful, sophisticated and champions an element of the unexpected. Before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts at UNSW and becoming a journalist, I studied interior architecture. For over a decade I have interviewed inspiring creative minds from around the world to write about design in its many different forms. Recently, I have also become an accidental gardener, to everyone's surprise.

The humble garden shed hides all manner of uglies, from muddy spades and lawnmowers to the less-than-pleasant fragrance of fertiliser. If your shed is in need of some TLC, or if you need to include an outdoor storage space for gardening tools and bulky equipment, let these 20 schemes inspire you.

And remember, you can get more details of a project and see more of a professional’s work, including their contact details, by clicking on an image.
