If you're considering adding a portable shed to your property, you may be concerned about making it fit seamlessly with the rest of your outdoor space. After all, so many of us take pride in our lawn and garden spaces, and who wants to add an unsightly eyesore for storage? Not to worry! This blog will guide you through incorporating a shed into your lawn and garden design. Together, we can make your shed an aesthetic addition to your outdoor space, not just a practical storage building.
What do we mean by “fitting in” and “looking good?” As your home reflects your style and personality, so should your shed! The trick is to blend the structure naturally with your surroundings and choose a design that complements your home. While this may sound complex, there are many ways that you can prioritize the aesthetic of your portable shed, whether you choose to work with a professional or on your own.
Here are a few practical ways to help your new storage shed blend in:
Whether your home oozes modern chic or classic country charm, there's a shed style to match. While every shed serves a slightly different purpose, whether for garden storage, additional living space, or otherwise, you still have various options for aesthetics.
Sleek, minimalist sheds work perfectly for contemporary urban homes, fitting in seamlessly with the sharp lines and edgy aesthetics. On the other hand, for those with a ranch-style house, a rustic-style shed will harmoniously blend with your laid-back, countryside vibe. Remember, your shed, like your landscape design, should mirror your lifestyle.
Size matters when it comes to fitting a shed into your backyard. Keep proportion in mind when choosing your shed size. It should cater to your storage needs and yet not overpower the rest of your yard. You’ll want to think about the kind of things you’ll store inside your shed and ensure that there is enough space to move items in and out, store them inside, and organize them with enough space to access your items as well.
Blending doesn't just mean fitting in physically but also color matching. Choose a shed color that complements your landscape. A shade that mirrors the color palette of your garden or home will help the shed blend seamlessly. Luckily shed manufacturers like our team at Quality Storage Buildings provide various color options. This ensures that you will most likely be able to find a color that you not only love but that complements your existing outdoor color scheme.
Plants can be your best friends when blending a shed into your backyard. Adding shrubbery and flower beds around the base of your shed can soften its outline and help it feel more integrated with your garden. Doing so can also add a layer of dimension to your space, leveling up the entire experience of your outdoor areas.
When bringing the shed into your backyard, a careful plan is crucial. First, precise measurements and sizing are essential to ensure the shed fits seamlessly into the available space. Consider the shed's dimensions, considering any potential restrictions such as fences, trees, or walkways. Once the shed is in place, establishing a sturdy foundation is vital for its longevity and stability. This may involve preparing the ground, leveling it, and laying a solid base.
Now, let's discuss the art of blending the shed into your yard. Strategically planting gardens and shrubbery around the shed can effectively camouflage it within the existing natural beauty of your backyard. Carefully selecting and positioning plants can create a sense of visual harmony, softening your new shed’s edges and allowing it to blend seamlessly with your landscape rather than starkly standing out. Considering the shed's placement, foundation, and surrounding greenery, you can ensure that it becomes a discreet and charming addition to your outdoor space.
The last thing you want is a shed that feels out of place or doesn’t fit your needs. We urge all our customers to consider this absolute number one consideration. Ensure it fits perfectly in your space by measuring the area before purchasing your shed. You’ve likely heard the woodworking saying, “measure twice, cut once.” Measuring the space for your backyard shed should be done with the same level of precision. You deserve a shed that will maximize your utility, and accurate measurement will set you up for success.
