While “Man Caves” are cute little hideouts in your basement, office space, or if you’re feeling risqué, your attic, a “She Shed” takes the concept of dedicating a space towards hobbies and moves it to the backyard to build a beautiful little oasis dedicated to your passions without intruding on your home. Here are some tips for decorating your She Shed to put Man Caves to shame.
Shed Styles
While hanging out in a shed doesn’t typically sound like a pleasant way to spend your time, She Sheds aren’t the dusty, run down storage spaces that typically come to mind. As She Sheds grew in popularity, backyard studio kits have been developed to make the process of building your She Shed easy while giving you a variety of options to match your style.
- The Coast—While not necessarily a She Shed by the sea shore, The Coast Studio is an entry-level design that, while the inception is simple, allows for a flexible design that can be changed to your specifications.
- The Saltbox—A traditional New England style, this studio features an extended roof that slopes down and back while a shorter roof slopes down and to the front, allowing windows to be installed in between for overhead natural lighting and providing a traditional yet unique look.
- The Modern—Something a bit hipper and trendier with an emphasis on minimalism. This sleek design provides a bit more privacy and more room along the walls for furniture.
- The Craftsman—A 19th century American favorite that features an overhang. This enduring style has seen many iterations over time and has a legacy of expressing individualism.
Amenities
Remember, this is your personal oasis. It’s not enough that your She Shed looks great, it must cater to you! This is your fortress, your throne! A fan and space heater are convenient ways to control the temperature of your She Shed, while a mini-fridge, TV, and a cozy chair are a great way to hunker down and let you unwind. If you want to make your She Shed a sanctuary for your hobbies, outfitting it with whatever you need to do such a hobby is a great way to give your She Shed a unique aesthetic and express yourself at the same time.
Landscaping
A particular benefit with a She Shed is that you’re surrounded by nature, meaning gardening tips now double as tips for decorating. Why not use your shed as a canvas and flex your green thumb by doing a bit of gardening? Such a project will bring another personal touch to the space and will only complement your style. Landscaping is also something that can be changed to keep your environment looking fresh and new without having to alter the shed itself.
