How I Create Your Dream Family Garden Retreat
A bespoke garden retreat with bar and lounge and storage built by Into The Garden Room with my high sustainability specifications.
So many of us have run out of space inside but we want to give teens their own hang out space, provide a retreat for older ones coming home from uni or make a flexible space for entertaining away from the front room.
A garden retreat is an easy way to answer all of these issues with added sustainability, connection and beauty.
I love to work with Into The Garden Room to build garden rooms for my clients, because they have a high quality approach to these spaces and they know the importance to families and hardworking professionals.
Whether you envision a secluded meditation room, a lively outdoor entertaining space, or a combination of both, a professionally designed garden retreat can transform the look and function of your backyard.
As always, I have done the hard work for you in thinking about sustainable materials, and design that just feels rights with natural products, reclaimed timber and gentle hues.
I love to blend all the functional elements into your garden with beautiful sustainable landscaping so you can have a private oasis that not only elevates your quality of life, but also increases the footprint of your property for resale.
The Benefits of a Garden Retreat

A thoughtfully designed garden retreat is so much more than just a landscaped yard. It's an extension of your living space - a private oasis where you can relax, entertain, and truly connect with nature and each other. When crafted by experts, it can seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor areas, elevating the aesthetic of your entire property.
At certain sizes it actively adds square footage to your property to increase the size you can resell at.
One of the key benefits of a garden retreat is its ability to increase your home's value. Industry insiders believe that well-designed outdoor living spaces can boost a property's resale price by 5-15%. Essentially, you in building a garden retreat you have done the hard work for your buyer so they don’t have to.
So in addition to providing you with years of enjoyment, a expertly curated garden retreat is also a smart investment.
Of course, turning your garden into a luxurious retreat requires more than just pretty flowers and patio furniture. Integrating climate-conscious landscaping is essential for achieving a sustainable, low-maintenance outdoor living space.
Drought-resistant plants that thrive in your our changing climate not only reduce the environmental impact, but also promote biodiversity and provide year-round visual interest.
