A shed doesn’t have to just be functional. What’s the fun in that? As you create your outdoor living space and invest in a shed, why not make it beautiful! Create a shed that matches the look and feel of your home & outdoor living space. Here’s 10 ideas to beautify your shed!
Small Enhancing features can go a long way
You don’t have to add much to beautify your shed. Here’s four ideas that you can implement cheaply that could add a lot of value to your shed and beautify it with a few simple add-ons.
Add custom paint
Beautify your shed with custom paint that matches or complements your home. Lincoln Built uses Rain Refresh paint by Sherwin Williams with self-cleaning technology. Every time it rains the panels clean themselves. Our custom shed comes in a tan color but with a beautiful coat of paint your shed can pop and fit into your outdoor living space.
Add shutters
Make your windows pop by adding Shutters. We offer vinyl shutters in a wide range of colors to help beautify your shed. Adding something like this turns your shed from just functional to something beautiful.
Add flower boxes
Are you a gardener? Add flower boxes below your windows. Even if you don’t have a green thumb, you can add fake flowers to allow your shed to stand out. We can install vinyl flower boxes that can complement your shed well and add extra color and texture.
Add a loft or workbench to your shed
Lofts and workbench are very functional allowing you to store more in your shed with the added levels but it can also beautify the shed with simple changes. Add paint to your loft or workbench, use varying color totes or boxes to keep you organized, add plants or a tablecloth to make the inside of your shed pretty. It doesn’t take much.
Lighting is everything
Lighting can make or break a space and that can also apply to your functional shed. Here are two additional ways to add light to your shed that can make a difference in your outdoor living space.
Add more windows
Who doesn’t love more natural lighting? Lincoln Built sheds 8 x 12 or larger come standard with two windows. Our windows are 18×27” and the bottom slides up to open to the outside. You could add additional windows to create more natural lighting throughout the shed. Visually from the outside, windows can make the shed look more appealing as well.
Add transom windows
Add some character to your shed doors with inset transom windows. Transom windows are very attractive and make your doors pop. Of course it provides additional lighting to the shed. The transom windows are a beautiful custom option that many clients opt for because it looks amazing.
What’s Beyond
Want to take your shed from a functional space to something even more beautiful and unique? Here’s a few ideas that you can add to make your shed much more than a shed.
Finish your Shed
What if the inside of your shed was finished so it looked more like a tiny home than a shed? Add electricity, drywall, add lights and an overhead fan or an air conditioner unit. This makes your shed useable for whatever you’d want it to be! Instead of a shed, you now have an oasis, a place of escape, a home office, a man-cave or she-shed. It could be whatever you wanted it to be.
Landscape around your shed
Beautify your shed through the landscaping around it. Don’t leave the space around your shed as dead space but instead add rocks, plants, flowers, anything to create a space that matches your lifestyle. This incorporates your shed into your outdoor living space rather than it just being functional; it could be a statement piece and complement the rest of your space.
Add a Porch
We had a client request that we build a shed with a porch attached to it. Anything you can dream of, we can build it for you. Add a porch so that the shed becomes more than just a workshop or storage space.
Add a Dormer Roof
A Dormer roof adds charm and character to larger sheds. The dormer roof can be added to sheds that are 10×12 or larger. Not only would it add more lighting and extra storage, a dormer roof adds an architectural style that stands out.
