What do you use your shed for?

hace 7 años

According to Cuprinol Shed of the Year, more than a quarter of shed owners use their sheds to enhance their sense of wellbeing through meditation, or even yoga!

If you have a shed, what do you use it for? Does it double up as storage AND space to relax? Or does it have one dedicated purpose only? You know we'd love to know!

Such a beautiful space. We're in love with the timber shed resurgence. It's a space that enables you to be more creative and expressive in your designs.

That's not a shed, that's a fancy greenhouse thingie !

A shed is a wooden box, with half the panels missing from the side, a door that doesn't close properly as the whole thing has twisted due to the dodgy paving slabs it's been put on, and a floor that is so brittle that you need to watch where you're walking so you don't fall through.

My shed has 3 old bikes that don't work anymore, a length of garden hose, a random golf club, a 10 year old tomato grow bag, a few bamboo canes, and some broken plant pots. Oh and a broken lawnmower that I put back in about 6 years ago when it broke fully intending to fix (but I never will)

I definitely can't relax in there! You're taking your life into your own hands whenever you go in there (not that I do).

Hi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout. Best \Marcin

How do I clean my hood to get better results?
Q

The hood must be cleaned using neutral products (pH 7) that are neither alkaline or acidic: you must check that the product does not contain any harmful components such as sodium carbonate, acids, ammonia, or chlorine.If your hood is steel, it's important that you pay careful attention to the cleaning product you purchase, since the presence of the substances listed above can deteriorate the steel, leading to stains or spots of rust.

Reformar una vivienda no es solamente contratar un paleta o una empresa, sino pensar a los espacios, personalizar estancias, mejorar la distribución, aprovechar cada esquina, en fin, crear algo a medida del cliente, como si fuera un vestido. Por esto la parte previa a la obra, a donde se define cada detalle del proyecto, es fundamental. Contactar con un arquitecto, no solo de garantiza que legalmente hayan todos los permisos y que cada profesional tenga un seguro en vigor, sino que te ahorra futuros dolores de cabeza y te evita problemas de mala ejecución. www,antoniocilea.com

Gosh I wish I had a 'shed' like that! Mine houses usual garden tools, daughters scooter/bike and a tumble dryer! Oh, and empty wine bottles ready to make homemade apple (not cider) wine. :)

That is not a shed - I would love to have a greenhouse like that in an English garden but you also need a shed - keeping tools in a greenhouse means they rust due to heat combined with plant induced humidity. I have seen greenhouses with sheds joined to them on the northern side - usually with both a door to the greenhouse and one to outdoors but I think my all time favourite scenario is a walled garden with a large Edwardian/Victorian greenhouse against the wall with door into a large shed perhaps through the wall. No way it will happen but dreams are free.

I am spoilt - I have a shed with a gardener's toilet and the boiler is housed there, so cosy in winter. I built a greenhouse (quite large, 2 rooms) and a lean to tool shed behind it. I'm not a builder, so not the finest structure ever constructed, however it does the job.

Used to have one of those cheap larchlap sheds with crappy osb chipboard roofs. My father in law - a farmer, had some spare corrugated steel roof sheeting which we used to prolong its life and got another 6 years out of it after the original roof was in danger of caving someone's skull in. It too was usually rammed with crap, we rarely used and here in north east England the climate isn't synonymous with outdoor living!

Couple years ago I installed a new fence for some clients who's entire property suffered flood damage after the Tyne broke its banks! They offered me there old expensive posh shed. One shattered panel from the electric cable that had saved it from floating off! Other than that nothing wrong with it! Lovely newish expensive shed now has a new home at mine. It's bigger and much better than my old one and is in no danger of warping whatsoever and we can actually fit all our bikes in and some! The and some is of course... you guessed it....crap that we will never use! Oh it does house the chicken feed for our hens so at least its dual purpose and it looks really nice in the space that it's in. Away at the minute so no access to desktop with photo, sorry. My dream though would be to have a garden studio where I could meditate do yoga and create all things artistic and of course double as my office for when I work from home designing landscapes for my clients. Would certainly beat my current office space which is a tv cabinet housing my printer and printer paper, a mini filing cabinet filled with crap and my 5x2 desk. If only I could afford to buy?! I'd seek the help of one of the other professionals here on houzz to help me design a better office space?!! One can but only dream, sigh...

shed (brick built & a bit damp) = garden tools, greenhouse = tomatoes, peppers & a grape vine, workshop = man cave, garage = storage, summerhouse = chairs to sit with a glass of wine & a good book. :) we're very fortunate to have all of these.

My sheds are rent free homes for House spiders, I swear that given enough time they'll set up their own Lettings agency in my garden.

I wish I could have a shed that did all things. storage, potting, greenhouse, meditation. but I am going to go for a boring wooden shed for the gardening tools after reading one of the comments about using a green house thingy as also a storage unit.

My shed looks good from the outside. Painted pretty colour, strings of solar lights, plants and hanging baskets. But its all a lie, because inside its a mess of garden equipment, things that don't fit in the house, old garden stuff etc.
