Timber cladding offers a smart, modern and nature-inspired finish for garden rooms, helping them to slot seamlessly into their outdoor surroundings.

Gym? Office? Reading room? Home cinema? Or even a bar or ‘man cave’? Garden rooms have grown hugely in popularity as a way of unlocking space for your property.

As well as creating more possibilities for relaxation, a garden room can even add value to your home — but only if it looks the part. What species and colour should you choose? What profile? Horizontal or vertical?

To give you some ideas and inspiration for your next project, we’ve put together some stunning examples of garden rooms we’ve provided timber cladding for.
