For as long as people have been working at home, garden offices have
been pretty much out of reach for the vast majority of them. Of course
folks who could afford them had them built, and enjoyed the tranquility
that they offered, but for people still on their way up in the business
world they remained pretty much out of reach.
It’s a shame too because the privacy and general ambiance of these types
of quiet secluded work environments combine to foster a work
environment that’s far more conducive to higher quality finished
creative product. Far better than the all too typical option of a
converted bedroom in a home.
Garden office also makes fantastic guest quarters as well. A separate
dwelling apart from the main home where people who come to visit can
feel more comfortable. Or if a family has teenagers, and is considering
ways to foster peaceful coexistence, there’s always the option of moving
them, their music, and their friends out of the home, and into a
separate building all together.
Garden offices also make an excellent spot to host garden parties, and
little get togethers in and out of. They’re away from the main house
guests can more easily unwind and relax, and when the sun sets, and
perhaps one of your guests has enjoyed your libations such to the point
that they shouldn’t drive, they can just lay down for s short nap in the
guest house, and sleep it off.
Of course affordable separate detached outbuildings have graced people’s
back yards for decades, but for the most part they’ve tended to be
drab, rather utilitarian structures. Buildings that tended to be hidden
away in the far reaches of the yard. Structures that were for the most
part used as tool sheds, or to store things in that folks would rather
not keep in their homes. Dank dusty buildings with plywood floors.
So it’s the Internet now and the easy availability of brand new,
prefabricated, and far more decorative buildings that has brought about
the drastic change. You see, now people don’t have to hire an expert
craftsman to achieve a distinctive, far more decorative designer look in
and on their outbuildings. They come in a package, ready to install
on-site.
What’s more, is that today’s homeowner no longer has to bicker back and
forth with a builder to get the look and features that they want in the
budget they’re working with. It’s all cut, and dried now with
prefabricated garden offices because the buyer simply selects from an
extensive list of plainly priced features. Just as one would, say if one
was buying an automobile.
This of course means that the door is now wide open for combination
design options. Garden offices that pull double duty to function as
perhaps a guest house on weekends, and then back to an office with a
desk and chairs during the week. Also with security on so many people’s
minds, it’s nice to know that today’s prefabricated buildings lock up
tight as a drum and can even be purchased with an alarm system.
