Top 6 Examples of Sheds As Homes

 

Advantages of Sheds as Homes

Sheds as homes is a great way to start taking control of your life and finances by finally becoming a homeowner. If you don’t have the immediate finances to purchase a shed to convert, we can help! Classic Buildings is happy to partner with Hearth financing  to provide our customers with financing options to own their building without breaking the bank. Applying to view your pre-qualified loan options has no impact on your credit score, and Hearth is able to offer financing to customers with credit scores as low as 580. 

 Sheds as homes also give you these additional advantages:

Save Money: An average house costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase or build whereas sheds as homes can be completed for much less. Your utility bills will also be less as you will have a much smaller space to heat, cool and light.

Save Time: Building a home can take up to a year to complete, but because of its smaller size, a shed as a home will take a fraction of the time.

Save the Environment: Fewer natural resources are required to build and to maintain a shed as a home than for conventionally sized and constructed homes.

 

Example #1 – Renovated Lofted Barn – Wise Flooring Choices

The lofted barn style shed will give you the perfect place for an upper bedroom. This shed conversion done by Erica Nicole Biggers is all about the flooring choices. She knew that it was important to find flooring that would not only look good but also stand up well. She chose a sturdy, luxury vinyl that resembled hardwood for the lower level and a soft carpet for the loft that would be gentle on her knees because she knew she would be crawling a lot.

 

Example #2 – Holly Pond Cottage – Beautiful French Doors

This next of our examples of sheds as homes is called the Holly Pond Cottage. It was designed by Kent McCaffrey of Gratitude Millworks and it features a beautiful modern kitchen and gorgeous French doors that open out onto your back garden and allow for plenty of natural light in your home. Who says that tiny can’t be elegant?

 

Example #3 – Windham Cabin – Everything All on One Floor

If you are concerned about climbing up to a loft to your bedroom in your tiny house, you don’t have to. You can choose a cabin that is all on one floor. There’s plenty of room for even a comfy and ample four-poster bed. We love the added feature of the wood-panelled ceiling in this lovely shed conversion found in TinyHouseTown.net, located in Windham in upstate New York. 

 

Example #4 – Family Home – Don’t Forget to add Some Rustic Style

Many people might think a shed as a house isn’t an option for them because they have children, but that doesn’t have to be the case. This tiny house from TinyHouseTown.net can accommodate a small family as it comes with a full-sized kitchen, bathroom and two loft bedrooms. And just because you own a tiny house, doesn’t mean that you have to give up on your style. This rustic barn shed conversion with its barn-board siding, white-washed flooring, and open shelving is big on style.

 

Example #5 – Millenial Tiny House – Take Your Home on the Open Road
