We built this lowlander 2 for an Edinburgh-based professional artist, was looking for a practical but stylish home studio. She needed a solution quickly and had an architect friend draw up initial plans for a studio annexe. She realised however that hiring a company specialising in this sort of build would likely be more efficient and contacted JML Garden Rooms after researching options online. We carried out all services required by the client, including site clearance, groundworks, manufacture, supply and erection of the garden room. From the date of her initial enquiry, we were handing over the keys to her completed garden room within two months. Photography: Phil Wilkinson Photography

You wouldn’t recognize this two car garage if I showed you the shape it was in before the Global Garage of NJ crew got to work on it. This job was particularly rewarding because it was a complete remodel. First our painters came in to tape, spackle and paint the walls and ceiling. Once they were done we installed our polyaspartic concrete coating in the most popular blend, 1/4″ Rainbow trout….but with a twist. Normally we would use a grey base coat with this chip blend. In this case the homeowner wanted a warmer less bright feel so we used a tan base and the results were tremendous! The floor turned out beautiful. The floor was installed in one day and the very next day we started the install of the garage cabinets. On the north wall of the garage the home owner chose to install a work bench set up with a slotwall backsplash as well as tall storage cabinets. All built around their existing refrigerator. On the west wall of the garage we installed 5 open cabinet units to house the homeowners golf clubs. Atop the open cabinets are 16″ cabinets to store golf shoes, golf balls and other accessories. The cabinets are flanked by slotwall as well. Slotwall was also installed on the east wall to organize garden tools, snow shovels and ladders.

Modern Turquoise Shed and Granny Flat Design Ideas

Granny flats and sheds have come a long way in terms of design. No longer just a place to store infrequently used items or a spare bed, they are now highly sought after spaces that, in many cases, resemble a small, well-maintained home. A modern garden shed can be an extension of your house, providing more living space for your family, or it can be a home office or creative studio. Many homeowners also see the benefit of building a separate structure in their backyard as a means for rental income.

What else can I use my granny flat for?

With so many modern granny flat designs on offer, you really can use this area for virtually anything, from outdoor storage to accommodation. Livable sheds and granny flats are a great way to provide teenagers with some level of independence, while keeping them nearby and allowing them to save money. They’re also an alternative to supported care for elderly family members. Relatively cheap to construct, a backyard granny flat can make you some extra money, too, should you want to rent it out, or move in yourself and rent out your main house. Those with a hobby such as painting, music or woodwork may prefer to use the space to pursue their passions, while others whom work from home could use the backyard studio as their home office.

What should I consider when planning a garden shed, granny flat or studio?

Different locales have different requirements for outbuildings such as sheds, granny flats and studios. In most cases, where the shed, granny flat or studio has running water, cooking or sanitary facilities, it will require building consent. Other considerations include the height of the building, its distance to boundaries, maximum floor space and stormwater drainage. If you're turning it into a fully developed space, make sure it complies with local ordinances and has enough ventilation, light and insulation for seasonal temperature changes. In terms of modern decor, approach decorating this space as you would any other room in your house. If you are creating an extension of your home, you can either stick to your current interior style or do something completely different since this is a detached space. With space at a minimum, layout is also crucial. Built-ins are a saving grace where space is tight, while wall-mounted items such as bikes and garden tools will also save you lots of floor space. You could even incorporate overhead ceiling racks for seasonal and infrequently used items.
