7. Cozy art studio. This light-filled studio space in Corpus Christi, Texas, is just steps away from the house but feels like a tranquil retreat. The building is oriented to receive as much natural light as possible, while also allowing room for a pecan tree to grow up through the roof’s exposed rafter tails.
8. Garden living room. With striped bunting, comfy furnishings, twinkle lights and pots of flowers out front, this garden room in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, could hardly look more festive. Although designed more as a summer house, the garden room could easily become an inviting cool-weather destination with a small space heater and perhaps an electric kettle for tea on hand. Often just adding more light and warmth is enough to make a space more inviting, even in winter.MoreHow to Add a Backyard Shed for Storage or Living10 Ways to Revamp Your Garden Shed
1. Craft studio with a porch. Tucked behind a house on Vashon Island, Washington, this mini prefab studio provides extra space where the homeowners can work on arts and crafts projects. The sloped tongue-and-groove pine roof extends generously over the studio’s entryway deck, protecting the doorway from the elements and adding a nice architectural touch.
