Corner Summer House Ideas

 

Installing a corner summer house is the best way to enjoy a summer house in your garden without taking up unnecessary room. There are a number of benefits to installing a corner summer house, including:

  • Extra space: Installing a corner summer house will allow you to access more of your garden space.
  • Electrical wiring: Having a corner summer house means that any electrical cables can be run around the side of your garden, close to the fence, meaning you won’t have any unsightly wiring going across your garden.
  • Natural weather protection: A corner summer house will have better natural protection thanks to your fencing, especially if you have trees around the side of your garden.

Summer House With Canopy Insulated Summer House

 

Our insulated summer houses can be designed with indoor and outdoor seating in-mind. Order a summer house with canopy to enjoy cover from the elements, right outside your door. A canopy is the perfect addition to any summer house with a porch, and can protect yourself and guests from both rain and shine thanks to extended coverage across the outside of your new insulated summer house.

Are Summerhouses Warm In Winter?

Far from the cold and draughty British summer time, our summer houses are insulated and lined to an excellent standard. When combined with an added electrical pack and heater we ensure your summer house is as warm and cosy as can be, all year long!

 

How Long Do Summerhouses Last?

With the proper care, maintenance, and the high quality timber products used on our garden summer houses they can last up to and above 10 years.

 

Can You Have a Summer House in a Small Garden?

Cabin Master create luxury summer houses as little as 2m x 2m, meaning no matter how small your garden, you are likely to find a small summerhouse that will suit your space.

Does A Summerhouse Add Value To A Property?

Rapidly increase the value of your property without the inconvenience of getting planning permission for extensions or loft conversions by adding a garden summer house. Recent studies have shown that these investments can add 5% of the value to your home.

How Can I Design My Summerhouse?

  • Position is important: Generally, finding a secluded spot at the far end of the garden will enhance a beautiful retreat, away from everyday life. Find a secluded spot at the far end of the garden and our spacious summerhouses look right at home surrounded by trees, giving it a secluded, middle-of-the-countryside feel.

 

  • Create a calming cabin: Use your multi-purpose summer house to host all kinds of home comforts by decking it out with a sizable bench seating solution that can double as a daybed and keep it filled with cushions to make it all the more comfy. Create a calming and neutral environment by matching the furniture to your personalised summer house design and help keep things cool and feeling serene.

 

  • Mix and Match: Give your garden summer house more of a relaxed look through a fusion of furniture styles. By incorporating the comfy with the unique, you allow your creative style to flow and turn the unloved into something great!

Do I Need Planning Permission for a Small Summer House in the Garden?

A summer house will not generally require planning permission, provided that it does not take up more than half of your garden space, and is not over 3 metres for a flat roof structure, and 4 metres for a summer house with an apex roof.

How to Design the Perfect Modern Summer House

The Summer House has had an overhaul! A traditional summer house is little more than a shed in construction, but a fully insulated garden room from Cabin Master offers so much more. Our buildings are practical and high quality as well as incredibly stylish and unique. Investing in a garden room that has a sleek, modern feel will give you a great space to enjoy your time in your garden.

At Cabin Master we can help you design a garden room that fits you so well, you may never want to leave it! They are a great way to add extra space at home and a British garden classic. A modern summer house creates the opportunity to make space for fun at home, with limitless ways in which you can use the extra room.

Summer house that is light & bright

Space & Light

 

The first thing that you need to do is decide what kind of space you are going to build. When you lay out your space, it is important that you don't create a lot of clutter. Modern garden room design takes full advantage of negative space and architectural form.

Your modern garden summerhouse layout will use the form of the building to define the overall look, so attention to detail in the design process is extremely important. Many people like to see the architectural elements of the summer house, and including as many windows as possible is a good idea. In addition to becoming a design element, your windows will give the space an openness that modern design relies on.

Letting oodles of natural light flow into your summer house is beneficial on many levels and will make the space seem much larger visually. Bi-fold doors are one option to achieve this effect, but you can also use a wall of fixed windows as well. We can offer you many options when it comes to integrating windows into your garden room, so please don't be afraid to ask us about what we can create for you.

 

Design & Decor

 

Modern design utilises fewer objects to create more visual interest. When you plan your summer house, paying attention to the furniture and accessories will make a big difference to the overall feel of the room. Because modern design is understated in character, you can use well-chosen chairs and couches to make a big impact. There are numerous options when it comes to furniture, and using the upholstery to your advantage will add a lot without costing you a fortune.

Paying attention to the lighting design is also important, and thinking of your garden room as a showpiece will help. The windows that you add will allow the interior of the summer house to be seen from the outside. But at night your lighting can turn your new space into a delightful part of your garden scape.

You can use high-efficiency lighting to accent your space, and no matter where you are it will be an incredible sight. The lighting you add will be extremely inexpensive when compared to the total project cost, but it can make an enormous difference when well executed.

Accents

 

You can use small design accents to huge effect in a modern summer house. Small features like patterned or textured cushions can be used to show off your style, and won't cost you much either. If you decide to add lots of windows, you can use interesting looking plants inside your garden room as well. There are many kinds of decorative plants that can be used to great effect, and the planters you choose will make a big impression as well.

Modern design also gives you the chance to use abstract art, stylish vases, stone sculptures and interesting accessories. The forms that you choose will make your modern garden room feel like an open, artistic space that you will want to keep relaxing in. Make sure that your furniture is comfortable as well as attractive; you will be spending hours lounging around on it!
