Ways you can create a cosy, autumnal garden room 

Autumn has officially arrived, bringing crisp, misty mornings and the warm hues of brown and orange that greet us every day. If it isn’t a space you use daily, it might be fairly easy to neglect your garden room during the autumn and winter. However, our garden rooms can be used as extensions of your homes, allowing you to make the most of them throughout the seasons. With cosy interior design, you can transform your garden into a serene retreat, perfect for autumn and winter. 

Here are our suggestions for different methods you can incorporate in creating a cosy and inviting garden room.  

Soft, warm lighting 

The most recognised way to create ambience and a cosy atmosphere is through soft, warm lighting, which can instantly transform the mood and create a magical outdoor space. As night approaches, well-placed garden lighting can make the space both more beautiful and practical. Illuminating your Crown Pavilion luxury gazebo or garden shelter with warm, twinkling lights will create a welcoming, fun and dreamy atmosphere. Consider which areas of your garden you want to highlight – enhance the beauty of key features with elegant lighting and ensure seating areas are well-lit to enjoy them in the evening’s darkest moments. Something as simple as a lantern or candles will help create a beautiful autumnal ambience, and even strings of fairy lights hanging across your garden room.  

A wood-burning stove or electric heaters? 

With the right heating and insulation, a garden room can be used all year round, not just during the warmer days of summer. All our garden rooms are fully insulated, providing a cosy outdoor escape when you want an escape from your home.  

There are numerous ways to heat your garden room, but our top favourites are electric heaters, convection heaters or wood-burning stoves.  

Convection heaters are effective at warming the air extremely quickly, so there’s no need to preheat your garden room before use, making them great for saving energy and cutting electricity costs. Similar to electric radiators, convection heaters have timers and fitted thermostats so you can control the temperature throughout the day, giving your garden room a quick heating boost at night to stop your pipes from freezing over winter. Depending on your preferences, you can choose from stand-alone or wall-mounted convection heaters for a streamlined finish and efficient use of space. 

A wood-burning stove complements the style of a log cabin or wooden garden room perfectly, fitting in with the traditional, rustic interior and making a classy addition to your space. Wood burners warm up the room effortlessly and keep it toasty for long periods. There are various types of fuel sources you can use for your wood burner, and you can even find carbon-neutral options for a more sustainable way to heat your garden room. 

A Wood-Fired Oven 

Just as you use your garden room in summer for socialising and entertainment, the fun doesn’t have to stop just because it’s colder. Cosy nights are what we all look forward to in autumn, and a DeliVita Wood-Fired Oven included as an extra in some of our packages is a great supplement for this. 

These ovens are an ideal addition to any garden room, combining space, versatility and exceptional performance. They’re perfect for creating a cosy atmosphere in your garden room because they reach very high temperatures quickly, they’re multifunctional and stylish… so what’s not to like? 

Imagine relaxing in the cosy embrace of your Crown Pavilion garden room, the warmth of the wood-fired oven adding a rustic charm to the air. The aroma of freshly baked pizza fills the space as you sip a glass of your favourite wine. Who needs summer and warm weather when you can achieve the dream lifestyle in the snug comfort of your garden room? 

Textures and cosy throws

The best and most effective way to add cosiness to your garden room is by layering textures to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for snuggling on the cold, dark nights. Think plush velvet sofas, a thick hand-knotted jute rug, or even a Moroccan wedding blanket as a vibrant accent throw. 

Mixing and matching different textures that complement each other is a great way to create an inviting atmosphere because you can create contrast and balance by combining smooth and rough textures, such as a thick, woolly blanket in your wooden garden room. 

You can also use texture to highlight focal points, making your room feel more inviting and drawing attention to the areas or features that you want to showcase, whether it is your wood-fired oven or perhaps your dining area for socialising. Different textures can evoke different feelings and emotions in your space, and you want to aim for a calm and cosy feeling. Using soft and warm textures in your garden room can help build upon this feeling of cosiness. 

Transforming your garden room into a cosy, autumnal retreat is easier than you think. With the right lighting, heating and textures, you can create a warm and inviting space perfect for relaxing and entertaining throughout the colder months.
