Imagine creating your very own garden bar where you could enjoy delicious tipples and the company of your family and friends all in the ambience of your own back garden. With a functional yet elegant garden room bar, you can do just that. Not only will it provide a space for relaxation and enjoyment, it will also elevate your exterior aesthetic and potentially increase your property value.
Whether you're keen on hosting gatherings or simply want a private retreat to relax, a garden bar room provides the perfect solution.
What is a garden bar?
A garden bar is a structure within your garden designed primarily for serving and enjoying drinks. It can range from something as simple as a garden building with a drinks counter, to a complete set-up with wall-mounted optics, refrigerators and comfortable seating set amidst the greenery and open skies of your garden.
Why have a garden room bar?
A garden room bar merges the best of both worlds – the beauty and serenity of your garden with the comfort, luxury and functionality of a bar. It provides a unique and ambient space, setting the mood for relaxation, socialising, and entertainment. Enjoy alfresco evenings with a glass of your favourite tipple in hand and blur the lines between indoors and out by throwing open the double entrance doors or even hosting on your veranda. The perks of a garden bar room as opposed to an outdoor, uncovered garden bar is that it can be used in any weather, no matter what time of the year.
Whether you love to host friends and family or prefer to enjoy your downtime solo, a garden bar will provide a beautiful escape from the distractions of your main home. If you have a particular ‘happy place’ in the world, such as a holiday destination or even a special hotel or venue, you could choose to decorate your garden bar around this theme, bringing a slice of your own personal paradise to the back garden.
The benefits of a garden bar room
Social Space & Entertainment
Having a garden bar room essentially provides an inviting setting ideal for gatherings, where there is an effortless indoor-outdoor flow that brings you closer to nature. It becomes the go-to spot for socialising, giving friends and family a comfortable place to get together and enjoy each other's company. With a bar right in your garden, every event has a focal point, making hosting even more enjoyable. Functionality is key in a garden bar room. Instead of running back and forth between your main house and the garden during social events, the garden bar room offers a streamlined solution that can be equipped with everything from fridges, sinks and a toilet. It makes serving guests simpler and keeps the entertainment flowing smoothly in one spot.
Added property value
By adding a garden bar, you’re also enhancing your property’s potential market value. A well-designed garden bar room can be a selling point, making your home stand out to potential buyers and adding an aspirational quality. Understandably, the last thing you’ll likely be thinking of is selling your property when making such an investment, but you can rest-assured that a garden bar room will deliver an excellent ROI in both monetary and intangible aspirational terms. A garden bar room enhances the value, aesthetics and overall appeal of any property.
Year-round use
Our garden bar rooms aren't just for sunny days. With effective insulation and heating, these spaces are prepared for year-round use. This means you can enjoy your garden room bar even in chillier seasons, without compromising on comfort - Christmas get-togethers will be better than ever! It also encourages you to get outside and immerse yourself in the nature of your garden when daylight hours are at their lowest, giving you a much-needed boost and allowing you to enjoy your surroundings throughout the year.
Versatility
While the primary function of a garden bar room is clear, its potential uses are diverse. It can serve as a games area or man cave for a night with friends, a setting for movie nights or simply a calm space to read and relax. The adaptability of the garden bar room ensures it can fit a variety of needs and preferences. It will also effectively ‘future-proof’ your property and provide a changeable space that can suit shifting needs and desires. For example, if you choose to start a family, you might prefer to use the space as a playroom for little ones. Alternatively, it could transform into a home gym or even a customised WFH office.
Our garden bar features & considerations
Lining & Insulation
Our range of garden bar buildings can be equipped with insulation and lining to ensure that it remains comfortable all year round, and that the interior temperature is controlled throughout the seasons. This gives you a space to enjoy whatever the weather! Each of our buildings go through the same insulation process, which you can find more information on here.
Power Supply
By adding our electrical pack feature to your chosen garden bar room, you’ll be able to enjoy light, heat and power in your bar room which is essential for things like fridges, TVs and draught pumps. It will be readily installed with your building, and will just need connecting to your mains upon completion.
Building style
Our choice of different garden bar rooms will allow you to opt for a style that suits your needs, preferences and the aesthetic of your garden. Things like full-length windows and double doors will ensure that you can enjoy plenty of natural light and panoramic views of your surroundings, while different roof options will ensure that blends well into the environment.
Personalisation
During the design process of your garden room bar, you can customise everything from window and door placement through to the colour scheme of your paint palette. We offer a range of different roofing materials as well as a choice of interior flooring - you can truly make it your own!
