Design your own She-Shed

Sophie began by creating an inspirational Pinterest mood board combining dark colours, punctuated with rainbow brights. She narrowed down her Roller blind fabric choices to two pretty florals that would work perfectly within a garden setting.

Sophie really does love colour! She paints the exterior of the shed in a practical, yet dramatic ash black decking stain, and chooses bold and bright colours to contrast with the brooding exterior.

A good crafting shed needs plenty of storage to hold all your tools and materials. Sophie incorporated a whole range of inspirational and quirky storage ideas, including fun metal buckets and old tin cans decorated with wrapping paper.

Because this is a practical crafting space, Sophie wanted a floorcovering that would stand up to the inevitable stains and spills. She chose Homestyle Swan Taupe vinyl flooring which is wonderfully warm and soft underfoot, but also moisture-resistant, hardwearing and stain resistant.

The She-Shed is now ready to be dressed, and our expert advisor arrives to fit Sophie’s made-to-measure Nelda Fruity Roller blind. Sophie fell in love with the cheeky, retro feel of this ditsy floral print. The bright colours echo Sophie’s paint choices and help to bring the overall scheme together.

Here is the finished look, complete with welcoming planters at the door. Sophie’s inspirational She-Shed is packed to the rafters with original, quirky features and creative ideas. She has created an  Aladdin’s cave of treasures that you’ll love to escape to.
