Enhancing Backyard Appeal & Functionality: Outdoor Sheds
A better backyard with enhanced appeal and purpose can create a more enjoyable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space that improves your lifestyle, increases property value, boosts entertainment and improves overall health and wellbeing.
Outdoor sheds can be an invaluable tool to lift the overall appeal and usefulness of your outdoor space. Find out more about the true value that these structures can bring to your backyard, and other ways that you can lift your space.
How outdoor sheds enhance backyard value & use
1. Additional storage space
Outdoor garden sheds provide additional storage space for tools and equipment that ensures you have somewhere to keep garden tools, lawnmowers and other outdoor or seasonal items when not in use.
2. Organisation & clutter reduction
With a designated space for outdoor belongings, outdoor storage sheds are able to keep the home and garden clutter-free and enhance organisation. A decluttered space will make your property look and feel great, and make it easier to find items when you require them.
3. Curb appeal
Well-designed custom sheds are able to enhance the overall aesthetics of your backyard and add to the visual appeal of your outdoor space. Select a shed design that compliments the architecture and landscaping of your property to impress guests and potential buyers.
4. Versatility
Sheds are able to serve a variety of purposes and their functionality can be altered to your changing needs. Whether you are after a workshop, a home studio, an office, or a gym, this adds a flexibility to your space that can be tailored.
5. Added security & protection
Storing valuable equipment in a shed offers them protection from the elements and therefore a longer lifespan, saving on replacement or repair costs. They are also less exposed to theft or damage, and can be securely stored under lock and key.
6. Room for activities
Sheds are able to be transformed into dedicated spaces for activities including hobbies, an outdoor entertainment space, or even a children’s playroom. As an area separated from the rest of the house, this can act as a personal retreat with distance from the main home and less distractions, ideal for a space to work or create within.
7. Landscaping design
Able to be designed to integrate with landscaping design, sheds can add depth and visual interest to the overall layout of the backyard. Whether they are a focal point of the outdoor space or made to blend with other elements, intentional design can complement your property.
8. Additional property value
While property value is influenced by location, population growth, and the changing market, there are elements that you are able to control that influence home value. If you are planning on eventually selling your property, potential homebuyers find the additional convenience and space offered by a shed to be quite appealing.
Other ways to enhance backyard appeal & functionality
1. Add outdoor lighting
Lighting can instantly change the atmosphere, so the addition of outdoor lighting is a great way to lift the look and feel of your outdoor area. Consider fairy lights, pathway lights or spotlights.
2. Quality outdoor furniture
Creating comfortable and attractive areas with outdoor furniture is a good way to make your yard more attractive.
3. Fire pit
A fire pit or fireplace can create a cosy atmosphere while also meaning the space is more usable on cool winter evenings.
4. Garden beds
Adding raised garden beds is a great way to add texture to your backyard. Consider planting colourful flowers, or a veggie patch.
5. Water features
While water features are visually appealing, the sound of running water alone can be an ambient addition that enhances serenity.
6. Install pergolas
For additional shade or a defining feature, pergolas or arbours are a great choice to beautify the space.
7. Add an outdoor kitchen
An outdoor kitchen or grill is an excellent option for entertaining that can transform a space and enhance functionality.
8. Pavers or stepping stones
Add decorative pathways to improve visual interest while acting as a guide through the space.
9. Attract wildlife
You can add a sense of connection to nature into the backyard by including features such as bird feeders or butterfly gardens.
10. Art & decor
Any sculptures or art can really personalise the space and express individual style, making the area more pleasing.
11. Children’s play area
For a family-friendly environment, add a dedicated play area.
