16 Garden shed design ideas for you to choose from

16 garden shed design ideas for you to choose from

We’re going to start with a very simple garden shed. It’s actually a potting shed and it’s made of wood, like most sheds are. It has a very simple design and structure and it even includes a covered exterior area so that you can work outside and have all the tools nearby even when the weather is not that friendly.

This is a very beautiful shed and it matches the main house that was originally designed by J. Merrill Brown back in 1887. In fact, it’s like a miniature version of the main residence. The colors chosen for the exterior are simple but beautiful and the roof is charming as well. It has a very chic look and it’s like an updated, more elegant version of the shed presented above.

When building a shed it’s important to be able to envision it two years later. That’s because garden sheds are truly beautiful and reach their full potential when they are surrounded by wonderful green vegetation. This storage shed is a perfect example. The colors chosen for its exterior also help it integrate into the surroundings.

Of course, you can also with that by adding a few hanging plants or wall creepers. In this case the little details are not that important. It’s the overall image that matters. This garden shed has windows so its interior is bright and it’s been built to serve as a studio or workspace.

The landscape surrounding this shed makes it look like it’s part of a fairy tale. The colors help with that as well. The combination of red and white give it a typical barn look and the roof only completes the perfect image. It’s like looking at a house from a

cute computer game. All the colorful plants, grass and those rocks further make the whole image even more beautiful.

And we’re back to simpler designs. This garden shed features poplar siding, reclaimed windows and self-made barn door hardware. But this simplicity is not the only charming detail that makes the shed special. This one also has a green roof, not a very common element in the case of annexes and separate, small structures.

This is another garden shed/ miniature house. It even has a door and windows just like a regular home. It was originally in bag condition but it has been restored and brought to its former beauty. Its original charm was also preserved and the shed currently serves as a tool shop with the potential of becoming a studio.

This garden shed takes its name very seriously. It’s placed in the middle of the garden and stands out with its cute white design. It’s a lovely addition to the landscape and it’s very functional as well. It’s great for storing all the garden tools and it also serves as a comfortable work space and a lovely area for relaxation and for entertaining friends.

This is a shed that integrates nicely into the landscape. It has a steeply pitched roofline and resembles the angles found in birdhouses, on a larger scape of course. Even though it’s small comparative to other garden sheds we’ve seen so far, it still provides space for relaxation and entertainment but this time in the form of a very lovely space with a white picket fence and a couple of comfortable chairs.

This structure is quite different from all the sheds presented so far. First of all, it’s not actually a shed but just a structure with a design similar to that of a shed but one that you can walk right through. Still, it’s perfect for storing garden tools in and it has a simple, rustic charm. The image is completed by the stone path leading to this pseudo-shed.

This is a shed with a visible gothic feel. It’s an impression given by the arched windows but also by the overall antique look. The shed features stamped-metal roofing and hanging plants on its façade and adjacent roof that also shares the same worn-down, antique look.

Of course, garden sheds can have more elaborate designs as well. For example, this one features a porch. It’s a relatively common element and it’s great in the case of those sheds that serve as quiet and calm spaces where you usually go to relax and clear your mind. It’s nice to have something like on your property. This shed even has views of not only the garden but also the hills.

Even though garden sheds are typically one-story structures, there’s no rule that says you can’t change that. Take this shed for example. It’s a two-level structure and the second story is a quiet and relaxing area, like a mini-bedroom. In this case, both the interior and exterior designs are elegant. The shed is infused with natural sunlight coming through the dormer window upstairs and the checkerboard tile floor adds a touch of style as well.

Also, sheds are usually made of wood. But you can change that too if you have a more elaborate plan for your garden shed. This is a particularly imposing shed with cedar-shake siding and shingles and a brick exterior, mortared stone steps and a large door with matching windows. It’s a beautiful getaway and you don’t even have to go far to reach it.

And since we started with a simple shed, we’re going to finish in the same tone. This cute garden shed has a very lovely, simple and clear look. It’s made with prefab wall panels and doors and windows that slip into precut openings, making the building process very quick and easy. Then all you have to go id decorate it with hanging baskets and boxes and add beautiful plants.

16 DIY Headboard Projects

We’ve all got one…a bed. And we all have one thing in common about our bed…it’s the focal point of our bedroom! What’s the best way to maximize that focal point? Create a DIY headboard and give extra personality to the bedroom. You can tailor the style of the headboard to your bedroom theme, or create a storage headboard to give you tons of extra space! This is easy folks, you can do this! Check out our first, featured project, from Samantha Elizabeth. This DIY vintage shutter headboard is so amazing. And I had to include the pic with the pup… I LOVE THIS!!!

‘AKA Design’ shows us how to make a reclaimed wood headboard, with new wood! I wanted to include this one because my oldest daughter Bree and her husband John just did one of these headboards that I will be doing a post on soon. (As soon as I can get over there with my camera! Never enough time in the day!) They did such and amazing job! In the meantime, you can make a DIY headboard like theirs. Easy, cheap, cool.

House Tweaking created this DIY love headboard, which I…love. They did something really cool in their tutorial… they shared a pic of the flush mount hangers they used to hang their headboard… I wanted to include that because these hangers could be used to hang anything as a headboard! Basic supply 101 in DIY headboard making…

More shutter headboards… we ran across this one on Pinterest and it was crazy popular… Mini lights behind the shutters give it pop!

I HAD to include this next one…this 90 year old door was made

into a headboard… I would L.O.V.E. to have something like this in my home! If you can’t figure out the DIY to this project, the builders, Vintage Headboards, do sell the plans…

When it comes to DIY tufted headboards, we wanted to share our own DIY upholstered headboard project over at TBD. So there it is…. but we’re also going to stop being shameless promoters and share Apartment Therapy’s DIY tufted headboard tutorial… Love it!

The Knuths did their own version of this headboard…

‘Style Me Green’ has a good basic primer on how to build a headboard out of a door. (Might be useful for figuring out a DIY to the 90 year old door project above!)

From DIY Network and Decor and the Dog, this cottage style headboard is simple to make from easy to find lumber.

From ‘Averie Lane’, check out their three part series on how to build a platform bed and salvaged door headboard. I love how the more modern bed juxtapositions itself with the vintage doors!

This Old House features this shipping pallet headboard by The Rooster and the Hen… made for just $3.50 worth of nails! I think taking it to the ceiling made this project.

Find out how to build a floating headboard by Brian Hazzard… Some 3M Command strips and some easy staining work, and you have it!

From Ana White, this reclaimed wood headboard tutorial has full plans!

From ‘Sometimes on a Tuesday’, this DIY headboard project was created using styrofoam ceiling tiles, spray painted yellow, and attached to the wall with sticky adhesive squares.

Remember I promised some storage headboard options? Well try this creative idea from Lana Betty Designs on Pinterest…using old dresser drawers hung on the wall as an interesting drawer storage headboard!

And lastly, plans from the very talented Ana White, who continues to share woodworking plans anyone can do, and they are amazing. This one is her Hailey storage bed. Love!
