Here are five vintage items that we think would look fabulous in one of our garden rooms:

We'll start with this beautiful free-standing mirror. The gently weathered design is sure to appeal to fans of vintage decor, and it would look fabulous in any SunSpaces garden room (particularly a white one!)

This beautiful chair looks like it was just shipped in from eighteenth-century Paris. Like the Dorneywood Mirror (see above), it would look particularly perfect inside one of our white garden structures.

This is really two items in one. When the trunk is open, it's a handy storage unit with a stunning map design on the inside; when closed, it serves as a charming and useful coffee table.

Every room looks better with a bit of greenery, and these gorgeous vintage plant pots will suit your vintage-themed garden room perfectly.

Finally, nothing ties a room together quite like an attractive vintage-style clock. This one ticks all the right boxes: roman numerals, ornate hands, and an ever-so-slightly-weathered look that will go wonderfully with all the other items we've mentioned today.

Verandas are an extremely popular choice for the garden right now. Thousands of Britons spent their summers under stylish glass verandas, and they've continued to sell well into the autumn months, perhaps because they allow homeowners to spend time outdoors even when the weather is rotten.

 

 

DIY glass verandas are available from countless UK suppliers, but we at SunSpaces firmly believe that our service is head and shoulders above everybody else's. For one thing, we're capable of designing a completely bespoke garden structure for your property, and we'll happily install it for you, too - how many of our competitors offer that?

 

But our service isn't the only thing that sets SunSpaces apart from the rest of the market. The quality of our materials is also second to none: your glass veranda will be roofed with 8mm toughened glass or, alternatively, sturdy polycarbonate sheets that come with a 10 year warranty as standard. The actual structure of your veranda will be made of high-grade aluminium.

A lot of people don't like bungalows, and some even use the word 'bungaloid' as a negative adjective for small buildings they find unsightly. However, it is the opinion of the SunSpaces team that lots of bungalows look very lovely indeed; those sweet little one-storey homes are cosy, comfortable, and - in the right hands - capable of looking just as stylish as any other home. Plus, those who live in bungalows don't have to worry about vacuuming the stairs, a perk that could make even the most squalid space seem appealing!

 

Of course, the main drawback of living in a bungalow is the lack of space. For some, that's a big part of their appeal (after all, why live in a mansion-sized property if it's just you, your partner, and your relatively few possessions?); other bungalow-dwellers, however, find themselves frustratingly limited by their ultra-compact homes.

 

But help is at hand. If you're looking to add a little extra space to your intimate one-storey abode, our sunrooms are the perfect solution!

 

SunSpaces' stylish, easy-to-build sunrooms are great for bungalows because...

• They generally require no planning permission (unless built on a border)
  
  
• They can be installed without any professional help (each one comes with an assembly guide and instructional DVD to help you get the job done)
  
  
• They cost significantly less than conservatories
  
  
• They look great and can be used in all sorts of ways (if you'd like some suggestions, click here)

 

Extending your home with a SunSpaces garden room opens up all kinds of possibilities - just think of what you could do with that extra space!

 

Here are just a few examples of how our garden rooms can be used:

 

Our easy-to-build DIY garden rooms make excellent dining spaces. If you're used to eating off your lap in the living room, we can help you to create an elegant, secluded dining room where you can sit up to the table and really appreciate the meal and the company of the people you're eating with. Get the good crockery out, because you'll be hosting a lot of dinner parties from now on! Find out more >

 

Fancy a new space to relax in? Don't bother refurbishing your front room - extend your home with a SunSpace instead! Our garden rooms can be filled with beautiful furniture and turned into a second living room with a stunning view of your flowerbeds. Find out more >

 

Our structures - particularly our garden verandas - are ideal for housing hot tubs and jacuzzis while sheltering you (and anyone else who might be in the tub) from the elements. Find out more >

 

If you have young children in your home, a SunSpaces garden room is a great way to give them a little more space in which to play. The spaces we provide are perfect for board games, tea parties, and practically anything else your kids might want to do! Find out more >

 

 

Most of the garden structures we supply and install here at SunSpaces are attached to their parent properties in some way - usually, the veranda or garden room will be adjoined to the rear or side wall of the customer's house. However, customers do occasionally ask us if their garden rooms can be entirely detached...and the answer is yes, they can!

 

Adding one of our detached garden rooms to your property is a fantastic way to create a tranquil outdoor retreat that lets you retreat from the hustle and bustle of home life. This customer, for example, installed one of our verandas at the end of their garden path, using the structure to create a lovely outdoor reading nook:

 

 

A detached garden room can serve as a peaceful personal space that in every way is entirely separate from your actual house (and all the stressful stuff that happens there). That said, your outdoor retreat doesn't have to be reserved solely for you - it can also make a great place for dinner parties, barbecues, and gatherings of friends.
