A shed can be much more than just a shed. We’ve said several times before on other pages around the site that we might be called Custom Sheds on Hwy 10, but we offer a wide variety of custom outdoor buildings, not just sheds. That’s truer than you might even realize. Not only do we sell custom sheds, barns, cabins, carports and garages, but those custom outdoor buildings can be used for much more than just storage, as the name might suggest. Customization is our number one priority, and we want you to express your creativity when coming to us with a plan. So today, we thought we’d give you a glimpse into the possibilities, by highlighting 5 creative ideas for your custom shed that go beyond traditional storage solutions. We hope to help you reimagine your outdoor space and make the most of your custom shed investment.

 

These days more people are permanently working from home than ever before, and one of our custom buildings could be the perfect way to create your own separate office space. Create a tranquil and productive workspace by converting your custom shed into a home office or art studio. With natural light, privacy and a dedicated space for creativity, your shed can become a sanctuary for work and inspiration.

A greenhouse isn’t the only way to have an indoor garden. While you might not be able to grow as wide a variety inside, you could turn your custom shed into a cozy garden retreat. Fill your shed with indoor plants and grow herbs in window planter boxes. It’s less about the garden and more about the retreat. You can relax, read a book or enjoy a cup of tea surrounded by nature. Add comfortable seating and soothing decor to create a peaceful oasis in your backyard.

Do you use your backyard to entertain guests? What better way to elevate the experience than by adding a custom outdoor building transformed into a stylish kitchen or bar. Install countertop space and shelving, an island atop which you can place some hot plates or a grill, a large open window to talk to your guests and seating outside to create a functional and inviting space for hosting gatherings and enjoying al fresco dining.

Fitness is incredibly important to your health, but so many of us can’t find the time or energy to go somewhere else to work out surrounded by strangers in an uncomfortable environment. Whether you use heavy equipment and weights or prefer yoga and free space, you could definitely build a fitness or yoga studio out of a custom shed. Equip the space with exercise equipment, mats and mirrors to create a dedicated area for workouts and relaxation with privacy and peace.

Do you have a family and find yourself in need of a dedicated place for your kids to have fun? It’s hard to beat a separate playhouse, for you as well as for the kids. The kids will love having their own, separate place where they can have fun and be themselves, while you’ll free up some space in the house for peace and quiet. Add colorful decor, toys and games to encourage imaginative play and outdoor adventures right in your backyard.

 

These are just the first five ideas we managed to come up with, so the possibilities are nigh endless. We’ll be sure to pop in with even more ideas for you in case none of these fit the bill, but hopefully we’ve jump started your creative juices. If you’ve got questions or think you’re ready to bring your idea to life, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We can’t wait to get started!
