Your small office home office should not only be practical, containing all the equipment you need to work, but should also allow you to focus on your daily tasks. 

Studies show that blue is the best colour to promote wellbeing and efficiency in your office space, and natural lighting will allow workers to maintain focus and reduce stress and unnecessary strain on the eyes during working hours. For these reasons, it is important to consider that your new garden office should provide optimal natural lighting, and feature neutral tones to increase your performance throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need Planning Permission To Run A Business From Home?

Although we do not deal with planning permission directly, unless your business will cause a nuisance to the neighbours, or cause a material change in the use of your home, it's fine to run a business from your home office!

Can I claim my garden building as a business expense?

You can use a garden office for other purposes, such as a spare bedroom for guests and more.  You cannot fully deduct a garden office as a business cost. However, you can deduct the fixtures, fittings, office furniture, and more.

Does a garden office add value to your property?

Estate agents and lenders estimate that adding a garden office can increase your home's value by 5 to 10%. This additional value comes from the extra functional space it provides, which can be used for a variety of purposes such as a home office, gym, studio, or even a guest room. The increase in property value may vary depending on factors such as the quality of the garden office, its design, and how it complements the overall property. Many buyers and homeowners see garden offices as an attractive feature that adds both practical and aesthetic value to a property, making it more appealing on the market.

Are Small Home Office Buildings Worth It?

If you are fed up with working from the kitchen table, or need to escape from the hectic schedule of daily life, choosing one of our luxury garden offices is a great idea. Remember that the costs you pay when you buy a garden office save you from having to rent office space, and commute.

Is a garden office a habitable room?

Can I convert my garden room into a living space? You will need to obtain planning permission to convert a garden room into a habitable living space. You must also ensure the space meets building regulations, including insulation, heating, and lighting standards, to make it suitable for year-round living.

Can my garden office have a toilet?

Do you need planning permission to install a garden office with a toilet? The simple answer is no. In most cases, local authorities consider garden rooms as permitted development, so they don’t require planning permission. Even garden rooms with plumbing for a toilet don’t need planning permission as long as they meet these criteria:

  • The structure is no higher than 2.5 metres
  • The floor space is no more than 30 square metres
  • You install it no closer than 2 metres to a boundary
  • The garden room is no larger than 50% of the original property
  • You don’t use it as sleeping accommodation
  • The property isn’t located in a conservation area or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

If your garden room doesn’t meet these rules, you must apply for planning permission from your local authority.
