To help you out, we’ve put together a few ideas that work well across most types of multi-use garden rooms.
Read on for 10 garden room furniture ideas that will help you to make the most of your garden building, whether you plan to use it for relaxing, entertaining, working, or more.
1. Comfy Sofa

If you’re planning to use your garden for relaxing or entertaining, a good sofa should be high up on your furniture list.
Think about how you’ll use it; do you want a large, or a small sofa? A cosy sofa for two, or an L-shaped sofa that fits the whole family?
Garden rooms and summer houses are perfect places to lounge around and relax. They’re also great for entertaining, and when you welcome guests you’ll want to provide them with a place to sit back in comfort while enjoying the views of your garden.
While not every garden room needs a sofa, it’s often a popular feature. So, enjoy exploring different sofas to find one that matches your style and budget.
2. Dining Table
Do you plan to enjoy family meals in your garden room, or host dinner parties? If so, a good dining table is a must have.There’s something special about sitting in a garden room enjoying a meal while taking in the view of your garden.
The style is up to you. You’ll likely want a table that fits the rest of the decor, whether that’s a shabby chic look, dark hardwood, a lighter oak, or a rustic metal and wood design.
Whatever style you choose, make sure there’s plenty of space to move around the table. You don’t want it to take up all the space in your room, or get in the way.
Another good option is to get an extendable dining table. That way, you can use the small table when you’re on your own and then make it larger when you’re entertaining friends and family.
3. Stylish Ottoman

Another good idea for furniture is a high-quality ottoman, which is perfect if you love contemporary garden room furniture.
As well as being able to put your feet up, cushioned ottomans are also stylish and comfortable to sit on, so you can use them as extra seating when needed. They’re smaller than sofas and easy to move, and can even be used for storage – making them a practical addition. You get a stylish piece of furniture, while keeping your cushions, blankets and anything else you want out of the way.
Plus, they come in a huge range of designs and so it’s easy to find the right look for your garden room.
4. Storage Items
Garden rooms come in all shapes and sizes, but making the most of your available space – especially in a small room – means making use of smart storage furniture.
So, consider getting furniture that helps to keep clutter at bay. That could be a storage unit on wheels to keep your work equipment and stationery hidden under the desk, or chairs that double up as storage boxes that are great for tidying up toys, cushions and general clutter.
Storage benches are comfortable to sit on and can also be used to hide cushions and blankets, which you can bring out when needed.
5. Drinks Bar & Barstools

Setting up your own bar in your garden room? Great idea. A home bar is a fantastic way to entertain guests and save on trips to the pub.
You could get yourself a stylish wooden bar to recreate the traditional pub look, or a more contemporary style that you might find in a high-end cocktail bar. Complete your chosen look with several bar stools fitting your theme.
Don’t forget a fridge, and consider placing floating glass shelves along your back bar for storing bottles (or a drinks cabinet if you don’t have space). You could also include stylish lampshades hanging over the bar for mood lighting and to give your bar area a more authentic look.
6. Hanging Chair or Bench
One eye-catching, but less obvious, item to consider is a hanging chair or bench. These are perfect for garden rooms because they’re fun, quirky and practical.
A hanging chair doesn’t take up much space, and provides you with a great place to relax and enjoy the view of your garden.
You could hang one up inside your garden room, or outside on the decking to enjoy on warm summer days.
There are lots of styles to choose from, and it will add an element of charm to the overall look and feel of your garden room.
7. Beanbags

Need some extra seating in your garden room? Beanbags are ideal. Fun, quirky, comfortable and easy to move around, they’re particularly perfect for small spaces.
There’s an endless range of colours and designs to choose from, and kids love them. They’re also easy to store away, so you can hide them behind the sofa when you don’t need them.
Beanbags are affordable, and a great choice if you’re using your garden room as a living room.
8. Bar Cart
If you plan to entertain guests, or serve food in your garden room, a bar cart, also known as a serving cart or drinks trolley, is a great addition.
They’re perfect for hosts. They move on wheels, so you can push them to wherever you’re serving, whether that’s at the table or outside.
Plus, a cart doesn’t take up much space, so you can keep it out of the way when you’re not entertaining.
9. Spacious Office Desk

If you have a garden office, a good desk is essential. There’s an almost limitless choice when it comes to desks, so whether you want a desk that’s small, large, metal or wood, you’ll be able to find what you need.
A corner desk could be a good option, especially in a smaller garden room. Keeping it tucked away is useful if you plan to use your space for multiple purposes.
Again, it’s just a case of making sure it fits the overall style of your garden room. You might also want to find a desk that comes with storage in the form of drawers or cupboards for your office supplies.
10. Coffee Table
Whether you’re reading the morning paper or entertaining guests, a good coffee table is a handy item in any living room – and the same is true for your garden room.
If you’re looking for small garden room furniture for a compact space, then a stylish wooden or metal coffee table provides the perfect focal point.
It’s a practical option for serving drinks and snacks, and you can move it around with ease, allowing you to put it out of the way when you need the space.
