No doubt, garden rooms are luxuries and appealing additions to your home. However, deciding what garden room size is best for you can be a daunting task.

At Browns Garden Buildings, we’ve decades of experience in designing and building lovely garden spaces and we can help you in making the right decision in creating a beautiful ultra-modern garden room.
Things to consider before picking a garden room size.
There are several things you should consider before choosing a garden room size. They include;
Utilisation
Your garden room size wholly depends on how you plan on utilising it. For work and private spaces such as a home office, a personal work area, or a private little nirvana, it is always better to opt for smaller and cosier spaces rather than bigger ones. However, if you want something extra like perhaps an all-purpose garden bar or cinema or a well-equipped gym complete with a shower stall, then it is advisable you go for a larger room model.
Also, in picking out these choices, it is also important to consider how the usage of these spaces may change over time. You may want to tweak your cosy home office today, into a gym in the next few years or perhaps, a playroom for the kids and so, it is paramount to consider giving your space enough flexibility to adapt to these future changes should the need be.
Budget
Your budget plays a key role in determining the size of your garden room. The cost of building bigger rooms is definitely going to be more than building smaller ones. Before deciding on a size for your garden room, it is essential you analyse the costs and consider how it fits into your budget.
Garden space/size
While choosing the appropriate garden room size for the lawn may seem straightforward, it is essential to design a lovely outdoor area that blends seamlessly with the rest of your garden. A smaller design can be a good option if your garden isn’t too big so that it doesn’t overshadow the lawn or terrace flooring and appear out of place.
For small gardens, we advise a dimension of 4 m by 3 m, which is ideal for a garden office, studio, or an at-home exercise area. However, we suggest our customers think about how they intend to utilise their garden room instead of the space they want to occupy in order to decide the ultimate size of their garden room. If you have a lot of land, you have more choices when it comes to size.
Planning permission
In most cases, if the building designs comply with authorised development criteria, you won’t need planning permission to construct a garden room. So, if you want to construct a larger custom garden room, you might need to request planning approval from your local council.
