Hello Tash, first off you need to get rid of the jumble of existing storage items you have for the toys and only keep what toys are being used by the children. It's distracting and an eyesore. I would keep the piece of furniture however you need to give the pink a modern feel. It looks like it needs to be covered so that is also an option. Overload with inexpensive complimentary contrasting cushions of different sizes. The sun may fade them over time but pick soft colours where this is less noticeable. I suggest putting in a separate inexpensive storage unit for the toys. A white unit that is neutral and matches the existing white blinds. Pink up a white wicker chair and a statement pot and large plant. Non poisonous for the kids and add some green to this room. Also add a faux fur throw for the winter and a little table to make use of this room as a place to enjoy a break while looking out to the garden. An inexpensive drape or blind could be added also to compliment cushions and rugs. Colours I would use are white, green, pink. You must add a rug to this room! See attached!

A friend of mine build something like this in a community garden. And while my friend is definitely a gardener, she is not so much a DIYer. So I think if you have a teenage son to bully around (or bribe with beers and pizza) it would be very much possible. What sizes are your frames? Are they all the same? Or all different? You will need some support structure for the roof of course, you can use those beams to attach the frames to, I think... edit: I obviously meant cola and softdrinks..., as responsible adults we wont propagate teenage drinking ;)

Hi Rose Do you have any photos you can share? It always helps to be able to see what we're advising on! I think it probably depends on the type of garage door - ie. if its the type with small windows in then yes it probably will look like a fire station but otherwise I think it would be ok. You could always get the garage door in a different colour though - they don't always have to match.

Hi, we could certainly help with that, we have experience in building bespoke garden studios and cabins. There are a couple of examples on our website here: http://www.johnsonbespoke.co.uk/our-work/ Feel free to give us a call, if you'd like to chat about the possibilities
