This concept is designed for people who don’t mind small spaces. Of course, we’ve seen a lot of he sheds and she sheds but this is meant for everybody.

For couples that have the space to build one of these we sheds gives a lot of creativity for the cutest little hangout areas. Not only does it allow for the both of you to have some closeness but allows the use of additional square footage. When you’re done you get to go back to your house! They are perfect for hosting small get-togethers, a reading space, office space, and so much more. Sometimes having this additional space can be a lot more convenient than you realize.
Should You Get A We Shed?
Ideally, this is something that you would add to your tiny home or your property. Of course, people love to use their main house for a variety of different reasons. However, having a we shed expands those possibilities and allows for a lot more creativity for the both of you. We sheds also give you the chance to break away from everyday living in your house. What’s even cooler about these designs is that there’s more than enough space for both of you. Whether you want a TV, a reading nook, or a fireplace, it’s all doable. All you have to do is find the perfect spot to put it!

Shared Space
Some couples have two sheds connected together by a singular deck that they share. It allows you to have your own space as well as being connected to the outdoors. Leaving you with nothing but the potential to create your perfect outdoorsy home to your liking. You don’t need to be in Houston to get one of these either. Our neighbors north of the border are doing it too! Take a look excerpt from the Ottawa Citizen.
“People don’t think of using a shed for some purpose other than storage … a lot of people think, gross, spiders and bugs or whatever else, (But) the possibilities are endless … and what you’re seeing with the whole shed trend is people are keeping that rustic, outdoorsy look.” Explains Ottawa designer, Kristi Blok from Kiki Interiors.

We Sheds Have A Lot Of Potential
It’s all a matter of perspective and how you view your daily living. If you live in Canada, or somewhere full of nature, this might be a really good idea. Having a sustainable lifestyle can take on many forms. Tiny homes, we sheds, and so many other variants allow you to live a minimalist and freeing life. Not being bound to a particular structure gives you the ability to expand outward.
That’s exactly what Lynsey Bennett did to her home in Ottawa’s Little Italy. Completely transforming her entire backyard into the ultimate hosting garden. Paired with her own we shed, she claims that this has changed her lifestyle entirely. “It’s another extension of my home. When I do entertain, I don’t have to have everyone in my house. I have the deck or people can hang out in here … It adds another dimension.” Bennet explains her joy and reasoning for having a we shed in her backyard. “It surprises people when they come here because I’m living in the middle of Little Italy but I have all this square footage.” She adds.
