Ideas for Repurposing your Outbuilding


Your shed or barn has multiple uses you may not be making the most of.  More and more people are using these spaces to convert to another purpose other than what was intended, or even multiple uses.

Here are just a few ideas what your current outbuilding can become:


A shed or barn can be transformed into a “man” space (sometimes referred to as mancaves).   Whether you outfit your building with tools, an area to relax with TV (providing electric is in the building) is up to you.  These spaces are becoming more common with longer work weeks; busier people need time to just chill. 





A paint room or craft room for that special someone who enjoys time to themselves to appreciate their hobby.  This could be any hobby, not just painting.  


A pet quarters for either part of your structure or all; your pooch will thank you!


A party room (goes great with your pool) can be converted from a shed.  A bar, seating and 
decorations will put your guests in a festive spirit.  Perfect for your next party or family get together.


A pool room can also be a great asset for your conversion.  This space can have a bathroom or just a place your guests can change privately and not track water into your house.  This is a great addition for the family that has frequent pool guests.


Your building can also be transformed into a guest house for visitors.  This all depends on electric, water and sewage to your structure—unless you don’t mind your guests sharing your homes kitchen and bathroom with your guest.


Consider adding a garage to your structure.  If you have a garage already, you may want to consider turning unused garage space into your new living quarters or an apartment space for someone else; maybe to rent out.  The possibilities are endless.  If you don’t have an outbuilding, consider building a new one.  These spaces can be great for multi-purposes such as the ideas above and create an income stream if a property is rented.
