Tips to Style Your Shed

Painting Your Garden Buildings
Once you have decided how to use your space you can then move on to think about how to decorate it. Some of the fantastic themes featured in Selina’s book include, botanical, vintage, industrial and bohemian. Selina has some creative suggestions as to how you can achieve these themes. For example, if you would like to create an industrial looking space she suggests using rusting metal. Alternatively, for a neutral colour palette you could use bare wood or to make a statement you could even paint the exterior of the structure. Depending on what you are using your garden building for and your own personal style, this book will help unleash your creativity and lead you to finding the perfect way to decorate your space.
Greenhouse Interiors
Shed Style’s chapter on greenhouses covers advice on how to style the interior of your greenhouse and includes which materials to use for your paths and how to repurpose furniture. Unsurprisingly, we particularly love this chapter on greenhouses and are thrilled to be included in the selection of examples. Selina has fond memories of spending time in her parents’ greenhouse as a child and has since developed a great passion for them. She writes ‘unloved, forgotten greenhouses have a romantic allure for me, and I like to daydream about bringing them back to their former glory’. We most definitely share this passion and it is lovely to see how Selina imaginatively transforms the interiors of beautiful glasshouses.

Selina’s experience in this industry is abundantly clear, from sheds to shepherd huts, cabins and greenhouses this book is so full of fantastic advice and beautiful detail. It is a must read for anyone who loves spending time in their garden or simply styling their interiors.
