The Ultimate Guide to Customizing Your Portable Building

 


Portable buildings are normally delivered without any frills. There’s the sturdy frame, windows, doors, and floor—and no more. This lack of features is not a bad thing. It lets you personalize your garden Shed or tiny home to suit your needs!

You Can’t Go Wrong With Shelving

Shelves and racks are immensely customizable. For example, you can use triangular shelves to utilize all the unused space in corners. Floating shelves are popular with book lovers, plant parents, and anyone who needs extra space for tools.

Speaking of which, you can also consider pegboard shelves if you have a portable workshop or Shed. They help declutter your tools by giving them specific place-holders. You can also attach containers to pegboards to hold small items like nuts and bolts.

Choose Your Color Scheme

Do you love teal? Or a combination of powder blue planks with white finishes? Wherever you sit on the color gradient, don’t underestimate the power of paint. The right shade can lift your spirits and make you want to stay inside your Cabin or tiny home, and even counteract the limited sense of space. For example, calming or neutral tones can make you feel restful and not trapped.

A Living Landscape

Portable buildings not only look great with new paint, but they also blossom when incorporated into the landscape. Here, a green thumb is the key! You don’t have to be a professional gardener or landscaper to blend your Shed or Barn with the rest of your property. Options include potted plants, flower boxes, flower beds, adding a trellis for vines, and even garden decorations like a bird bath, stylish statues, and wind chimes.

Explore Interior Decoration

Space is limited inside portable buildings. However, that doesn’t mean that your decor must be less appealing than a large home’s. The tiny house movement is still going strong, meaning that many furniture and decor companies cater specifically to owners of portable buildings who need space-saving (but stunning) interior elements. A great idea is to choose furniture that pulls double duty. For example, add a chair or table that has interior storage space.

Expand Your Portable Building

Many portable buildings are easy to customize, as they are designed to be expanded for more space. This can include adding an extra room, a deck, or even a whole new section like a bathroom or kitchen. This can usually be achieved by partnering with a company that specializes in such alterations, or if you are a DIY enthusiast, then such an undertaking can become a satisfying personal project.

Keep Your Security in Mind

Criminal elements might consider portable buildings a softer target than standard houses. It’s essential to secure your Shed or Cabin, especially if this is your home. Popular options include an alarm system, doors and windows with good locks, burglar bars, and CCTV.
