Nature Inspired Rooms

About

We build the room we'd want at the end of our own garden.

Nature Inspired Rooms designs, builds and installs garden rooms for homes across the UK and Greece.

Who we are

We design, build and install every room ourselves, so the person who draws your room is in step with the people who make it.

Why we do it

Most garden buildings are sold as products. We think they should be designed as rooms: for a particular person, in a particular garden, for a particular kind of day.

The name is the brief. Rooms that sit quietly among the planting, made from materials that weather well, and built to be used every day of the year.

Principles

What we believe

  1. 01

    A room, not a shed.

    If you wouldn't accept it in your house, we won't build it in your garden. Insulation, glazing, electrics and finishes are done to the standard of a room you live in.

  2. 02

    The garden comes first.

    A building should sit quietly among the planting, in materials that weather well, and make the garden better for being there.

  3. 03

    Say what it costs.

    People deserve a rough answer before a sales visit and an exact one before they commit. We publish starting prices and itemise every quote.

  4. 04

    Build it once.

    The parts nobody sees, like the foundations, the membranes and the insulation under the floor, are the parts that decide how long a building lasts. That's where we refuse to save money.

  5. 05

    Be easy to deal with.

    Turn up when we said we would. Answer the phone. Tidy up at the end of the day. None of it is complicated, and all of it matters.

How we build

Every room is made for its site. Much of the structure is prepared before it reaches you, which keeps time in your garden short, and the room is then insulated, clad, glazed and finished by the same team. The specification page shows the build-up layer by layer.

Two climates, one standard

A room in the UK has to keep heat in. A room in Greece has to keep it out. The same things do both: insulation on every side, shade where the sun is strongest, ventilation you can control and careful orientation. Building for both has made us better at each.

Why quality matters

A garden room is a small building, and small buildings fail in small ways first: a door that starts to stick, a corner that stays damp, a floor that's always cold. Every one of those traces back to a decision made before the cladding went on. We'd rather get those decisions right than explain them later.

Working together

How we work with you

  1. 01

    You always know what happens next

    Every stage has a clear output, from a drawing to a quote to a start date, and you'll know who is doing what.

  2. 02

    One point of contact

    The same person from first conversation to handover.

  3. 03

    We'll tell you if it's a bad idea

    If the room you want won't work in the place you want it, we'll say so, and suggest what will.

  4. 04

    No pressure

    Take the drawings. Take the quote. Think about it. A garden room is a considered purchase and we'd rather you were sure.

The people

    Founder

    Hello, I'm Kevin, founder of Nature Inspired Rooms.

    I believe the garden is the most overlooked room a home has. A few steps from the back door there is space for the thing you keep meaning to make time for: the work, the workout, the quiet hour, the people you love coming to stay.

    A well-made room gives that time back. It should feel calm the moment you walk in, belong to the garden around it, and still be standing square long after the novelty has worn off. That is the room I want to build for you.
