More Irish homeowners are moving their work out of the house and into the garden. A hair or beauty studio, a physio or counselling room, a photography space or a small workshop: a timber garden room gives you a separate, professional place to work without a commute or a commercial rent.
Why a Separate Space Works
Clients and customers arrive at a calm, dedicated room instead of your hallway. Your family keeps its privacy, and you can close the door at the end of the day. Timber is warm, quiet and welcoming, which suits client-facing work.
Planning Before You Order
Back-garden structures such as garden rooms, home offices, studios and stores are exempt up to 30 m², subject to conditions. Using the room for a business with regular visitors is a different question from the structure itself, and it may need separate consideration. Always confirm both the build and the intended use with your local authority before you order.
Layout Details That Matter
- Access: a level, well-lit path from the gate or driveway.
- Sockets and lighting: plan positions early. Electrics are installed and certified by our partner electrical contractor and quoted separately after a site review.
- Insulation and ventilation: a room used all day needs to stay warm and dry through the Irish winter.
- Sound: good wall build-up keeps treatment rooms and recording corners private.
