Aesthetic summer cottages for your site.

With an open terrace

The simplest trailer is a metal container or a wooden box with a door and a couple of windows. The structure is usually not erected permanently, but is transported to the destination by a tractor, so it is installed on supports or a light foundation. Let’s go further and attach a porch to the trailer to protect visitors from the rain, or equip it with a roof and add a terrace where it will be nice to relax after hard work in the garden.

There is no room to turn around in a small trailer, let alone sit quietly at the table. The terrace will become a convenient place for outdoor meals, a transfer point for disassembling equipment and sorting the harvest.

With a glazed veranda

The glazing of the protruding street part will give the utility room a resemblance to a cozy garden house. The veranda, reliably protected from bad weather, will become a favorite place for evening get-togethers at the dacha with relatives and friends. Decorating the windows with curtains or tulle will make the utility room more attractive and lived-in.

The glazed space expands the storage options – you can keep things there that you won’t leave in the open air.

With two levels

Let’s get back to the containers – if you take two and install them on top of each other at an angle in a reliable steel frame, you will get a two-story utility room with a claim to architectural chic. It is easier to make the stairs to the upper tier external. The resulting structure will remain to be interestingly decorated, and then the admiring glances of your neighbors on the site are guaranteed.

Such a utility room can easily be equipped with a canopy for a car at the intersection between two containers, having built a roof there on a support.

In a rustic style

Let’s move on to the most interesting part – how to give your utility room a unique face and harmoniously fit it into the landscape? If you own a colorful Russian estate, build a utility block from uncylindrical logs and decorate it with themed accessories: benches, a trough, a barrel, a spindle, baskets, boots, and towels. The tree with its pristine beauty will bring the composition to perfection.

Rustic huts-towers with ornate carvings look great, but such works of folk architecture require either the highest personal skill or solid material investments in someone’s professionalism.

In the English style

The landscape direction is very popular here, and if your dacha also resembles a picturesque corner of old England, get a shed in the British style. It’s easy to do: a pitched roof across the building, a door in the center, two windows on the sides with the obligatory flower boxes, and carelessly scattered bushes and islands of tall grass at the threshold.

Classic English garden utility blocks are made of stone or wood and painted in a brutal muted range: gray-brown, blue-green, burgundy, terracotta.

Provence style

The French are unlikely to know the crude word “outbuilding”, but there are houses for the corresponding purpose in any yard. The owners make them light and airy, decorate them with wreaths, tulle, wicker furniture, garden watering cans, hanging flowerpots and floor vases. The walls are often covered with creeping plants, and around them there are flower beds, which give way to people only at the threshold.

The Provencal analogues of the utility rooms are decorated in pleasant romantic shades – powder, lilac, azure, olive – and always have a vintage, slightly abandoned look.

In the half-timbered style

The Roman-Gallic architectural heritage has not left central Europe to this day. Previously, adobe houses were built on the territory of modern Germany, Austria and Switzerland, but now only the love for dark wooden frames on a light background of walls remains. If you also like this technique, use it to decorate your utility room.

Half-timbered construction can ennoble an unprepossessing utility room and make it the main accent of the landscape, especially if you complement the picture with heavy forged lamps and suitable ornamental plants.

In a modern style

Not every dacha is an example of an old traditional design concept. Many people build country residences from glass and concrete, cover the yard with flat green grass and install cubist masterpieces in the garden, but the lawn mower and hoes still need to be stored somewhere. If you are faced with exactly this problem, give your utility room a modern minimalist look, as in these pictures.

We want to hope that one of the presented ideas found a response in your heart and inspired you to arrange a comfortable, functional and beautiful utility room!
