1 Colour is King
A nice splash of paint
can work wonders and
there are so many colours
to choose from! If you
want something that
will blend in with your
garden a nice green or
stoney greige are great
options, or think outside
the box and harness a
beach-hut-vibe with a
statement colour like
purple or pink!
3 Plantastic
Surrounding any new
garden feature with plant
life will instantly make
it feel more at home
in your overall garden
design. Talk to your
landscaper to find a way
to make this work with
the rest of your garden
design.
6 a fresh Deck
For a contemporary look,
surround your outdoor
building with decking to
give it a sense of place
and make a natural area
to put your outdoor
furniture. If you want
to make the space extra
homely, try adding an
outdoor rug underfoot
as well.

Make it
Your Own
It may be a place to sit, a work or hobby space, or just to store
everything that needs a home. In any case, a garden shed can
often use some personalisation. The experts at Skinner Sheds
are sharing some fabulous shed makeovers to inspire a few
ways to spruce your own. skinners-sheds.com
7 Furnishing
touches
When working with
a smaller space your
furniture and accessory
choices need to be
practical but you can add
a lot of style here too. Go
quirky with gnomes and
funky printed cushions,
classically elegant with
metal work bistro sets
or do something else
completely your own!

8 It’s the Journey
Carefully plan out the
path that will lead you
to your garden shed. If
you want it to feel like
a county cottage you
could opt for a quaintly
winding stepping stone
path, while a more
modern look could
benefit from something
more ordered and
squared off like larger
stone slabs.

2 Lighten up
Simple fairy lights can
add a real spark of joy,
especially for summer
evenings spent in the
garden. Add lighting to
the ground and walls
if you like too, and
portable chargeable
lanterns can be lovely to
walk with from house to
shed – just add a hook
on a wall to give you a
place to hang it once you
get there.
4 Hang Out
There’s more than just
fairy lights that you can
hang from the roof –
wind chimes, signs and
bunting can all add a
little charm to your look
5 Make an
entrance
The door to a garden
building is still the
entrance to a building so
there’s no reason not to
decorate as you would
your front door. Add
a doormat, customise
the door handle, even
add a sign with a name
for it if you like!
