She Sheds and Me Sheds

The term "she shed" may be gender-specific, but anyone who needs a place to escape without going too far could use a she shed or, more aptly named, a "me shed." Basically, a she shed is a small, dedicated space outside your home — usually in the backyard — that's set up for you to work, enjoy a hobby or just a place to relax and get away. When it comes to decorating your shed, make it your me space and design it just for you. Make it colorful and funky or soft and serene, whatever makes you happy and expresses your personal style. We've rounded up a few she-shed ideas; let these designs inspire you to create your peaceful sanctuary.

The homeowners of this elegant boho garden gazebo wanted a light, airy shelter, so designer Vanessa Matsalla painted the space all white with the exception of the pretty teal doors. Three desks were added to the octagon getaway making this gazebo a WFH delight.

Yoga Shed

Salute the sun every morning by converting your storage shed into a quiet place for stretching and meditation. Paint the walls a soft hue, hang a print of your happy place and install meditation bells. And if you don't have them already, consider putting in French doors to enjoy plenty of fresh air.
