A shed is very useful to almost anyone. It may just be a small structure outside a house but it has many purposes. The first thing that comes to mind when dealing with sheds is that it was built to serve as a storage area for excess and unused household items. There are other things that you can do with it though. Here is a list of the shed conversions you can make:
Hobby center
Doing what you love in your spare time is very relaxing. And one way to do it is to have a place which you can call your own. If your home does not offer enough space, a shed is a very practical solution. You can do your hobby in your shed without being disturbed plus it will also serve as a stashing area for your items when you are done.
A little Marrakech
Only a small corner will be needed for this. Just tidy it up, drape its walls with cloth and throw some cushions on the floor to create a Moroccan effect. This would be a great hiding place when you want to be on your own and clam up in your niche.
Home bar
If your home is not spacious enough to entertain friends who are in a drinking mood, make use of your shed. Just a few adjustments will do the trick. Play with the lights to suit everyone. Bring in sofas, high stools and a radio. Don’t forget to bring in the drinks and ice bucket for that perfect night with friends and loved ones.
Reading den
A shed that is insulated and lined with shelves is perfect for stashing books and other reading items. This can function as your mini library. To make you more comfortable, you may want to bring in a cosy chair or a couch into the space. Just remember to use proper lightings so you will not have a hard time using it for this particular purpose.
Pet’s quarters
Not just any shed will be suited for this purpose because unlike humans, pets may not be able to get out if the environment gets uncomfortable for them. It should have windows to provide proper ventilation without allowing water to come in during rough days. See to it that it is safe for your pet as you leave him during the day. It is also a good recovery area for sick pets.
Disco den
This can be a perfect dancing area with your friends for the weekend without going out of town and spending a fortune. Just push the furniture aside and bring in the materials needed for the party. It provides privacy as you dance your hearts out to any music that suits you – a salsa, hiphop or whatever. After which, you may take a breather in the garden to get a sniff of fresh air.
Housing the power generator
Your shed is a perfect place to generate power by installing solar panels to be used for charging small batteries. This allows you to save on electrical consumption. You may opt to make your own electric motor and some fan blades or you may just purchase a turbine kit.
