If you’re looking to create a breakaway space in your garden, you won’t be disappointed.

Yet when doing this, you want to ensure it’s executed properly. This means making the most of the space and kitting it out correctly. In this article, we take a look at some top tips for setting up a breakaway space in your garden. Keep on reading to find out more and get inspired.
Consider how you will decorate the space
The first thing you need to consider when you are setting up your breakaway space is how you will decorate it. Are you going to make a space where you can use it for work, but your children also can play in it? Will it be multi-functional? Think about things like the colours you will paint the walls and the type of flooring you want, such as carpet, laminate or wood. Add pictures to the walls, and blinds to the windows and consider adding things like plants to really bring the outside in.
Think about the amenities
When you are down in the garden, you don’t want to have to go back inside the house for every little thing. With this in mind, it’s worth getting items you can make the most of in the space, for example, water coolers are a great idea to stop you having to go inside every time you want a drink of water. You could get a kettle if you want a cup of tea and a mini fridge. These will all make a big difference, particularly if you are planning on working from the breakaway space, or using it as a studio where you will be spending a lot of time.
Decide how to make it multi-functional
If you have a family or just want to make it a space that can be used for many things, that can be great. Keep in mind how you will store items, so get plenty of storage such as shelves or drawers, as well as a neutral decor that will work for everything. Get furniture that can be moved away if needed to make room on the floor and consider how you can make it a space that works for everyone.
These are just a few things you can do that can help when it comes to setting up a breakaway space in your garden. Whether you want a large space that can be used for multiple things, or just somewhere small away from the main house you’re spoilt for choice.
