Garden sheds modern design
The modern garden house - This is what it looks like!
Modern garden houses are in vogue. After all, a garden shed today should be more than a dark storage room. Whether as an additional outdoor summer residence, as a small holiday home for overnight guests or as a shelter for e-bikes and the like – garden sheds are desired today that blend harmoniously into the garden design and visually enhance the outdoor area. What makes a garden house modern are above all the clean lines, glazed doors and large windows that let in more light and air. On request, modern garden sheds are also available in current trend colours such as anthracite or terra grey. The crowning glory is a modern Wooden garden house depending on your taste, from a pitched, monopitch or flat roof, so that you can buy a garden house to match your home.
Absolutely "en vogue" – A garden house made of wood!
Even though the shape, colours and design of garden sheds have modernised, wood is still recommended as a material. Because even for a modern garden shed, there is no better material than wood:
- Wood is a renewable, environmentally conscious raw material.
- It has a low manufacturing energy requirement.
- The ecological footprint of wood is better than that of other materials.
- As a building material, wood is particularly resistant and robust.
- It is a natural thermal insulation material and ensures a pleasant indoor climate.
- Wooden garden sheds can be set up and dismantled quickly.
- If necessary, damaged areas in the wood can be easily repaired.
- Due to the natural material, wooden garden houses fit well into the garden.
In view of all these advantages, Karibu has made a conscious decision to use high-quality wood as the basis for the production of modern garden sheds. In addition, care is taken to source only wood from ecological, responsibly managed forestry. As part of its commitment to sustainability, Karibu is also supporting the planting of a new forest in Einbeck in southern Lower Saxony and the planting of new trees in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. For the sake of our environment.
New applications – More than just a storage room!
In the past, garden sheds were mainly used as tool sheds or bicycle sheds to keep garden tools and bicycles out of the way and to protect them from wind and weather. Today, however, modern designer garden houses are also often used as an additional lounge in the garden. One person creates a summer retreat in the garden with a modern garden house, another a hobby room to retreat to, the third wants to stylishly store his garden utensils in his modern garden house - or all at once. The variety of modern garden houses makes it possible to fulfil all wishes under one garden house roof. Among other things, there are also Garden sheds with two separate rooms or with a covered terrace.
Which garden house suits me best? Ideas and possibilities
Modern garden sheds are available from Karibu in numerous variants - whether small garden shed, two-room garden shed, with or without canopy or covered terrace, as a classic garden shed or as a rustic one Log Garden Shed . Which garden house is right for you depends mainly on the planned use:
Summer residence: If you like to sit outside and relax regularly, you should buy a modern garden house with a deep canopy or covered terrace. Then you can sit outdoors protected even in bad weather or strong sunlight. It should be borne in mind that the currently very popular lounge garden furniture often requires a lot of space and therefore a particularly large terrace. If the designer garden house is designed in a modern way, it becomes a real wellness oasis in the garden.
Party room: If the modern garden house is to be used for garden parties, neighborhood meetings or family celebrations, you should also opt for a large covered terrace so that no downpour can dampen the mood at your parties. If the garden house is to be used more as a house bar, where the guests spend time indoors, no terrace is necessary, but enough space for the installation of a counter, etc.
Guest house: Whether overnight guests, your own children or yourself - a modern garden house can be used excellently for overnight stays. However, there should be enough space indoors for this, although a modern garden house with several rooms is preferable. If the garden house is often used by friends or family as a holiday home, the installation of a heating system and a wet room should be considered. A thicker wall thickness is also recommended to have good thermal insulation.
Equipment shed: Accommodating garden tools in a garden shed is a classic way of using it. A modern Wooden garden tool shed ensures in no time at all that the garden utensils are beautifully packaged, so to speak, and the garden is visually upgraded. If you also want to use the modern garden house for something else, you can also simply store the garden tools in a planned side room or extension of a larger garden house.
Bicycle shed: A safe shelter is especially important for expensive e-bikes, but also simply for the beloved and much-used bike. In a windowless room or a garden shed extension, bicycles are particularly safe and protected.
Hobby Room: Whether as a painter's studio, handicraft room or workshop - with a modern garden house, additional rooms can easily be created that are missing in the house. If the garden house is only used for your own leisure activities, all utensils can simply be left behind without having to constantly put away the half-finished work.
Plant overwintering: In order to get Mediterranean plants through the winter well in our latitudes, the garden house should have wooden walls that are as thick as possible. In this way, the plants can be offered a sufficiently warm winter quarters without the need for additional insulation.
