Garden pods are one of the biggest trends in outdoor living right now, and it’s easy to see why: these luxury pods have so many possible uses! Being able to sit outside and enjoy your garden in all weathers is one of the most obvious (and don’t get us wrong, it’s a good one!) – but what about some of the more creative ways you can use a garden pod?
Let’s dive into some of the most fun and unique uses for outdoor pods that go beyond the norm, and can turn your garden into something seriously special. Check out our complete collection of Ornate Garden Pods to find a garden room of your own, and start thinking outside the pod today!
1. Outdoor Office
With more of us working from home than ever, it’s important to take steps to protect your mental health. One of the ways recommended by the NHS is to have a dedicated work area, separate from the rest of your living space. This can reduce distractions and help you to switch off. And what better home office than a garden pod, where you can literally close the door on the workday after 5 pm?
Our garden office pods have options with tables, power supplies, lighting and speakers, so you have everything you need to work comfortably online. Being in a light-filled space surrounded by nature can also help boost creativity, reduce stress and improve your mood. Plus, you’ll have the best background for your Teams calls!
2. Quirky Guest House
Nowhere in the house for guests to sleep? Tell them to leave the tent at home and put them up in your outdoor pod instead! Many of our oval house pods have the option of a half-bed upgrade, which makes a great guest bed for the occasional overnight visitor.
Heating and lighting options will ensure your guests are comfortable, and they’ll enjoy having their own space and unique accommodation under the stars (seriously, who needs AirBnb?) Meanwhile, you can leave the air bed pump happily in the shed, where it belongs.
3. Cool Kids’ Hangout
Parents, are you fed up with losing your living room to den building, teenage hang-outs or student reunions? Then this one’s for you! Turn your garden pod into the ultimate kid’s playroom/gaming den/chill-out zone, and contain the inevitable noise and mess in your garden room.
Kids will love having their own space to entertain their friends, whilst you can still keep your eye on them through the panoramic windows.
4. Hobby Haven
Whether you’re into Warhammer or writing, crochet or crosswords, a garden pod is the perfect place to practice your hobbies. Leave your equipment and materials set up in your pod and you’ll be ready to crack on with your passion projects whenever you can escape for 5 minutes.
5. Relaxing Spa Retreat
Ready to put your feet up somewhere in nature and relax with your friends? Forget the expensive spa hotel and organise a relaxing retreat in your garden pod instead. Thanks to our adjustable LED lighting options, you can set the mood and create the perfect ambiance.
Add relaxing music and calming scents with essential oils, to create your very own pamper pod. Best of all, your garden sanctuary is only ever a few steps away.
6. Alfresco Art Studio
If you’re the creative type, our garden pods offer the perfect place to let your artistic side run wild. The bright and airy space inside makes for an ideal art studio – you can even switch up your view with one of our rotating pods. Connect your favourite playlist to the built-in speakers and let being immersed in nature inspire you to create your best work yet.
7. Separate Study Space
You’re never too old to stop learning and a garden pod makes an ideal study space! Whether you (or the kids) are revising for exams, learning an instrument or practising a new language, an outdoor pod can offer you a quiet and calm place to concentrate, away from the distractions of family life. Plus, if you’re at the bottom of the garden, your neighbours might not be able to hear your dodgy guitar playing!
8. Outdoor Cinema
Fancy a movie night? Then turn your garden pod into a mini outdoor cinema! Our pods come with built-in seating, or you can add the half-bed upgrade to make things extra cosy. Set up your laptop or a projector and screen with the latest new release lined up – all you need then are the snacks. Pass the popcorn!
9. Dinner Party Pod
Host the best dinner party in your perfect alfresco dining space. Our Pods & Pavilion Pods can seat up to 20 people, so it’s easy to squeeze everyone in. Whether you decide to go for cheese and wine, a Great Gatsby theme, or a murder mystery evening, your guests are sure to be as impressed with their surroundings as they are with the food (and the company!)
10. Garden Pub or Bar
If cooking for 20 guests doesn’t sound fun (we hear you), why not simply set up a garden bar to enjoy a drink under the stars? Stock your outdoor pod with your favourite tipples, invite your friends over and spend the evening mixing cocktails and swapping stories. Thanks to adjustable heater and cooling fan options, you can create a welcoming environment in any weather – and it’s not far to stumble home afterwards.
11. Casino Capsule
Looking for somewhere to play poker or blackjack with your pals? Perhaps you’ve got a stag do or Las Vegas-themed birthday party to plan? An outdoor pod is the perfect place to set up your home casino – away from the kids, pets and other distractions. Lower the LED lighting to set the mood, shuffle the deck and let the chips fall where they may!
12. Greenhouse Globe
If you’re itching to flex your green fingers, your summerhouse pod can even double as a super-stylish greenhouse. The 360-degree windows will allow plenty of light to reach your seedlings, while openable windows provide ventilation to ensure an ambient temperature. Whether you’re nurturing flowers, herbs or veggies, nothing beats the satisfaction of growing your own in your pod!
