Need help for my garden room

Anne Marie Penny

We are having a garden room built and I am unsure what colour paint I should use on the inside. I'm thinking of opting for a soft white but wondering whether this is too boring. Any ideas please

Greens are great in a garden room, as it connects inside with outside. Soft white also as a neutral back drop. You can then pick up accents of pink, rose, raspberry, creams, whites etc that match the flowers outside.

Hi Anne-Marie,

I would definitely pick a colour that makes you feel you're outside so the room flows into the garden. In my summer house I used a Valspar colour called bottle fly wing which changes with the weather. It looks pale grey on cloudy days and pale blue on sunny days. I kept the floor a similar colour to the deck outside so that also flowed as one. See link below.

If you made timber stud walls and had the additional piece of roof mostly or all clear then you would still benefit from shade of the Wisteria in Summer. There are various clear roofing systems at different costs. Some access points (like rood lite windows) would be a good idea in two or three places, to prune the Wisteria. I built a structure in my garden using mainly reclaimed materials from a house demolition. Only the screws and clear roof panels had to bought. The wood-burning stove and the correct chimney with attachments is likely to be the most costly bit.

Hi. I'm fairly new to this site, but whilst I can't help you with the number and output of your light fittings, another couple of suggestions. You are creating an exciting and distinctive open ceiling. As long as the colour between the joists is white you might consider using uplighting and then reflected light from the ceiling to light the space, thereby leaving the open ceiling free of lights and wires/conduit. Wall mounted fittings could do this for you. Also consider lumen and colour temperature carefully for the lamps as well as the wattage. You may have considered and dismissed all of the above, but if not I hope it helps.

Hi Catherine, could you provide some photos of the room or a simple hand drawing with dimensions of the room and furniture sizes? Without it, it's near impossible to advise anything.

If you look on http://www.sgd.org.uk/ you can search for designers in your area. All those listed have been vetted and must have Professional Indemnity Insurance to be an official Member of the Society of Garden Designers (MSGD). Many of them will be on Houzz as well as the SGD is affiliated with Houzz. Hopefully they also have reviews!
