Eating outdoors is great, but it's not without its drawbacks. Insects can pose a big problem, with flies and - worse still - wasps threatening to ruin your dinner at a moment's notice. Then, of course, there's the weather; no matter how sunny it is when you sit down to eat, rain can never be relied upon to keep away for long. Many an outdoor meal has ended with everybody involved running indoors, struggling to shelter their half-eaten steaks from the sudden downpour!

If you want to get the outdoor dining experience without worrying about pests and precipitation, a garden room from SunSpaces could be the answer. Here are a few reasons why:

Our outdoor dining rooms...

  • ...provide shelter from unexpected bad weather
  • ...allow you to use indoor-only dining furniture
  • ...keep insects out without ruining the view
  • ...can be opened up to let the sunshine in during warm periods

Even if you're lucky enough to work from home, you probably spend most of the day sat at a desk (or, failing that, the dining table). But have you ever considered working outdoors? The fresh air, tranquil surroundings, and natural sunlight are almost certain to have a positive impact on your stress levels and general wellbeing, and this in turn will help you to be more productive during work hours.

If this is a route you'd like to explore, we at SunSpaces are eager to help. Our sunrooms and verandas make fantastic outdoor offices, allowing you to set up a fully-functioning workspace in your very own garden. It's hard to overstate the difference that a nice view can make, and it's nice to be able to look out over your lawn while you brainstorm your next big idea!

So, if you'd like to swap your current working environment for something like this...

We offer two different types of structure here at SunSpaces: garden rooms and verandas. Both are appealing choices, albeit in slightly different ways, but which option is right for you?
 
That's the question we're aiming to answer with today's blog post. Below, we have listed three benefits of adding a garden room to your property, as well as three benefits of installing a veranda in your garden. Hopefully, these two lists will help you to make that all-important decision!
 

Garden Rooms...

  • ...have walls to keep out the wind on blustery days.

  • ...have windows and doors that can be opened on warmer days to let the sunshine in.

  • ...can be locked securely, allowing you to leave your possessions inside without worrying.
 

Garden Verandas...

  • ...provide shelter on rainy days without shutting out the fresh air.

  • ...generally cost less than full garden rooms (although this depends on the design that you request).

  • ...give you the feeling of being outdoors while offering protection from the elements.

Veranda

If you're looking for a simple yet stylish way to add that little something extra to your property, a SunSpaces veranda could be just the ticket. Here are 5 reasons to add a veranda to your home:
  • Go outdoors...even when it rains! At present, you probably don't get much use out of your garden on rainy days. The shelter afforded by a veranda will allow you to go outdoors even in bad weather, and generally get more use out of your garden overall.

  • Add an attractive new feature to your house. Made of toughened glass and aluminium, our state-of-the-art verandas make beautiful additions to almost any property. You won't be able to take your eyes off it!

  • Increase the value of your property. If you ever decide to sell your current home, you should find that your SunSpaces veranda ups the estate agent's initial estimate AND increases buyer interest in the property.

  • Build it yourself! If you buy your veranda from SunSpaces, our handy installation DVD will allow you to construct the whole thing yourself, which means that you won't have to pay for hired help. Of course, we do offer a full installation service if you'd rather leave the work to us.

  • Create a wonderful new space for yourself, your friends, and your family. Whether you're opening a bottle of champagne, relaxing with a good read, or enjoying an al fresco evening meal, a SunSpaces veranda gives you the perfect place to do it.

Once you've installed your garden room, you may well wonder how to fill it. Here are some suggestions that will help you to get the most from your garden room:
 
Lounge furniture
Lounge Furniture
Placing a couple of armchairs and a coffee table in your garden room is an easy way to make the space work for you. This will give you the perfect place to enjoy a spot of afternoon tea, or to curl up with a good book after a tiring day at work.
 
Dining Furniture
Similarly, a dining table and some chairs are all it takes to transform your new garden room into a classy, elegant dining area. Dining with friends is all the more enjoyable when you're sat in a splendid SunSpace!
 
Hot Tub
Want to do something a little different with your SunSpace? Then why not use it to house your very own hot tub? This will allow you to take a dip in those warm, bubbly waters whenever you like, without worrying about what the weather's doing!
