The Surprising Health Benefits of a Garden Room 

It comes as no surprise, but we love our luxury garden rooms and gazebos. Not only is each garden building thoughtfully designed by our team to be a beautiful garden structure, but they can be unique to each need and desire. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, a luxury garden room can host a range of surprising health benefits – from reducing stress in your gym room to sparking creativity.  

In this blog piece, we will explore the garden room lifestyle benefits and the transformative effects it can have. 

Mental and Wellness Garden Lifestyle Benefits 

Our luxury garden shelters seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces, adding sophistication and style to your garden. The natural surroundings, fresh air, and greenery have been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Spending time in nature is scientifically proven to lower cortisol levels and stimulate the production of serotonin, improving mood and overall well-being. And what makes it even better is that with a luxury garden room, you’re able to reap the rewards of the outdoors without having to leave your property. 

Adding small water features, garden sculptures, or simply expanding with more plants and flowers helps to create an intimate, enclosed and calming atmosphere that enhances the sensory garden experience. Furthermore, whether you decide to decorate it with soothing and soft decor, or opt for minimalist touches, the choice is in your own hands to create your oasis. 

The Power of a Garden Reading Nook 

For you book lovers, an outdoor reading nook is perfect to escape into a captivating read. Studies have shown that even reading for as little as six minutes a day can reduce stress levels by 60%, helping you appreciate the smaller joys in life. After losing yourself in a good book, your serene reading nook provides the perfect setting to reflect and debrief, whether that’s in the comfort of your own company, or among others. 

An additional garden room lifestyle benefit is transforming your luxury garden room into a dedicated yoga and meditation space. The natural surroundings and serenity of the garden create the ideal place for mindfulness practices and yoga practice. You might opt for a southeast-facing yoga room to catch the first rays of morning sun, perfect for early risers. Alternatively, a north or east-facing room, known for its spiritual significance, offers a serene space for meditation.

Physical Health Benefits  

A garden gym room provides the perfect solution for fitness enthusiasts looking for a comfortable space to work out. Exercising regularly has been shown to help boost energy levels and enhance your mood, as well as contributing to overall well-being and health. Even as little as a 30-minute run, a home workout, or an intense gym session once or twice a week will significantly improve your physical and mental health. 

It’s easy to see why garden gyms are becoming increasingly popular- no gym fees, convenience, privacy, accessibility – the list goes on... A garden gym room adds luxury value and aesthetic appeal to your property while complimenting an active lifestyle. Having a home gym makes it easier to keep up regular workout habits, as well as cuts down travel time and gym fees, making it simpler than ever to stay fit. 

Our luxury garden rooms can be thoughtfully designed to offer an easily accessible, private training space any time of the day, all year round. Our experienced team will listen carefully to your needs and requirements and recommend customisations for your new outdoor gym to ensure it’s a perfect fit for you and your workout style. 

Investing in Your Wellbeing  

In summary, a garden room offers a host of health benefits, including enhanced mental well-being, physical fitness, and improved productivity. It’s more than just a beautiful addition to your home; it’s a space where you can nurture your mind, body and spirit. If you’re looking to boost your overall health, we recommend that you consider looking into the lifestyle benefits of a garden room. It’s a personal sanctuary that brings you closer to nature, providing a peaceful retreat in your garden. Remember, investing in a garden room is not just about enhancing your property – it's about investing in your well-being.
