Anyone who opens their garden house and finds it in chaos should do something as soon as possible. With our ideas you can provide more storage and living space.
Many use the garden house as additional living space and thus as a small oasis of well-being in the countryside. For others, however, the garden shed is just a storage room for garden tools, flower bulbs, fertilizer, etc. And still others combine both. But that quickly becomes quite problematic, because there is not much space in a garden house. The garden shed then no longer has much of an oasis of well-being. But only if you don't know how to help yourself. After all, there are enough solutions that provide more storage and living space in the garden house. And this is exactly what we would like to introduce to you here in more detail.
Ideas for more storage and living space in the garden shed
❍ Extension:
Your garden shed is simply too small to store garden tools in it and also to sit comfortably? Then a tool shed as an extension would be worth considering. Finally, there are also tool sheds that can be opened from several sides and "attached" to the garden shed. The tool sheds are small, but offer a lot of storage space. I have seen such tool sheds on garten-q.de, for example. The models with add-on variants offer four times as much storage space as a garden shed of comparable size. But here, too, it is important that you keep your garden shed tidy to save space.
❍ Shelves:
We all know that: If it suddenly starts to rain while gardening, the garden tools have to be stowed away quickly. "Fast" is the correct term here, because it is not uncommon for the devices to simply find a place somewhere in the garden shed where there is a free space to put them down or put them down. You do that once or twice and the outdoor oasis of well-being becomes a junk room with no order.
In order to prevent the garden shed from looking untidy and preventing you from being able to really relax there, you should integrate shelves into the garden shed. Everything can then find its place there, what youneed regularly for gardening. Of course, open shelves with tools do not look very comfortable. For more cosiness, you can hide the shelves behind a decorative curtain, for example. It doesn't take up much space and it also looks nice. For this it is advisable to use curtain rails or to mount a curtain rod on the ceiling.
❍ Order Bars:
Since rakes, spades, hoes and the like cannot be stowed away on the shelf, organizer strips with clamps and hooks are an absolute must in the garden shed. Rake and Co. can be easily hooked in here and don't stand around in the corner of the garden house. You can, for example, hide these order strips behind a curtain or mount them on the door of the summer house. The latter is particularly practical, since you need a broom more often and have it to hand so quickly. Of course, you can also easily build an order bar yourself. I found instructions for this on selbst.de, for example.
❍ Seating furniture with storage box:
If you want to sit comfortably in the garden house, it is always best to choose seating furniture that offers storage space. For example, for a garden bench with a storage box. This is how you kill two birds with one stone. You can sit comfortably and also store cushions, garden accessories, etc. in it. The content always stays dry and is ventilated. I have seen such a garden bench e.g. on globus-baumarkt.de. Of course, there are also garden boxes with storage space that can be used as a table or stool. For example, I found a model in rattan and wood look with a usable capacity of around 143 liters on real.de.
❍ Loft bed:
Would you like to live in the garden house and therefore also spend the night there? Then do not opt for a normal bed, because that would take up too much space. Opt for a bunk bed instead. This not only saves a lot of space, it is also practical because you can, for example, position a seating group underneath.
