If you’re working from home more often, a garden office can make a real difference. Instead of answering emails at the kitchen table or taking calls from the sofa, you can work in a dedicated, distraction‑free space.
It’s the best of both worlds: no daily commute, more time with your family, and a clear separation between work and home life.
Plus, a thoughtfully designed garden room can also add value to your property, as well as being a stylish, practical and more cost-effective alternative to extending or moving house.
Design your perfect garden office
We tailor every garden office to fit your needs, so you can create a workspace that feels just right. Choose from:
-
Glazing: we fit UPVC windows and doors with ANSI 2 locks as standard, with the option to add aluminium bi-fold doors.
- Electrics & connectivity: each office includes a full internal electrical installation, connected to your home main supply via a certified, armoured cable. We also run a CAT6 Ethernet cable to your garden room as standard, so you stay reliably connected.
- Heating: you can choose your heating source, such as electric radiators or infrared heaters.
-
Window blinds: if privacy or the control of light is a concern, we can add integral venetian blinds within the glazed units, providing a fantastic solution without the worry of cleaning or hanging cords.
-
Storage: we can fit bespoke shelving, cupboards or other storage solutions to keep your office neat and organised.
-
Decking: extend your workspace with a deck or patio that connects smoothly to the garden so that you can enjoy the outdoors between calls or meetings.
- Cladding: we fit FSC certified thermowood cladding as standard, but also offer alternatives such as IRO timber or composite cladding.
And at Outside In, we handle every part of the process, from initial design and consultation to construction and installation.
