April is Stress Awareness Month: Can You Improve Wellbeing With a Garden Room?
Stress can be both debilitating and can aggravate existing health problems or create new ones, so it is important to be able to manage our levels of stress in a number of ways.
In this blog, we’ll take a look at the ways we believe a garden room can help you on your journey to manage stress and highlight what a positive investment into our well-being and mental health it can prove to be.
How will a garden room improve wellbeing?
When you invest in a Swift Garden room you are not only investing money into your property that will equate to added value, but you are also investing in you and your family.
As we have mentioned, you really cannot put a price on mental health and wellbeing. Having that additional space to take yourself off to, a dedicated space where you can clear your mind and de-stress year-round, could be extremely valuable. A room where you can close the door on the hectic parts of real life and make time to focus on you from time to time.
Let’s run through the types of uses of our bespoke rooms that you could really benefit from:
Garden Gym / Exercise Space
Whether you prefer to get those endorphins pumping on an exercise machine, pumping iron or take a more holistic approach with yoga practice and Ujjayi breathing, a dedicated space for you to indulge is priceless. A private workout space is also a great way to encourage whatever physical activity you and your family enjoy and say goodby to the excuses.
Hobby Room
Hobbies come in all shapes and sizes! From baking studios to sewing rooms, reading rooms to model trains, our versatile spaces will suit most needs.
Having a hobby will enrich your life and brill overall emotional wellbeing. Hobbies are a way to relax and decrease stress by taking your mind off the everyday concerns of daily life.
Multipurpose Space
A versatile space, separate from the main house, somewhere to escape to…sound like bliss?
Many of our clients value the addition of a warm, sheltered space in the garden that will allow them to extend their outdoor entertaining beyond the unpredictable summer months. Some opt for a bar area allowing them to have pub or gin bar ‘feel’ at home, without struggling on space to accommodate those extra bodies.
Add a pull-down screen, comfy chairs and freshly popped corn for movie night…
Another popular option is the addition of a covered deck area, typically used as a relaxation/lounging area or for a hot tub. Sit back and let the bubbles melt away your troubles! With a multipurpose garden room, the possibilities are endless!
Games Room
If you or your family members love games (yes, this is a broad term…from Monopoly to Fortnight, snooker to chess), you’ll know that games take up space!
What better way to get more space in the main house, than to put all the games in their own dedicated space.
Playroom
In a similar fashion, children’s toys take up space…lots of space! To keep those all-important play essentials in one safe space, freeing up valuable previously cluttered rooms in the home can be quite liberating!
The added bonus of all of our garden rooms is their versatility…the playroom for today’s ‘needs’ can easily transform into the teenager den of the future!
So, can you improve wellbeing with a garden room? Will a garden room contribute to improving your overall mental health? We think investing in a garden room is an excellent investment in you!
Having that sheltered place in the garden, somewhere you can spend time bringing nature into your everyday or doing something that will free you from the everyday stresses of life will bring benefit both to your mental and physical wellbeing, and can make you feel calm. What better way to acknowledge Stress Awareness Month!
