Making the most of the space in your home is one of the best ways to create a comfortable, calming space. But no matter how organized you are, there are always ways to make the most of the space on your property.
Whether you’re turning your unfinished basement into a workout room until you complete it or make a mini oasis in your unused detached garage, there’s always more space to maximize. The storage shed in your yard is one of those spaces.
It has far more potential than just a place to store your lawn mower. It can be so much more with a little imagination.
What to Do With Your Storage Shed
When you live somewhere that’s below freezing for half the year, it can be tough to imagine your shed as an actual living space. But with space heaters, some insulation, and dedication, you can transform your shed into an extension of your home. If you’re struggling to decide how to use the space, here are some ideas.
Make Your Storage Shed a Home for Your Hobbies
Whether you’re a major crafter, collector, or artist, your shed can be a convenient place to house your hobby essentials and work on your projects. It’s a dedicated space away from your partner or kids where you can disappear and work undisturbed and without distractions.
Use Your Storage Shed as a Gardener’s Haven
When you’re an avid gardener, you know how many tools, pots, and accessories can accumulate in your garage. By turning your storage shed into a gardener’s paradise, you can make a convenient potting station, storage for soil, pots, and watering cans, and hooks for your aprons and gloves.
Convert Your Shed to a Mini Gym
Having a home gym isn’t always feasible inside your house if you have kids, pets, and are low on space. But a gym that’s within feet of your home makes it infinitely easier to stick to a workout routine. By converting your storage shed to a mini gym with basic equipment and weights, you’ll have everything you need to keep your exercise schedule on track.
Turn Your Storage Shed into the Ultimate Playhouse
Give your storage shed over to your kids to play in, house their outdoor toys, and leave them a place to make their imagination soar. You can design the inside to match a theme – outer space, a castle, or anything else they love – to make it a place they love to be. As a bonus, it gets them outside and encourages them to play off their electronics.
Bottom Line
When searching for a home, it’s not always about the house itself. You should also pay attention to the property for other ways to make the most of this space where you’ll be spending so much of your time. Your dream is to make a home that your whole family can enjoy and feel safe in, and that includes the storage shed, garage, and other structures on the property.
