Five Ways You Can Make a Storage Shed Into Livable Space


Houses fill up fast. You may think you’ve got all the space you need for a moment, but the next time you look around, the great room is doubling as an office or the spare bedroom has become your spouse’s retreat. Storage sheds can help expand the amount of livable space you have, but if you’re not sure how you would use that space, here are a few suggestions:

1. Game Room

2. Home Office

Whether you operate your own business or are one of a growing number of workers that telecommutes on a part- or full-time basis, you need an office space to work in. Minimize the distractions of being at home and build an office in the backyard. Here’s how to do it.

3. Tiny House

In the last few years, interest in tiny houses has been rising. So has interest in converting smaller spaces, like storage sheds, into living spaces. This may be the right solution if you are considering renting out livable space on your property. Or if you have a family member or friend coming to live with you who wants space of their own.

4. Hunting Cabin

Do you own a piece of hunting property with no hunting cabin built on it? Tweak a Cumberland Buildings cabin into the perfect spot to store your hunting gear and rest your head during hunting season. Not sure how to do that? Here are a few suggestions for creating your dream hunting cabin.
