A Room in the Garden’s turnkey service doesn’t stop there. They assist with planning approvals and Building Regulation sign-offs when required.

Examples of A Room in the Garden exterior finishes
When it comes to the exterior, A Room in the Garden offers a wide range of low-maintenance cladding finishes. Whether you prefer a durable timber finish or a high-spec composite finish, they’ve got you covered. With a flair for blending different cladding finishes and incorporating materials like charred timber or outdoor wallpaper, A Room in the Garden creates eye-catching buildings.
In addition to timber and composite claddings, A Room in the Garden also provides brick and stone finishes that add texture and character to the building. The option of corrugated metal cladding presents another way to incorporate texture into the exterior, providing a stylish, cost-effective, and low-maintenance choice.
The team at A Room in the Garden is dedicated to bringing customers’ ideas to life. As you scroll through these photos, you’ll notice how they integrated one customer’s fondness for rabbits into the exterior cladding design, creating a distinct and stylish aesthetic.
Recognising that the choice of doors and windows significantly affects the style and functionality of a garden office, A Room in the Garden offers a variety of door and window styles. They’ll work closely with you to configure the layout.
A Room in the Garden provides door and window options with uPVC, aluminium, or timber frames. uPVC frames offer durability and cost-effectiveness. Aluminium frames typically have a slimmer profile, allowing for larger glazing areas.
Exterior lighting comes standard with A Room in the Garden designs. If you look around their website, you’ll find numerous images showcasing how their buildings look at night. Their design team has a keen eye for lighting, strategically placing exterior lights to accentuate key areas of the building and extend usability into the evening.
A Room in the Garden can collaborate with you to expand the area around your garden office by adding decked seating areas, verandas, and steps. They offer Redwood timber decking, which can last for up to 30 years with some maintenance. They also provide composite wood decking, a durable, low-maintenance option. Composite decking is coloured during the manufacturing process and maintains its appearance without the need for painting.
Examples of A Room in the Garden interior finishes
The A Room in the Garden team collaborates with each client to shape the interior of their dream garden office. As standard, they provide a high-spec plastered and decorated finish, painted in your preferred shade. Paired with your flooring of choice, this finish creates a light and airy workspace, as shown in these images.
In addition to this, A Room in the Garden provides the option of plywood interiors. Check out the gallery below to see how this finish lends a chic, minimalist look to the office space. Each joint is meticulously detailed by A Room in the Garden’s skilled team for a polished aesthetic.
They offer an extensive array of flooring options to suit your needs. They offer high-quality laminate flooring, available in a variety of finishes. For cloakrooms or shower rooms, they recommend stone or tiles and will collaborate with you to create the look you envision.
Want something softer underfoot? No problem – they also provide the option of carpet. If your design includes a gym area, you could choose rubber flooring for its bounce and impact resistance.
Every garden office from A Room in the Garden comes with a comprehensive electrical package. As part of their turnkey service, a certified electrician handles the installation and final connection of the garden office’s electrics to your house. During the design stage, they’ll work with you to plan the electrical layout. The choice is yours when it comes to the finish of switches and sockets, which can feature USB charging points. For added convenience, they can fit smart switches, enabling you to manage your garden office’s electrics with timers or voice control. While LED lighting is a standard feature, they can also accommodate your preference for wall lighting or pendant lights.
Thanks to the Structural Insulated Panel (SIPs) core structure, A Room in the Garden offices offer excellent thermal efficiency. To boost comfort levels year-round, they offer an array of heating and cooling options. Choose from sleek electric wall panel heaters, unobtrusive underfloor heating, or air conditioning systems that let you maintain your perfect working temperature. If a homier ambience is what you’re after, consider their range of electric fireplaces and stoves.
