Start Cleaning Up

To start turning your old shed into a she shed, it’s time to clean out any garbage from it. Start by throwing out any unused and broken tools, find new storage for the stuff that you want to keep, and give the old shed a good scrub.

Add Insulation

The next thing on the list is insulating your shed so you can be comfortable in it. You can look up available types of housing insulation in your area and figure out how much protection you want. By adding insulation you are protecting the heat from entering or exiting your she shed which will make this hideaway even cozier and even energy efficient.

A Fresh Coat of Paint

This is where you can get creative. You don’t want your new haven to be boring and plain. So, research which colors you would like to use for the exterior. It can be as colorful as a fairy tale house or you can stick to a cottage-like exterior and anything in between. Give your creativity a boost and be playful.

Define Its Purpose

The interior design and elements of your she shed will mostly be determined by its purpose. So, give it a good thought and see how you’d like to spend time there. If you want to work from your she shed, then consider adding proper lighting, a desk, and a comfy chair to create a stress-free environment. If it’s going to be a place for relaxation, add a cozy window bench for reading or a comfortable couch or bed where you can relax.
