If you have a much-neglected garden shed that you want to renovate, you have come to the right place. Many family homes have outhouses that are generally used for storage of old furniture, gardening equipment, and even children’s toys that don’t get used any more. What many people don’t realise, though, is that their shed holds huge opportunities for adding value to their home, as well as adding enjoyment to their lives! Your shed is an awesome asset to your home that should be treated as such.
Turn your shed into a mini gym!
During the coronavirus pandemic, all of us learned how to work out at home rather than at the gym. You might have followed YouTube tutorials or hired an online trainer; whatever you did, you might have got into the habit of home workouts, and may even prefer them. If you are dreading going back to the gym but want to stay fit, you could turn your shed into a mini workout space. By clearing out the shed, cleaning it thoroughly, installing some rubber matting and using supercast products to waterproof the cracks, you will have a perfect little workout space to use for years to come.
Use your shed as a chillspace for kids or adults.
We all need downtime, and even the family we love so dearly can become quite intense at times. Having a downtime space, or a chillspace, for either your kids or yourself, is never a bad idea. By stripping out your shed and adding some comfy furnishings like a beanbag chair, a bookshelf, or even a TV, you can turn your unused shed into the perfect hideaway for when you feel stressed out. This space can act as your refuge from the stresses of life, and can be ideal for people who want a little peace and quiet in their lives.
Make your shed into an efficient storage space.
You probably already use your shed for storage. It is likely that your shed is a little ramshackle, with dusty items piled up in the corner, and the idea of tackling it seems like the last thing you’d ever want to do! Well, not any more! By spending a day pulling out all the belongings in your shed and stacking them efficiently, you are likely to be able to store far more items in there. You may also discover that a lot of the items that have been sitting in your shed for years, are actually not useful to your home or family any more. In that case, you could even make money by selling these items, such as old furniture, online or to friends.
