10 Creative Uses for Portable Buildings (Beyond Storage)
When people inquire about our portable buildings, often their first thought is that they want a shed or some extra storage. But portable buildings can be so much more. At Buildings And More, we offer complete customization options for your building, so it can be molded to your exact vision. With some imagination, there’s nearly no limit to the creative uses for portable buildings.
10 Creative Uses for a Portable Building
This may be your first time hearing about portable buildings being used for anything outside of a shed. So if you need some portable building ideas, here is a list of our top ten creative ways to use a portable building.
Man Cave
Whether you want an at-home getaway or a space to watch sports with the guys, portable buildings make the perfect man cave shed! Away from the house, you can cheer as loud as you want for your favorite sports team or play exciting multiplayer games. All you need is a TV, a mini fridge, and your favorite hobby gear, and you’ve got yourself the perfect man cave.
She Shed
From girls’ nights at home to a space designed specifically for you, you can enjoy the peace and serenity a she shed creates. Similar to the man cave idea, portable buildings allow you to be separated from the main house, so you can enjoy the quiet and privacy in your own personal space. So find your favorite she shed ideas and designs, buy all the cozy decor you like, and enjoy your personal space shed in peace.
Hobby Workshop
Have you ever been working on a hobby and wished you could have a dedicated space for it? With a portable hobby shed, you can! You don’t have to worry about bringing potentially messy materials throughout the house—a portable building makes the clean-up easy and any mess localized. From loud woodworking to colorful paintings, design a space made to hold your hobbies.
Child Playhouse
Need a playhouse that can grow with your children? A portable building is a great alternative to less durable, plastic options. From a life-sized dollhouse theme to a space for your teenagers to play games in peace, you can enjoy the safety and fun a portable building provides for kids.
Work-from-Home Office
Remote and hybrid jobs are on the rise, and perhaps, you’re looking for a quiet, focused office space. Well, one of the most common creative uses for storage sheds we’ve seen, especially in the Lake City area, is work-from-home sheds.
Separate from the rest of the house, you’re free of distractions and able to get some focused work done. Plus, when the workday is over, you can leave the backyard office shed behind and enjoy your home in peace—think of it like a mini commute every day to bring some work-life balance!
Reading Nook
Do you love spending your time getting lost in books? If so, you may want to invest in your very own reading nook. During the day, windows allow plenty of natural sunlight for you to enjoy your books. Or you can add lamps and ambient lighting to set the perfect, cozy mood on a rainy day or at night.
At-Home Gym
Recent polls show that over 50% of Americans prefer working out at home. If you’re in this majority, turning a portable building into your own personal at-home gym can be a great addition! Our portable screen rooms are often the ideal size for a workout space. Whether you lift weights or want to have a designated space for a treadmill, you can save on the gym membership when you invest in a portable workout shed!
Guest Room
If you love to host, turning your portable building into a guest room is a great addition to your home. A portable shed provides both you and your guests with increased privacy, so they don’t feel like they’re intruding. With the proper insulation, flooring, and interior styling, a portable building can be turned into a home away from home for your guests!
Recording Studio
Whether you’re an aspiring music artist or getting started on a podcast, portable buildings can be soundproofed to create the ideal recording studio. Get away from the noise of your home or yard, and use our solutions as a portable workshop of creativity!
Game Room
Love game nights with friends? Design the perfect gaming space with a portable building. With shelving customization and a large enough table for all your friends, you can enjoy a space full of laughter and fun—all while keeping the clutter away from your home.
Can a Portable Building Have Electricity & HVAC?
Yes, portable buildings can come pre-wired, so you have all the necessary outlets and lighting for your personalized shed. However, HVAC systems are not included. That’s not to say they may not be able to be added later, though. Because of their small size, some people opt for in-window AC units as a cooling solution.
If you have questions about the logistics of your portable building, our team at Buildings And More is happy to help. We’ll look at your design and customizations and provide you with the best solutions for heating and cooling in your space. Whatever your vision, we can help bring it to life!
