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.

This oversized chair offers room to stretch out, but doesn’t take up as much space as a loveseat ($479.99, Empire Home Center).
