Anything Goes WITH A SHE SHED
She sheds originated as an outdoor building converted into a relaxing retreat. When it comes to decorating, the creative possibilities are endless — it’s really about your personal style and interests. Given this wide creative berth, even if you don’t have a shed, you can still apply this concept to a garage, basement or other room in your home.
1. To start, consider your goals for the space: she sheds can be used as a quiet hangout, a spot to showcase a collection, or a dedicated space for pursuing a hobby. If crafting or hobby activities top your agenda, you may want to add cube organizers to your space. This nine-cube organizer has a rustic sugarberry wood finish and can accommodate bins or baskets for hidden storage
($109.99, Empire Home Center). You can also use these versatile cubes for storing books, art supplies or scrapbooking materials. For yarn crafters, you can stack up your skeins for a colorful display that enables you to see your inventory at a glance. To expand your storage options, you can combine multiple units into a custom arrangement.
2. For space-saving seating that doesn’t skimp on comfort, consider a chair-anda-half. This oversized chair offers room to stretch out, but doesn’t take up as much space as a loveseat ($479.99, Empire Home Center). The neutral hue pairs with any décor and is a perfect for pairing with bright, bold throw pillows.
3. Make the most of your space by adding pieces that do double duty. This storage trunk has a retro vibe and ample room for storage. Use it to corral blankets, games or anything you want close at hand. The sturdy top can double as a coffee table for placing books, snacks or even for putting your feet up ($819.99, Fecera’s)

5. Area rugs are a natural fit for she sheds, a practical way to add warmth and comfort to your floor and aesthetic appeal. With its bold design and neutral color palette, this gate-patterned area rug is durable and coordinates with a variety of furniture colors and styles ($359.99, Fecera’s)
