To spend time in a summer house on a sunny day is one of life’s little pleasures, and as we have all spent a lot more time at home over the past year and a half, there are more and more of us considering adding a summer house to our gardens. Some of us are looking to create a garden room purely for pleasure, while others want their summer house to fulfil a specific purpose – whether that is an office, a workout space, or a room for a hobby. Whatever type of summer house you’re considering, in this post we’re sharing some fabulous ideas, as well as answers to key questions that are often asked before summer house builds are undertaken.

Ideas For Your Summer House

Piles of blankets, cushions and maybe even a built in sky light to see the stars from the bed – honestly, it sounds like a perfect summer house getaway to us!
