1. Embrace Nature

One of the main reasons for choosing a cabin, hut, pod, shed, or garden room is to be in harmony with nature. Bring the outside in by incorporating natural elements such as wood, stone, and plants into your decor. Use reclaimed wood for flooring and furniture, hang leafy plants from the ceiling, and display stones or shells as decorative accents.

2. Optimize Small Spaces

Make the most out of limited space by utilizing clever storage solutions. Install shelves and hooks on the walls to keep things organized and maximize vertical space. Choose multifunctional furniture pieces that offer storage compartments, such as ottomans or coffee tables with hidden storage.

3. Play with Colors

Experiment with color palettes that evoke the desired atmosphere in your cabin, hut, pod, shed, or garden room. Earthy tones like browns, greens, and yellows create a warm and cozy feel, while pastel shades can make the space appear more airy and serene. Consider adding pops of vibrant colors through accessories to bring energy to the room.

4. Comfort is Key

Nothing says relaxation like a comfortable seating area. Invest in a cozy sofa or armchairs, complemented by soft cushions and blankets. Opt for natural materials such as linen or cotton for a touch of luxury. Adding a rug under the furniture will not only enhance the coziness but also define the seating area.

5. Let There Be Light

Maximize natural light by strategically placing windows and skylights in your cabin, hut, pod, shed, or garden room. Make use of sheer curtains or blinds that allow for privacy while still allowing sunlight to filter through. Install warm, soft lighting fixtures to create an inviting ambiance during the evenings.

6. Personalize with Art and Décor

Add character to your space by displaying artwork and personal mementos. Hang paintings or photographs that resonate with your style and reflect your interests. Consider incorporating vintage or antique items as unique decorative pieces, such as old maps or vintage cameras.

7. Green Thumb Haven

Gardens are often associated with tranquility and relaxation. Extend the peaceful atmosphere by creating a small indoor garden within your cabin, hut, pod, shed, or garden room. Place potted plants and herbs on windowsills, add a vertical garden on a wall, or construct a mini greenhouse for your favorite plants.

8. Get Crafty with DIY Projects

Add a personal touch to your décor by engaging in do-it-yourself projects. Build your own custom-made shelves, paint a mural on the wall, or create unique decorative items using recycled materials. DIY projects not only save money but also add a sense of pride and satisfaction to your cabin, hut, pod, shed, or garden room.

9. Create Ambiance with Scents

Enhance the overall atmosphere of your space by incorporating pleasant scents. Light scented candles or use essential oil diffusers with calming fragrances like lavender or eucalyptus. Fresh flowers also add a touch of nature and a lovely aroma to your cabin, hut, pod, shed, or garden room.

10. Outdoor Appeal

Make your cabin, hut, pod, shed, or garden room seamlessly blend with the outdoors. Create an inviting outdoor seating area with comfortable chairs and a table. Hang fairy lights or lanterns for that magical touch during evening gatherings. And don't forget to add some cozy outdoor cushions.

Decorating your cabin, hut, pod, shed, or garden room is an exciting opportunity to let your creativity shine. By embracing nature, optimizing small spaces, playing with colors, and personalizing with art and décor, you can transform your retreat into a unique and inviting space. Remember to create comfort, maximize natural light, and add your personal touch with DIY projects. With these creative ideas, your cabin, hut, pod, shed, or garden room will become your haven in nature.

In Shed Style, Selina Lake reveals how even the smallest garden can be home to an outdoor retreat.

From the traditional gardener’s potting shed to a writer’s cabin to an artist's studio, Selina explores sheds, cabins, huts, greenhouses, pods and all manner of garden structures, providing ample inspiration for anyone dreaming of their own garden hideaway. She reveals how any existing shed, cabin or outbuilding can become a versatile work or social space rather than just somewhere to store the lawnmower. If you are short of space indoors, as so many of us are nowadays, a garden office, creative space, ‘she shed’ or work pod can provide a perfect solution. A greenhouse or potting shed will appeal to keen gardeners, while a cosy shepherd’s hut, perhaps with a bijou wood-burning stove, can work as guest accommodation. In Shed Style, Selina reveals how to create the shed of your dreams, presenting hundreds of fresh ideas for decorating and styling both the interior and exterior as well as suggestions for lighting, fabrics, furniture and other accessories. Shed Style is perfect for anyone who wants to make the most of their outdoor space.
