Maximising Your SheShed: Smart Additions to Truly Make the SheShed Your Own

A SheShed is a versatile space, whether you’re using it as a home office, creative studio, guest space, or a cosy retreat, customising your SheShed helps tailor it to your needs.  But what exactly can you do to it to make it your own and perfectly suited to your needs and your property? Let’s explore some of the best ways to customise your space while ensuring it remains functional and stylish. 

Building a Strong Foundation: The Steel Foundation Kit

Building your SheShed on a strong and stable foundation is critical to its longevity. There are many foundations options available to you when building your flatpack cabin and one key one for consideration is the SheShed Steel Foundation Kit.  

This kit comes with all the steel pre-cut to fit your cabin perfectly making it very easy to assemble and providing you with all you need to build a level and durable platform for your cabin, helping to prevent moisture damage and keeping your cabin stable. A solid foundation is key to longevity and stability, ensuring your SheShed remains in top condition for years to come, and the Steel Foundation Kit is the perfect foundation.

Keeping it Comfortable: Roof Insulation Kit

Too hot – yuck! Too cold – brrr. No one likes to be uncomfortable; that's why temperature control is essential for making your SheShed comfortable in all seasons and what better way to control the temp in your cabin than with the SheShed Roof Insulation Kit.

Made from 40mm thick commercial grade high density foam, the SheShed Roof Insulation Kit helps regulate indoor temperatures, keeping your space cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

It is super easy to install while assembling your cabin, this kit sits on top of the ceiling boards but under the asphalt shingles which means when you're inside your SheShed you still get to enjoy the look of the stunning roof boards while being comfortable.

Optimising Your Space with Smart Additions

SheSheds come in a variety of styles and sizes. The smallest being the 5m2 Cottage Garden shed, up to the Lake cabin at 29m2 and with cabins at all sizes in between clever styling and design choices mean you can fit more into your SheShed and maximise every square metre without feeling cramped. Here are some essential accessories to consider: 

  • Shelving and storage solutions: Floating shelves, wall-mounted racks, and under-desk storage help keep your space clutter-free. 
  • Use wall space efficiently – Vertical storage options like hooks, racks, and pegboards help keep items off the floor while maximising vertical space. 
  • Multi-functional furniture: Invest in modular furniture and pieces that serve multiple purposes. Consider fold-down desks, sofa beds, or storage ottomans to keep your SheShed adaptable for multiple uses. 
  • Keep it tidy – Organisation is key! Storage baskets and hidden compartments can help maintain a clean, open feel. 
  • Lighting options: LED strip lighting, pendant lights, or even fairy lights can create a warm and inviting atmosphere. 
  • Climate Control: Portable heaters, cooling fans, or insulation solutions make your SheShed comfortable year-round.
