Narrow area in front of shed.!
Comments (10)id do this; make the trough into a bench and put some outdoor cushions on it, paint the neighbouring extension a light colour, get someone to make a wall hung 'table' that drops flat to the wall on the side of the house (useful for those coffee mornings) that is painted the same colour-above the 'table' put up a trellis also painted the same colour-there are some great hanging planters that could be hung here and you wouldn't have to stick to filling them with only plants. we have a narrow path similar to this-wasted space is what I call it-and thought of putting a shed within its confines. after seeing your picture its made me decide to do something similar. cheers, thanks for putting on the picture and making a light bulb go on in my head.x...See MoreKitchen 'sheds' - if you had to choose...
Comments (16)Thanks everyone for your comments so far! We are on a tight budget so, as I would like Quartz work tops, I need to compromise on the cabinets. Thanks One Plan for your thoughts despite such an early start to your working day! I have had plans drawn up with Wickes, B & Q and Howdens. Wickes were, as I'd thought, ridiculously expensive for what you get plus hopeless on design - just drew what he thought & didn't really ask me what our kitchen use was like. Wasn't overly impressed with Howdens either- took 2 weeks to draw the design and it wasn't that great although I've heard their units are good. Surprisingly, B & Q were most helpful & seemed to have a bit of an idea about design but I've been told their carcasses are poor. Yes, you get what you pay for, so I'm not expecting top quality but I also don't want something rubbish. Due to our location, the only other choice we have is Magnet but they don't have a colour I like in the door style I like. We have heard good things about IKEA kitchens but our nearest is about 3 hours away & they also don't really do the door style in the colour I'd like....See MoreWhat do you use your shed for?
Comments (16)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....See MoreHow can we improve the look of our new shed / summer house / bbq area
Comments (21)If you feeling brave, dark stains such as black look stunning and help the building to visually recede against the backdrop of vegetation. It's the tradition finish for agriculture buildings and has a very contemporary look. I'd contrast it with a pale grey deck or beige gravel or stone if you want something warmer. The building needs grounding in its setting, ie. connect it with a path and some planting to prevent it looking like it's been dropped from space! It's going to be a great facility to have in the garden....See MoreHelen Brown
