The way we live and work has changed over the last year. Due to the pandemic, many of us have found ourselves working from home which has highlighted the need to have a dedicated workspace, somewhere we can switch off from our homelife and concentrate on work without distractions. Not all of us are lucky enough to have a spare room in our home to have an office set up which leaves us having to find other ways to create our dedicated workspace.

Here are some ideas why a garden office could be a good solution.

Increase floor space

Adding an extension or loft conversion to your home is a big project which can be disruptive and inconvenient. Especially if you are working from home. Adding in a garden office is an easy way to increase your floor space and can be built in as quick as a couple of days. This option is also a fraction of the cost of adding an extension or loft conversion.

A better work-life balance

I think this one is a big one. Being able to have a good work-life balance, especially when you are working from home is important. Having a garden office will mean you can close your door to your home life and step into your ‘work environment’ for the day. At the end of your working day, you can switch off work mode and easily step back into your home and relax.

Add value to your property

Adding a garden office such as one from Modern Garden Rooms UK is a good investment as it can increase your property’s value. In some cases, it can add between 5-15% value to your home.

Eco-friendly

Having a home office and working from home will reduce your daily commute, therefore reducing your carbon footprint as it will reduce the amount of pollution your car will be contributing to the outdoors.

Garden office benefits

The outdoor garden office has become an essential element of the modern office setup. The great thing about a garden office is that it can easily integrate with the outside surroundings. Garden offices are well known for providing a relaxing and private working space that allows you to set up the best of both worlds, an environment where you can work, relax and also have privacy. They also allow you to escape the bustle of your home and open up to your surroundings. You are able to open up your windows to let in the fresh air and take in the beautiful surroundings that nature has to offer.
