Storage sheds have evolved from a simple place to store your belongings to a unique opportunity to improve the value of your property with form, function and aesthetic.

If you’ve been considering adding a storage shed to your property, be sure to check out these popular ways to use the extra space.

Here are seven creative ways to use your storage shed:

  1. Storage: One of the most traditional uses for a storage shed is, of course, for its additional storage space. You can store anything in your shed from toys and garden tools to your favorite holiday decorations. If you struggle with a damp or musty basement, investing in a durable storage shed offers a great alternative to your storage needs.
  2. Workshop: Some storage sheds are designed to be the ideal workshop area. These units offer plenty of floor and wall space so that you can add a workbench, shelves and other necessities.
  3. Home Office: Depending on the size of your storage shed, you can create the perfect home office space for when you need a little peace and quiet to get your work done. Simply add a throw rug, a desk, a few decorations and some lighting and you’ll be in the work zone in no time.
  4. Playhouse: Many homeowners are turning their storage sheds into their children’s own personal playhouse. Decorate the space in their favorite colors, add their favorite toys and watch your child let their imagination run wild.
  5. Guest House: Don’t have the extra room in your home when guests come to visit? Our two-story cabins and larger units with windows could provide you with the extra guest space you’ve always wanted. Play interior decorator and create a cozy environment that is sure to keep your company comfortable.
  6. Workout Space: In addition to a temporary living space, storage sheds can also be turned into another room you can use for your workout activities. By storing your workout gear in the shed, you will also be clearing up space in your home.
  7. Personal Getaway: Popularly referred to as “He Sheds” and “She Sheds,” these personalized spaces offer the quick getaway every property owner needs from time to time. Whether it’s a private space to watch the game or a tranquil environment to practice your crafts, a custom storage shed is just what you need.
