It’s that time of the season already. With 2025 nearing its end, the festive vibes have set their cheer across the country. Scented candles, baked goodies, cosy rugs, gift boxes, and everything else, there is definitely something very special about the Christmas season. 

While you set up your home for the festival, your garden room can become the perfect retreat for Christmas and the holiday season. 

Set Up A Christmas Theme

Decorating and setting up your garden room can bring in instant charm and warmth. 

  • Choose a theme: From winter wonderland to rustic woodland, pick a decor style that complements your home and your personality. 
  • Add lighting: Fairy lights, battery-powered lanterns, and LED candles can add to the soft, festive glow. Using string lights across windows and beams can help you add warmth to your garden room. 
  • Dedicated space for Christmas tree: A tabletop tree or a Christmas tree dressed in baubles, tinsel, and lights adds to the festive fervour. 
  • Seasonal decor: Festive faux-fur throws or tartan accents help elevate the wintry comfort and make the room feel cosy and warm. 

Warm Spaces, Comfortable Spaces

Did you know? All our builds include foil-backed plasterboards and 100mm insulation in walls, floors, and ceilings, helping your space stay toasty even in frosty temperatures. Here are quick tips for keeping your space warm throughout the day:

  • At London Timber Buildings, we provide our customers with standard heating options and also offer upgraded heating to meet evolving and dynamic family needs. 
  • Layered rugs and thick thermal curtains can help you retain the heat of the room. 

Festive Uses for Garden Rooms 

Your garden room can be your seasonal haven while you focus on making the most out of the joyful season. 

  • Secret Wrapping Station: Still figuring out how to hide your gifts? Use the private garden room space to wrap your presents discreetly for the perfect Christmas surprise. 
  • Santa’s Grotto: Decorate your garden room for the perfect storytelling night for the children. Red drapes, fairy lights, and festive music help elevate the ambience. 
  • Holiday Home Office: Looking for a calm space in the midst of all the holiday chaos? A garden room can be an ideal spot for your team calls and focused time. 
  • Crafts Corner: Think of a Christmas project: wreath-making, tree decoration, gingerbread decorating, or card making. You could use your garden room as the Christmas workshop, where you prep for the big day. 
  • Cinema Room: A projector, soft seating, and a hot-food station could make your garden room a perfect space for a good family bonding time during the festival season. 

Light Up the Outdoors

  • Walkway lights and solar lanterns create a safe and inviting access to your garden room. 
  • A festive wreath on the door sets up the perfect mood for a great Christmas entrance.
  • Potted evergreens and decorative fairy lights can further elevate your space and make it festive-ready. 

Get Set for Seasonal Hosting

  • Set up a festive dining table with candles, winter foliage, and seasonal tableware. 
  • Sideboards and bar carts are a perfect addition for your lunches and dinners.
  • Have a few extra blankets and throws for your guests. 

Regular Maintenance Checklist

  • Check gutters, sweep leaves, and inspect the roof regularly.
  • Add door draft-stoppers to keep chilly air out.
  • Non-slip decking and mats ensure safe access. 
  • Check the heating and ventilation of the room for the perfect toasty evening.
