How do I get ideas for building my garden room?

At Nordic Room, we believe your garden building should be more than just an off-the-shelf structure—it should be a true reflection of your style, needs, and outdoor space. That’s why we specialise in creating fully bespoke Nordic Rooms and timber-framed buildings, offering an alternative to the standard, one-size-fits-all basic approach.

Whether you have a specific vision in mind or need guidance in designing a space that fits seamlessly into your garden, we’re here to help. Our expertise, combined with high-quality materials, ensures that your build is not only beautiful and functional but also durable, sustainable and cost-effective.

Designed with You, Built by Us
With Nordic Room, you have the freedom to customise every aspect of your garden room:

Create your own unique design to better suit your purpose—whether that means adjusting dimensions to build around a tree or flower bed, adding extra features like a storage shed at the side or back, adding another room or a bathroom or choosing the colour of your walls and floor to suit your taste.
Enjoy a seamless, high-quality build with our expert team, ensuring your vision becomes a reality.
From home offices and creative studios to relaxation retreats and entertaining spaces, our bespoke timber-framed buildings are designed to enhance your lifestyle and blend effortlessly into your outdoor environment.

Arrange a Free Site Visit
At Nordic Room, we understand that every garden room is unique to the people that use them. That’s why our site visit is a crucial step in designing a space that perfectly suits your needs and complements your outdoor area.

When you arrange a visit from our expert team, we’ll take the time to discuss how you plan to use your garden room. Will it be a home office for focused productivity? A games room for family fun? A granny annex for extra living space? Or perhaps a summer house where you can unwind and entertain? Understanding your vision helps us tailor the design to suit your lifestyle.

Maximising Your Space
To ensure your garden building fits seamlessly into its surroundings, we’ll also assist you in measuring your garden or site and assessing how to make the best use of the available space. A well-thought-out design not only enhances functionality but also creates a structure that feels like a natural extension of your home.

Key Considerations for Your Design
Before our experienced consultants begin designing your made-to-measure garden room, here are a few important questions to consider:

Which direction should my garden room face? Do you want to maximise natural light, enjoy a specific view, or create a sense of privacy?
How many rooms do I need? Will it be open-plan, or do you require separate areas for different functions?
Do I need a storage area? Would an integrated storage space be useful for tools, garden equipment, or other belongings?
How many windows do I need? The number, size, and placement of windows can impact light, ventilation, and aesthetics.
What internal finish do I prefer? We offer a range of modern colours to match your style.
Your Dream Space, Expertly Designed
Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, preferences, and space constraints, our team will begin crafting a bespoke design that aligns perfectly with your vision. We combine our expertise with your ideas to create a garden room that is not only functional but also a stunning addition to your home.

Let us guide you through the design, planning and build process of your unique Nordic Room.

We love our Nordic room – it’s super to have somewhere safe, beautiful and cosy for our young teens to hang out with their friends, which is exactly what we wanted it for. Having an awkwardly shaped garden meant that a standard garden room just wouldn’t work for us. We chose Nordic Room after seeing a neighbour’s garden room and being impressed with its high quality. We couldn’t have chosen better! This room is built to last, and will be used very happily all year round, year after year.

Jane - West Byfleet

Our Nordic Room has been an incredible addition to our property and has immediately added value to our lives. From initial consultation and throughout the build, the team displayed the utmost professionalism, courtesy and respect, delivering a high-quality product within the quoted time and cost. I couldn’t recommend the team higher.

Alex - East Molesey,

The end to end process Nordic offer is very professional; being a family run business they take their customers very seriously and we were very satisfied with the result. Thanks Olaf and the team!

Mr&Mrs Kelly Twickenham

Everyone I have been in contact with at Nordic Wood was a real pleasure to deal with. Tess and Olaf were patient in answering my many questions and the carpenters were all extremely polite, cheerful and professional.

Dara, London

From the first phone call to discuss our requirements, through several site visits to assess if our plans were viable, and on to construction and finishing I have nothing but praise for the company and those involved in it.

Mike, Surrey

“Both me and my wife really appreciated your professionalism and very kind approach to the work. I’m attaching few pictures of the annex, it is lovely and all our friends are asking about the company who did such an amazing work in just 4 weeks”
