When it comes to designing your dream garden room, size really does matter – but perhaps not in the way you think. At Hawksbeck Garden Rooms, we believe the perfect garden room is not necessarily the biggest, but the one that’s best suited to your lifestyle, space, and future plans. Whether you’re creating a serene home office, a fitness studio, or a multifunctional family retreat, getting the size right is crucial for long-term satisfaction.
Start With Your Purpose
The best starting point is to consider how you’ll use your garden room. A compact garden office may only need enough space for a desk, chair, and some storage. But if you’re planning to host yoga classes, set up a home cinema, or build a self-contained guest room with a bathroom, you’ll need significantly more space and a layout to match.
Be realistic about your needs and think ahead. You might want to start small, but if you anticipate growing your business or using the room for multiple purposes, investing in a slightly larger footprint now could save money and hassle later.
Assess Your Garden Space
Next, look at the space available. Garden rooms come in all shapes and sizes, and at Hawksbeck, we create bespoke designs tailored to your garden and lifestyle. Take note of boundaries, trees, access points, and sun exposure. You don’t want a room that dominates your outdoor space, but you also don’t want something that feels cramped or isolated.
If you’re concerned about planning permission, our experienced team can advise. Many of our buildings fall within permitted development rights, but the placement and size can make a difference, especially if you’re near boundaries or planning plumbing.
Consider Comfort and Functionality
While it’s tempting to think a smaller room will be quicker and cheaper to build, it’s important to think about long-term comfort. You’ll want space to move freely, store items neatly, and accommodate any additional features like a kitchenette, sofa, or gym equipment.
Our insulated garden rooms are designed for year-round use, so the interior comfort will be consistent no matter the size – but the more room you give yourself, the more flexible your space becomes.
Tailored to You
One of the biggest advantages of choosing Hawksbeck is that every garden room is custom-built using premium materials and expert craftsmanship. This means you’re not limited to standard sizes or layouts – we design with your vision in mind.
Choosing Hawksbeck Garden Rooms
Choosing the right size garden room isn’t just about square metres – it’s about creating a space that enhances your life. By focusing on how you’ll use it, what your garden allows, and what makes you comfortable, you’ll end up with a garden room that truly delivers.
