If you’re finding your house is a bit cramped and full of stuff you need, but just can’t get rid of, then it could be time to consider purchasing a backyard studio. Studios are the cost-effective storage solution. However, they can be used for much more than just a storage space. Here are 10 uses for a studio you may not have considered:
-
Home office
When you need your own private space outside of the house to completely concentrate on work, then a studio is often the perfect solution. A studio offers enough space to set up a desk and a computer. You can work distraction free, while never having to leave your own property.
-
Music studio
For those who need a place to record and practice their music, but can’t quite afford all that time in an expensive private studio, then creating your own is the next best option.
Simply add a bit of insulation and soundproofing and you’re good to go. A studio is a great way to get the band out of the house and provides a private place to practice or record music, without disturbing the neighbours.
-
Photographer’s studio
For those who are a bit more creative, you often need a place to call your own to complete your work. For photographers, you often need a quiet location to take photographs of your subjects. Having a studio can be the perfect solution. You can fit in all your equipment to ensure you will be able to complete your work interruption free. You could even design it to make sure there is less interference from natural light.
FT Architects created an enviable photography studio in Japan, with the design considering the impact natural light would have on the interior.
