There has been a growing trend for homeowners to add an extension to their home, to create a suitable workplace that is part of their home, yet still separate. A newer and clever type of such an extension is referred to as a “garden office”. These garden offices are basically nicely appointed sheds, that can be free standing on the houses’ yard or be attached to a patio. These structures can provide some very nice benefits to seniors, as listed below.

Creating a Conducive and Pleasant Remote Work Setting
Working at home is very convenient, but may not be practical or successful if there is no proper workplace within the home. Even if you have an existing office nook in your home, it may not be conducive for ongoing, serious work. Such inside office spaces often have distractions, such as family members, noise and even just a lack of space to stretch and walk around. Also, inside office spaces tend to be dark and not well ventilated, which does not make for a productive workplace.
A garden office provides a separate and more private environment to carry out your work. Plus, most of these structures are designed to be comfortable, well lit and well ventilated.
Providing a Multi-Purpose Space
Although it is called a garden ‘office’, this structure can often be designed in such a way as to be multi-purpose. They can serve as an art or music studio, an exercise room and even just a quiet space for yoga or meditation. There are endless possibilities – limited to your imagination and needs. This multi-purpose feature also opens up all sorts of opportunities for you, whether it be for business, recreation or personal growth.
Physical and Mental Health Benefits
There have been several studies that show that people who spend more time in an outside or natural setting, are healthier in body, mind and even spirit. A garden office allows you to be surrounded by plants and trees and enjoy much more fresh air and sunlight than you get being inside your home. It has often been said that a major key to success is health and happiness and working in a garden office can certainly contribute to this.
Property Benefits
In addition to all the possible personal benefits discussed above, adding a garden office can be beneficial to your home also. First off, these structures often are modular and come partially or fully assembled. This means much less mess, noise and inconvenience than adding a traditional room extension. Plus, it has been shown that adding a garden office can increase the value of your home five to ten percent. That is often more than the cost of the garden office – making it a good investment.
