What Are L-Shaped Garden Rooms?

You’ve probably seen L-shaped garden rooms before. They are essentially standard modern garden rooms but created in an L shape rather than a square or rectangle.

At Into the Garden Room, we have lots of garden building designs, including our popular signature range. We can create L-shaped garden rooms using many of these designs like the Dawn room.

Simply take a look over our range, choose a design you like, and we can create a bespoke L-shape out of it.

Why Choose L-Shaped Timber Garden Rooms?

There are many reasons why people choose L-shaped garden rooms. For a start, they look a bit different, so they stand out from the standard square or rectangular shape.

They also provide you with two separate spaces. You can use the whole garden room as one open room or have two separate rooms to use for different purposes.

They also create a corner space between them, which you could use as a patio, for example. Or you may have a feature like a tree in your garden, and this type of room can go around it.

Potential Uses for Your Garden Room

Just like other garden rooms, an L-shaped garden building can be used for a wide range of purposes including an L-shaped garden office, yoga studio, art studio, garden gym, children’s playroom, games room, summer house and more.

Because they have two distinct spaces, L-shaped garden buildings are also ideal if you want a multipurpose room. For example, you could use one side as an office and the other side as a studio. You could also install the latest garden room tech to turn it into a smart garden building.

Having had our room completed last week, we cannot speak highly enough of the entire service from Into the Garden room, from the initial consultation with Paul, right through the design, planning stages and to the choices of finishes and through to the onsite build team.

When the team came to install we were was blown away by how efficient knowledgeable and helpful they were, they communicated the whole process and talked us through every stage and also were able to fully maximise the space I had and even tweaked the designs for us.

Superb advice, unbelievably hard-working and had it wrapped up in 5 weeks.
It was a significant investment however worth every penny! Highly highly recommended.

Paul and Mel, Molesey, Surrey

Very Pleased – We engaged with Into The Garden Room shortly after we moved house. We wanted a space where we could build an office for remote working. We contacted Paul who visited us and sent us a proposal with costings. When we were ready to commence the team turned up on time, worked hard, and were both polite and professional. The project took about 6 weeks in total, and we were left with just what we had asked for, a beautiful solution that sits perfectly at the bottom of the garden.

If you're green-fingered, a south-facing house or garden is generally better for growing a bigger range of plants and flowers, although the soil will usually be drier so you'll need to do more watering too.
