The humble garden shed, traditionally used for storage or tinkering, has become one of the most versatile structures in Australian backyards. Its potential in the hands of a creative homeowner is simply endless. Whether you are in the leafy suburbs of Cottesloe or fringing the Swan River in South Perth, a custom-made shed can add great value to your home. Here, we explore a few creative uses of these bespoke structures.
Backyard Workplace
As the world increasingly embraces remote working, there’s nothing quite like having a private office right in your backyard. A custom shed can be transformed into a home office, where you can focus on bolstering your professional life without the interruptions of daily home activities. Equip it with high-speed internet, an ergonomic chair and a desk, and you have the perfect secluded spot to meet your deadlines.
Artist’s Studio
Artists are known for requiring solitude during their creative process. Transforming your shed into a personal art studio could be the perfect solution. The shed can be custom-designed, incorporating large windows for natural light, shelving for art materials, and space for large canvases or sculptures. Imagine being able to step into your backyard and having instant access to your creative sanctuary.
Home Gym
With gym memberships becoming costly and our schedules increasingly busy, a home gym has become an attractive option for fitness enthusiasts. A custom shed is a perfect place to create a private workout zone. Depending on your fitness regimen, you could equip your shed with weights, treadmills, stationary bikes, or even yoga mats.
Cosy She-Shed
Inspired by the concept of man caves, “She-Sheds” are fast becoming popular among Australian women. It can be a retreat spot, a personal space where women can indulge in their hobbies, read, or simply relax. Outfit your custom shed with plush furniture, mood lighting, and a mini-fridge stocked with your favourite bubbly, and create a haven for yourself.
Music Studio
If you’re musically inclined, a backyard shed can become a fantastic music studio decked out with acoustically sound insulation, offering you a practice area without disturbing the neighbours. It can also double as a space to store your instruments and equipment safely.
These are just a handful of examples that show the versatility of custom-made sheds in your Perth backyard. At The Shed Man, we can tailor your shed to your liking, so contact us to find out more about how to make the most of your backyard.
